Hang with me while I restore a rare Porsche 914 LE ”Bumblebee” in my home garage. In episode 15, I replace the trailing arm pivots and wheel bearings. And while the parts are at the powder coater, I finally get to install the dash (restored in episode 4), route the harness and install the switches. The car is really coming along…and so are the episodes. Please subscribe now so you know when they go live!
Remember, I'm just an amateur wrencher and I made this video to show you how I did this project. No video can replace the experience of a professional. Please don't attempt this if you're not experienced. Thanks and be safe!

Finished the trans axel rebuild. Now it’s time for a press and I also need to figure out how to remove the axel part out of the arm. I think you had a clip of that. Looking now! Thanks Ian😊

That's a cool tool for the escutcheon! I have used needle-nose pliers held partway open, which is awkward but mostly works. It's easy to slip and scratch up the escutcheon, but fortunately it's mostly hidden behind the knob.

Hi Ian!! Love all videos. The car is looking great!!! I live in Puerto Rico and very hard to find a good 914 here. I had a 72 when I was in High school (long time a go) and I sold it. I was a little ignorant at that time. But I learn a LOT with your videos!! Keep going and be safe!!

I wish I seen this video before summer. I spent 5 days of hard labour chipping away with a pick and a propane torch.

Great video. Looks like some extra effort in production and editing: either way, looks good.

Thank you Ian for doing these videos I'm in on the Patron account. Perhaps we should do a conference call on it on a subject your Patrons want to talk about?
