1967 Porsche 911 Video 28 Steering Shaft Overhaul 

Hi Ashley Thanks for the compliment=) Im glad you are able to get something useful from them..sometimes I think they are a bit long and boring but always try to pack as much useful information in them as possible..especially if someone is using them to guide the way so to speak. I think for most of us we just need to see how its done once and we're good to go Will keep them coming until she is finished!

Hi Brett Thanks=) I actually can't stand wearing gloves but deal with it..Especially in the summer time Its good for the project though as it does protect the surfaces and also my dishwasher hands Im wondering how is the summer down under?

Sydney has a sub-tropical climate; we get summer heat similar to you, but also humidity, and very often a thunderstorm in the late afternoon of very hot days. Winter is generally not too cold; an average winter day is fairly sunny with temps somewhere between 15 - the early 20's C.

Sounds hot there too! Soon we should be getting the monsoons coming up from Mexico and that usually cools things down a bit but also brings flash flooding. Im ready for some water though!=)

Hi Andrew Its my pleasure! I will keep them coming=) Thanks for tuning in

Thanks greg!

Thanks Russell They are similar but a bit different in how the mfgr's go about it. Its a really important part of a restoration I think and sometimes over looked. Should steer and feel like new!

Yes I sured did! You are sharp..I did find that piece later Cheers!

@@MikesRestorations amazing work I just watch the dearies a second time!

Thanks=) What a summer we are having! its so hot I can't stand it.. In regards to your painting question..not really recommended in these temperatures Although body shops have to paint regardless they are using retarders and sometimes climate control. problems associated with extreme temps are endless and not worth risking your project 70-80 degree is always best and would give very stable and reliable results Lots of Luck! Stay cool over there=)

Hi Niels Thank you Sometimes my video order depends on conditions an weather issues so might change up a bit if needed Yes I will do a video on the complete steering assembly and its installation on the car. This should be very helpful for you please watch for it! Thank for tuning in and your nice comment!

ok great!

Hi John Thanks=) Good question! The tolerances by The Germans are tight!! I knew I wouldn't be able to get them out myself without proper size drift pins and press. didn't want to risk damaging them. Machine shops have quite a variety of tooling to draw from in these cases..I took them in with a 50/50 chance it could even be done but they did do a nice job=) Pressing them back in is difficult I will say. They are so tight almost don't want to go. What happens is the farther you press them in with the vice the more area the cups are grabbing on the sidewalls and actually pulling the casting inwards and bending it before they slide. The hammer and socket works because of the sharp shock when hit it moves them without pulling on the side walls. I little bit of both gets it done but it is a tough job for sure. If you can get through it successfully the payoff is brand new condition steering shaft with tight action and original look..and at least $800.00 to $900.00 in your pocket. If you try this project Good Luck!!!

Mike M makes sense! Thanks for the detail.

Hello Michele Try unhooking from the steering box connection and then unhook at the upper level near the dash board. Once the retaining nut and boost are sufficiently loosened a large flat screw driver can be used to spread the joint at the splines. It should then be able to move enough to slide out. Good Luck!

Hi Finn I don't have one specifically but do comment thru out the series as details revel themselves. The quality of some of the materials used by Porsche in the early days is quite remarkable.. even better than some of the modern replacement materials. Some of the rubber coming of this car is softer and more supple after 50 years than new replacement genuine parts from Porsche Will be commenting on this on next video coming up

Mike M Thanks. Remarkable talents- and the additional effort to film and narration detail is incredible. Would be interested in your list of top five features of this car. Geometry Handling Styling Fitment Front profile Rear or side profile Other And why this year? Any modifications planned as part of this complete restoration? I assume this permanent Filmed documentation Record benefits any owner. No relation... Thought this guy's talents might prove of interest: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6J74Qkuk1l4.html

Thanks Finn Some excellent suggestions maybe for a wrap up video once the car is on the road..I will say this though about its overall construction. The factory technicians who engineered and built this amazing car were masters. The welding, body forming and fitment leaves me scratching my head as to how they were able to do such things 50 years ago. Absolute masters at what they did. I came across this particular car by chance and worked out a deal with the previous owner. I was interested in it from a purely historical perspective because of its condition..since then have been a solid Porsche enthusiast=) Porsche quality is 2nd to none Also great video link! thanks for sending. There are some amazing talented guys out there doing fantastic things Cheers!
