Fast forward to 6 years later after this video was made, and they now (mercifully) make the proper fuel tank again for fuel injected cars. SWEET!
WHAT SIZE Flywheel? 200/ 228mm, AND how would we determine?
Such a beautiful bus!!! I don't even own a VW but I love your videos.
Disclaimer * The first 13 minutes of this video is of tappy taperton. Taaaaaap it in…. Just taaaaap it in………
Slow down slow down losing my grip lol
In 1968 my Dad taught me the hydraulic method of removing pilot bearings/bushings: Fill the cavity with wheel bearing grease, find a dowel about the same outside diameter as the inside diameter as the bushing/bearing. Use tape to adjust the outside diameter of the dowel to be about 0.001 or so bigger than the inside diameter of the bushing/bearing. Take a hammer and pound dowel into the center of the bushing/bearing. You will then observe the non-compressible physics of a fluid (essentially) and the bushing/bearing will be forced out.
Great work around. Lesson One: Only buy Made In Germany Parts that are stock with/for the VW you are working on.
Flexible,clutch tube also prevents clutch “chatter”
We do it right because we do it twice!" @ Yea. That's my motto too! LOL
Nice build Mustie, I'm located in the Netherlands and there are shops here totally specialist in vw Beatles and busses I see you gave got not so good aftermarket exhaust half a inch off? That's horrible stuff.
Again nice build
Let's see an American car you take the hood, remove the exhaust manifold and pull the wires and any vacuum tubes and extract the engine work on it and put it back. The clutch pedal, the brake pedal, and the gas pedal are all in front, no cables to route over the length of the car, how simple a front-engine is to work on.
very interesting – Sir
I have always shaved a bar of soap filled old pilot bearing took a round piece of steel rod that fits inside old bearing repack soap pound soap repeat till bearing comes out I learned 50 years ago n have showed several people that way
Bought same model and same color new in Monterey CA. Good vehicle. Wish I still had it. Traded it for new Aerostar.Dumb.
Use soft faced hammers tapping seals in and lube the outer edge and the inner lip with a bit of grease so it doesn’t drag and tear on the crank.
