On this channel you will find a variety of build videos and VW videos. I emphasize on building more while spending less. I love using recycled and upcycled items -- one mans junk right? You might also find general tomfoolery and nonsense sprinkled in. Subscribe to follow along
Im assuming this will work for my double ended studs as well? My dad has a drag car and he cant work on it anymore so ive been goong at it. A couple of the studs came out when i tried to get off the lug nuts but the ones that stayed i cant seem to get out. Hoping this works trying it tomorrow
@@handbuiltbob these are double sided wheel studs. Threading on both ends with a piece in the center that's just metal. Having so much trouble getting off the old studs. I got my nuts earlier though gonna see if this will work for me. I just need them to twist out because they are threaded
@@handbuiltbobthanks the only thing I’m worried about is the atf eating away at my finish. I just had it sandblasted and primed. So now I’m dropping her off for fresh paint at my buddy’s auto body shop. How long do you think I should let the paint cure before I add some atf in there? Thanks
You can use grease if you’re painting, ATF may affect paint finish. But the paint may protect it overall. Just grease the moving parts and you should be good to go
Damm. Thak you so much. I could find any Portuguese (i am Brazilian) video teaching on how to do it. I have been trying myself to do it for the past days and it wasn't working. Now i know how to do it properly
That's interesting... In the mk4 VWs ('99-'05), they actually use an almost identical clip design to hang a relay box on the firewall. Didn't think the design dated back that far!
Wowwwww very nice trail how many buses are there when i was little in 1988 or 1990 all my family when to Yosemite parck and the park ranger send us to a spot for camping some leaf a vw bus there a 21 windows it was white with red i think some broke some of the windows.
We’ve had a lot of rain lately, would put the buses under some strain now. There is a lot more ruts in the road than there was in this video. That’s a cool story about the bus I hope someone saved it 😁
I thought I was a genius for cutting my tire on both sides of its side plane and inserting it on the underside of both my tires because when you cut the inner tube in half on both sides you get 2 half sided sleeves. I thought that was the best idea EVER! Then watching this made me realize I just doubled the work of how simplistic this solution really was. Haha! I mean, it still worked, but this is the better solution. Thank you!
Yes if you find leaks in the front near the front coupler it’s likely a nose cone bushing seal. If it’s coming from the rear near the flywheel it could be input shaft leak or rear main seal depending on the type of fluid and the amount. Transmission usually leak a little at a time unless its a torn axle boot. Best of luck
I’ve been doing this to all my bikes for over 2 decades. As soon as I get the first flat. Usually on the first few rides. I get a new tube and apply this technique. To the nay sayers… It really does work. I’ve had maybe 3 flats total on all the bikes post liner. Here is the science: Fill a balloon barely and another fully. Now try popping both. The barely inflated balloon is harder to pop. That’s because the rubber is not already stressed. The split liner is not stressed so is much harder to pierce. I don’t think plastic straps would be as effective since they don’t stretch. Try poking a drywall screw through a deflated inner tube vs a plastic strap and you’ll see what I mean.
Excellent. When I first saw your cart it reminded me of a grocery cart base and wheels, obviously converted. In a small shop, having everything on the cart frees up wall space as well.
@@handbuiltbob Oh no, I have tried a lot of them and they all seem to turn out the same way. But I guess a torn glove still provides some protection from having to scrub your hands for 30 mins after a job. Let me know if you ever find a glove that does not split.
I've followed your tip like back in 2020 and the only time i got a flat was when I accidentally slammed my rim against some rocks and when I used gravelking semi slick tires (super thin tires, i dont recommend them). Last year I added some WTB sealant to my tubes, chose WTB since they don't dry up and clog the valves. No punctures so far.
You can check eBay, they don’t supply them with the tool any longer. And the harbor freight grinder is worse quality than it used to be. I would suggest trying another tool manufacturer
