      Just buy one and LIVE the dream. I got my 87 Carrera 25 years ago for under $20k and now it's worth about 80-100k. I still prefer the handling and drivability of my 944 turbo, but not the maintenance (timing belts) so much.. No, I'm not some rich guy that has a lot of money to buy toys. I found good deals on them and I'm a mechanic that can do all the maintenance and repairs myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford them, that is if I had to pay someone for repairs and maintenance.

    Die Kamera Einstellungen, das Licht, der Schnitt und Musik ist aussergewöhnlich. Später noch alles nachvertonen und in Englisch für die gesamte Welt zu erstellen ist Wahnsinn. Porsche kann das als Ausbildungsvideo verwenden. Ich glaube niemand weis wieviel Arbeit dahintersteckt.
    Die eigentliche Mechanikerarbeit, das verwenden der richtigen Teile die Abwägung manches wieder herzurichten oder mit Orginalteilen zu restaurieren ist mehr als professionell!

    A point to mention, for anyone making their lines is that handheld flare tools are either SAE or DIN - which relates to the type of flare that is created. DIN is required for Porsche and other European cars. (SAE for US and Far East). Yes, you know how I learnt this 😅! Colin.

    I've seen a few guys do the brake pipe flaring with power tool rather than a hand cranked socket. They said that the smooth, constant and straight pressure applied to the tip of the flaring tool that does the work by the gun is superior to the possibly wonky winding when done by hand. Not tried this myself though.

    Couple of questions/remarks: a) so would you recommend silicone brake fluid then? b) I think there are better and also cheap bending tools for the brake lines, your lines look a bit "flat" where bent c) the best "hobby" brake bleeding system I used so far was "eezibleed" which uses the tire pressure. Maybe worth a look. Cheers and thanks again for the great vid!

    Great work and video. Have you had any issues with the brake lights not working after bleeding the brake fluid? I did on my 1984 carrera. I had a shop replace the 2 (I think there are 2) brake light switches on the master cylinder and all is now well. I read that loosening the brake light switches and bleeding them could possibly also rectify the non brake light operation issue.

    Yes, nice video's! John here, 83 911. So on the way to storing my car, i lost pressure in brakes. Could i just assume the master cylinder?

    • @GreasyFingers
      @GreasyFingers  2 года назад +1

      If it lost pressure it means that at some point brake fluid has escaped the system.
      Could be anywhere, but traces of the brake fluid will mark the spot where it happened.

    Hi Greasy, love your work, wit, and wisdom. I have an '84 Cab and was wondering if I could ask you some questions about the ongoing cleanup? Can I call you, text, email, visit? Heck, I'm only in Chicago, but I was in Denmark as my son played pro volleyball in there.

    Watching your videos is so relaxing...makes me wonder why in my case, doing the same jobs you are doing, is sometimes so stressful...Indeed you could work on my car anytime as well...
    Is it too much asked if you could list the brands of the material you are using ? I would just buy the same stuff you have, to bend the line, to pressurize the system; etc......why would I search the internet for hours and then buy the wrong stuff, if I see that you are using it successfully ? you can make publicity if you are happy with the tools you use...perfectly happy with that...

    I was shown to leave just detectable play in these wheel bearing types with the wheel on, top and bottom, just the barest rock detectable. Too tight and the bearings fail prematurely. I haven’t seen them ‘preloaded’ before. 🤷

    • @GreasyFingers
      @GreasyFingers  2 года назад +1

      Agreed. The weight of the car removes the final bit of play.
      I didn’t preload them really, but removed all play and then went back 1/16 turn.

    • @jamest5149
      @jamest5149 2 года назад

      @@GreasyFingers perfect, it’s a bit of a learnt art to slightly over tighten then back off, takes a couple of ‘rocks’ back and forth to settle the bearings and then get the free play right. Too tight and the roller bearings skid on the races, too loose and they can knock and cause hammering damage to the races. Hopefully you don’t mind the comments, they are as much for your viewers as you and don’t wish to teach you to suck eggs… you obviously have a lot of skill and time served 👍

    The play is determined by putting the tire on the wheel and rocking it from an up and down motion, Then after the car has been driven repeat the same procedure, cretin.
