Been a master tech for years and love your channel. all ways learning something new even at 59. oh crap 60, nope 59. yea 59. anyways I'm getting back into the VW craze. just got a 76 Beatle that I built years ago 30+ been sitting in a field for 28 of those years. cleaned carb fresh gas and she fired rate up and purred. Ok back to subject. cleaning those close threads is a pain, I take the nut and cut a groove with one of those vibrating air sawz allz. they have thin blades that fit in there nice and deep like. usually three groves works great
You're working on the beigeVW bus and I guess the motor design changes when you go to fuel injection just looks absolutely horrible so much for German engineering
Why didn’t you clamp that pipe into the bench vise? Doesn’t that have pipe jaws when you open up the vise? Just wondering.

When your driving a exhaust pipe on get your sacrifice 3/8 th extension with a deep weel socket to not damage the threads

Great stuff. Unrelated but a question…how hard (and overall) how expensive is it to replace the blower fan on a 1987 Type 2? The one under the dash?
Cool watching this!
I think you should have took it to muffler shop and give the guy ten bucks to put it on the pipe expander
