There should only be a total of two flexi brake hoses at the rear, not three. Both rear flexi hoses connect to a hard line going to the brass union. Won't cause any harm leaving it as is though.
That was one of the best how-to videos on brakes, seals and bearings I've ever seen and I watch a TON of these videos! It's going in my how-to library for sure. Thank you!
Excellent video CT :) on Brake resivor jug new one on copper line before put rubber on did have flare then put clamp ring so won't leak and with black steel line flare too plus clamp ring too ! You can check and make sure didn't need to or should be ! Just so won't leak that why ask you said instructions or heard should be !
That leftover line you have is for the brass T to the drivers rear - it shouldn't have two consecutive rubber hoses. Noticed that car has a 65 only horn button, and there is no way a ball joint beam will physically fit on a kingpin chassis ( unless they changed the frame head). I say that it's a 66.
Great video ct! If that reservoir doesn’t have a flared end you should flare it or at least clamp on the rubber so you don’t have fluid leaking I also believe you are supposed to slide the master cylinder rubber onto the line all the way down to the end then press it in but the way you done it might work great work look forward to seeing it drive down the road
Hi! This seems to be a start of another VW Beetle project! But I really would like to know what has become of the Beetle buildup project of last year! If everything had gone well, it should be finished by now. All the best!
Always replace everything that can kill you if it doesn’t work. Brakes and steering. If you incorrectly rewired your radio or your heater core you’re probably OK.
@@bava67 I go to like 930 and 230 and they dont leak. get that seam laid over about as far as you can to 90 but not quite. to keep that seam from making the bottom stretch.
The beetle is a 65/66 model. The 1964 was the last of the "T" handle on the decklid, King Pins, upright quarter glass and also the smaller windows. Your beam looks right for the year (Link as opposed to King Pin) but the securing nuts may have been replaced with a allen key nut from a later model. Common modification and actually better in my view! Great build, keep up the good work!
@@bava67 absolutely and my mistake (brain switched off!). The car also has a wheel from a '67 1500cc beetle as well, replacement as a result of the accident?
Only mistake I noticed was drivers side back brake hose install at around 23 min. You have 2 soft lines installed. It should be hard line from t-junction to brake hose holder and not second flex line. From holder in frame to to second holder in axle tube soft line and from there to wheel cylinder hard line again, like in passenger side. Also think that the car is not -64. 64 should have still smaller windows/thicker window posts. I think it's -66. This can be verified from VIN. if it's -64 it starts with 9 and is shorter than after -65. In 1965 VIN changed, then it will start with 115... third number indicates year model. 116 would be -66, 117 -67 and so on.
@@CTmoog Nice. The ball joint front beam came in 1966. So someone has changed the frame head. Because the torsion tubes are in different positions in King Pin axle and ball joint axle. They cannot be swiched unless you replace the the frame head.
I don't have a torque wrench, but I've got an Ugga Dugga. Lol! @CT you need to look into using Evaporust for those parts you wan to reuse. Super cheap game changer.
Missed the step of cleaning the backing plate! before transferring parts...Also the best parts in these kind of videos are cleaning the rust and bleeding brakes...make sure you have that in the upcoming videos defenitely gonna crack the views for sure!...we missed it in this video boss!
Thank you! =) The front bearings get packed with grease. The rear bearings get gear oil from the transmission. It travels down the axle and lubes the rear wheel bearings. I put a small amount of oil on them when I was reassembling so they have a little bit the get started. When I fill the transmission with gear oil to the correct level it will travel down the axle tubes to the bearings.
great video CT but FFS champ put some stands under the car.....i was grimacing every time you were working on the car....just looking out for ya....all the best from Sydney Oz 🍻🍻🍻

Dear CT, are you sure that it is the correct front axle? As you said it I wrote it... Isn't the frame head different before and after 1966? Maybe a bit too personally, but what ist the chassisnumber of this "64"? Maybe they changed the frame after an accident or because of rust.... Best regards from Good Old Germany
the reservoir line needs to have specific 5mm Brake hose or it will leak all the fluid out. They charge by the inch and it is not cheap. It is Blue or Green. with cloth on it.
Wait you are doing it wrong. You are supposed to take the whole car apart and then find another car and take that one apart and let them both sit while you start on another one 😂
The spindle nut is correct for the 64-65 year car does it have kingpins or ball joints holding the front wheel spindles on up to 66 it should be kingpins and after 67 ball joints

Hi CT, wonderful video. The old VW brakes are quite the design compared to disc brakes. Good thing you can still get the rebuild kits for these.
Looking forward to seeing any videos from this channel
Thanks man!

Great job fitting all the brake lines. Looking forward to seeing more.
I love these longer videos and I have learned so so much!! Many thanks CT!
Awesome! Thank you! =)

Good job CT 💪
Really a step up in filming and visual complexity…..that means I say it’s good!
Thanks man! I appreciate that. I really enjoy the filming and editing process.
Those boot seams should be just above 90 degrees of center. where you have them they will not last. almost all the way to 90.
oh yes....I need to go back the other way. I'll fix them this week. Thanks Mike! =)

Great job! I can't wait to see that bug on the road again.

Lovely but I would have cleaned the floor and re sprayed it before fitting all the pipe work ! 😊
Maybe I will pull it back out and do that. Good idea! =)

Great video CT 😉 - did you fit grommets where the brake lines went through the body work ?
Thanks buddy! Yes I put them on. I have to make a few adjustments but we are real close. 👍
Where is the progress on the '65? Do you think this is a better car??
The 65 beetle "Georgia" still needs some work. I'll be back on it soon. Stay tuned! both great cars!
Always put those boots on with the joint at 3pm or 9pm Mate.
.... not the time - the positions. :)

As a certified auto mechanic of 45 years it's scary to see you doing brake work as well as electrical work.
Just about anyone who has an old bug does their own work. Pretty simple stuff. Brakes anyway.
why??
U putting new shocks on?

You should have painted the backing plate.
Wonder what the cruise speed was for a brand new one back in the day?
I've heard they can get up to 80 mph
😊
You didn’t put grease on the back ball bearings, is that how it goes?
What service manual are you using? I need that one, very detailed.
google - " vw workshop manual " it's a good one
I was not aware a ball joint beam would fit a link pin car.
Could you show the title of the book you are using during the reconstruction? or where did you buy it?
Yes, I will show it in the next video. Thank you! =)

Thank you! =)
What happened to the 914?
What book is that you got for your VWs?

@@CTmoog is there a plastic vent on top of the dash, in the middle. That would make it a 66 for sure
