In this video Sam gets the rear brakes back in order, which went easier on one side than the other. Once he got the brakes bled, without an assistant thanks to some Speed Bleeders (or quick bleeder) brake bleeder valves, he discovered that a stock German master cylinder wasn't going to cut it with the new front disc brakes. So after swapping the stock master cylinder out for a large bore unit, our 1967 Beetle now has brakes. Sam was hoping that by finally getting the rear brakes working, and the brakes bled that he could finally take our 1967 Sunroof Beetle out for a drive. However, once he finally sat down and pressed the clutch pedal, the reason that this car originally got parked for (possibly) revealed itself. The clutch cable tube bracing inside the tunnel has broken free. This means that regardless of how tight the clutch cable is (Sam noted that the original adjustment nut was tightened all the way when he removed it) the clutch can not disengage. So...add that to the list of things to do before we can finally take this Beetle for a drive!

I liked the demo on the quick bleeders. Looks like they do the trick. Thanks! Saw the teaser for the floor pans. Can't wait!

Thanks Sam another great video plus lots of issues just brings up technical solutions. So we all are learning to deal with issues so thanks to your expertise i am learning lots of information so thank you!!

As time goes by. More cars will need to have the clutch tube welded back on. The factory weld lasted for over fifty years.

You had me cringing when the bug started to shake and the bar started to bend.... Yikes good thing all went well 👍🇩🇪

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I was praying I wasn't going to have to cut off the axle nut! Have a good time at Westgate tomorrow, I don't know what we've got going on tomorrow but we'll try to make it down.

Sam you do some very nice work.. I'm waiting on an inheritance and then I want to have a hi end vw build done.. I've been out of the VW scene for many years.. Having your knowledge of VW's, who would you recommend to build such a vw.. I'm not looking for a bone stock restoration.. Thx for any recommendations.. Take care Sam and God Bless you and your family...

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for the kind words. My good friend Jimmy Braxmeyer in Vista, CA is the only place I have a personal relationship with and can recommend highly. His website is vintagevwrestoration.com

@danielneuenschwander7381 9 месяцев назад

Sam, great video on the brakes. Just curious as to why you removed the front disc brake calipers to bleed? I thought with the special bleeder valve they would prevent air from getting back into the caliper/cylinder upon the reverse stroke of the brake pedal. But, I know there's a good reason to do that, and you'll have the answer for this old man! LOL

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

It's all explained at the 14:30 mark, the bleeder valve is below the brake hose. Air rises so the valve needs to be above the hose during bleeding.

Get rid of the Ryobi tools and get some good brand 3/4" impact wrenches, Milwakee comes to mind. I was going to order a helper tool, but I think I rather have one made with a solid bar.

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

I've never had an issue with Ryobi tools going back to when they were blue and yellow, besides, they are owned by the same company anyway.

@hectorzapata4295 9 месяцев назад

Wll, I can tell you their customer service is crap, they don't make a 3/4'' impact tool, the tools lack power compared to others (plenty of channels comparing them to others). I've had plenty of issues with their tools and I'm using them for DIY projects, not for hard jobs like you do. Just an opinion, of course, that axle nut would've come off with a good impact tool quickly. @@Sam_Mebane

@fromthebeginningofvankind28 9 месяцев назад

What is the tool you used to stop the hub from spinning called and where does one get said tool? or is it a "home made " tool? I have a 66 sea blue beetle and I so could have used one the last time i did brakes. another? i have is . Should all the bleeder valves be the same size all the way around? my rears were a different size making bleeding them a pain in the A! thanks for Ive really enjoyed this series keep on wrenchin!

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

The tool is premade, although it could use some additional strength as I demonstrated - www.jbugs.com/product/5750.html I've seen bleeder valves that require different sized wrenches, it isn't uncommon. Typically, a VW with drum brakes will have the same valves all around.

@SimiNelsonFamily 9 месяцев назад

Just wondering if the brake bleeder screws allow air back into the brake cylinders past the threads? I’ve often had brake fluid seeping out through the threads while bleeding.

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

No, they do not. They have thread sealant so there isn’t an issue with air bleeding past the threads. I’ve used these on my 1971 we did in our last build series, and again on this car and there is simply no better way to bleed brakes in my opinion.

@maxdecker7246 9 месяцев назад

I had a lot of trouble getting all of the air out of my new master cylinder. I was told that the brake cylinder should be bench bled before installing. I haven’t seen a good video of this procedure. Maybe you could explain if it is necessary or not. Also, if so how do you do it?

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

I have never in the 30+ years I've been working on VWs ever bench bled a master cylinders. It is not necessary. I would recommend installing speed/quick bleeders at all 4 brakes and give it another go.

@themaniam3650 4 месяца назад

Are those speed bleeders 6mm x 1.00? I only see 7mm and 8mm 10mm on jbugs website. Where did you purchase yours from?

@Sam_Mebane 4 месяца назад

I actually called Speed Bleeder and set up an account because we did not have them available prior to this series. We carry typically carry them in stock - www.jbugs.com/speed-bleeder-quick-brake-bleed-screws-6x10mm-pair.html - we expect them to be back in stock this week.

@SanDiego_VDubLife 9 месяцев назад

Great tips sir. I have two bleeder valves on my disc brakes in front and the brake line comes in between them. Do I need to move the caliper like you did? Also I have a broken bracket on my clutch cable tube as well, luckily mine in accessible under the bus. I guess I will have to learn how to weld sooner than I thought.

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

Bleed the one on top, above the brake hose.

@nathanielarndt3660 9 месяцев назад

where do i get the tool you used to break the nut loose and what's it called?

@Sam_Mebane 9 месяцев назад

Well, that depends as on the left side I used a couple of different tools! The one that usually does the trick is the Torque Multiplier - www.jbugs.com/product/16-9602.html
