Wow, buying a parts car for restoration; admirable to say the least. And you do something NOBODY else does: you don’t make everything look unrealistically easy. We can see the actual work, mistakes, struggles, and all. Outstanding. Thanks so much. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the feedback and the kind words! I appreciate it 👍
Cool to see Ruby will continue her life on the web. Was anyone else looking for the mattress in the background at the old shed??
I totally forgot about that 😂
@@Involvod we haven't! Lol
We were both shouting at the telly..... Get in there you little h bar 😂 great video, will be nice to see Ruby living on!
Haha 😄 It really will, she's getting very well looked after!
My favourite Volvo channel. -I love Volvos, got two of them myself: -A V40-2002 non turbo petrol and a V70 D5 diesel-2008.
Thanks! This video isn't performing as good as usual so this comment comes at a good time 👍😄 We were thinking about a V40 for Miss Involvo'd to get her started driving 🙂
@@Involvod I've had my V40 for seven years now and I've been driving it mostly on very long trips.
No problems apart from the usual stuff; timing belt, brake pads etc.
These cars have a variable timing sprocket that tends to go bad due to sloppy oil change intervals or just age as mine did when I bought it. Engine sounds like a diesel when ticking over when that happens, but people have been driving around for years with a faulty sprocket without problems.
@@eriktorp-olsen1706 thanks for the info! Volvos do like to keep going don't they 😄
So lovely to see Ruby again! And what a nice T-Shirt!
Thanks! Available shortly 👀
Over the years I have not had to deal with any parking brake related issues (thankfully). Thanks for the informative video.
Nice! Fingers crossed it stays that way 😃
Awesome stuff! I'm impressed by how often you upload! Keep it up!
Thanks, it's definitely alot of work but I enjoy sharing it all with you guys 😃 Thanks for watching!
When my 740 needed new handbrake shoes, I got my local garage to do the job; I really hate working on drum brakes.
I don't blame you, I feel the same! Always a dreaded job 😅 But I did find the 700/900 a bit easier than the 200, seems to be a bit more space around around the hub
Hello bro, thanks for the classic footage and the ruby update, safe travels and enjoy ur week!
Thanks buddy, you too!
Ruby was my fav as she was in the first video of yours that I watched. Great to see that all your hard work is going to continue Sledge.
That's why I did this video as I know a few people subbed for that car! Hopefully Christoph keeps the videos rolling. Thanks 🙂
Great to see some footage of Ruby again!
I plan to change the parking brake shoes on my 1985 once I get it out of storage so this is definitely a helpful video.
I'd ask is for sale... But I know I'm already too late 😂
Thanks man, hopefully it helps, a friend actually sent me a link to the spring tool I mentioned, didn't realise they were like 3 bucks so I'll definitely try that next time especially when dealing with new springs. Can't wait to see more content on yours! 🤘
Great to see the baton of Ruby passed on and her RUclips life continue.
Thanks mate 😃
Oh the joys of drums inside discs 😄 most Volvos I’ve owned has had them and they’re always a pain, even in good condition the handbrake on the V70 is as much use as a fart in a wetsuit 🤣 At least you didn’t hook your peepers on them and then pretend you didn’t see that… great video dude.
Thanks man! Always a dreaded job 😅
Patience of a saint :D
😅
Great video Mate! I have spent a lot of time figuring out brakes on my car last summer ;D. Also the hand brake mechanism was so rusted that it took me some time to make it work. Of cource I have grinded off the bars too much and couldn't adjust it properly ;D. Eventually I went with the adjusters and that works great :)
It takes some time doesn't it. The adjusters are so great, I normally fit those now it just makes so much more sense!
Nice update. Often mis a third hand too. 😉 got my own techniques for attaching the brake springs too. 😀
Thanks! I was surprised how much trickier it was with new springs compared to old
Thank you - great vid. Doing this right now. Had no issues with the right side, plenty of jip on the left
Actually, one last question. In the vid you say you have to hook one side of the shoe brake into the notch of the spreader. As there's also a notch on the other side of the spreader, do you hook into that as well with the other side of the break?
Isn*t this,where you sent other red wagon went to save Ruby that is getting all restored☝🏽👍👆
Sadly not, the other one is in Poland somewhere, probably back on the road 😂😅
Nice one just noticed you channels massive now mate 👍 👏
Cheers Lee!
The most horrible fix on a car there is. I'd rather do anything else but rear brake shoes. It's how i almost lost my eye sight, was prying on the spring and the needle nose pliers slipped and went thru my eye lid and hit my eye. No damage but had a headache for 3 days.
Ouch, glad it wasn't long term serious, and thanks for the heads up! Working on cars is so dangerous sometimes
Was there much fiddling about to get it right. Like fine tuning adjustments? I've got new cables and shoes and left it to a garage and they installed them but handbreak is still completely ineffective.
Not sure how those handbrake shoes would fit a Amazon since they have drum brakes in the rear
Hmm good point, would be a small drum 🤔
@@Involvod yeah, hopefully that many didn't buy those for them and find out they are half the size of the regular ones
Im the 240th like😄
Noice 😃
