Great video and I'm the guy who installed it without the spacers, over tighten it and probably ruined the master cylinder and tomorrow I'm going to be replacing it again with the spacers 😅, probably just going to Ace hardware to by something to use 👍

@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 Год назад

Excellent explanation about the brake pedal and how to adjust it. A lot off owners will check this after your video, but this is how it has to be. Well done my friend.

Thank you so much my friend I appreciate that.

I am having the exact same problem. Brakes building pressure, changed the master cylinder a few years ago but haven't drove the car much till recently. I have no free play that is for sure. I remember removing the brake pedal assembly, so I'm supposed to start by adjusting that first? And then if that doesn't correct it, adjust the pushrod? Thanks for the videos. Great help.

@stewardtryancornelissen1070 Год назад

Good day. My brakes still build up pressure and will seize after driving in traffic. I then have to bleed again. What do you think might be the reason. I know its vague. Thanks for you good videos.

@stableboynmilkmaid 2 месяца назад

OK got another question! I was told it is not good for the transmission to be towed LONG distance with the two bar designed for VW's... it can damage a manual transmission even in neutral. Do you believe this to be true?

@styverdyver Год назад

Timely video. I rebuilt the pedal assembly (using your videos) on my 73 beetle. I removed the pedal stop to repaint etc., and now the clutch pedal has too much play but the brakes seem to be working fine. I want to adjust the pedal stop to remove the clutch pedal play. By adjusting the stop; will it change the brake rod and/or brake pedal play? I did not modify the brake rod in any way during the rebuild.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

When you adjust the pedal stop on the floor, it truly may move your brake pedal and cause you to have to adjust the rod.

@stevenphillips6019 7 месяцев назад

I am hopefully in the final stages of going from a new style pedal system to the old ones.. I was havng the same self-braking issue.. there was no way that I could get the freeplay with the new pedals

@Oxfurd Год назад

😶‍🌫 Is the Bigfoot a kit or a full pedal assembly ? 6'4 , gonna need that for sure. PS. AMAZING video this is yet another vid needed for sure.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Thank you so much! I did get the big footpedal extender. I believe that, with a roller gas pedal makes a huge difference for guys like us.

No more live shows? Also, the interior brake button shows you if there’s an issue with your brakes. Think of it as having a master and a slave setup. The front and rear brakes work independently. If that light doesn’t light up when pressed, or lights up while your driving, your font or rear brakes have an issue. It’s called a ‘press to test’ button. It’s in the owners manual.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Tonight at 8pm eastern! I put it on the community tab here. See you soon!

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Absolutely!! I may put the three prong switches in, to still work that light. Any light on a dash I always call an idiot light lol

@internetkilledthevideostar Год назад

@@SladesVWBeetle that’s all it is. VW had it right though. If it’s failing, and lights up, at least you have your front or rear brakes still. If you push it, before you start it, and it doesn’t light up, you know you have a problem before heading out. Old aircraft, like the B-52 had/have this neat feature. Let’s you know if the master or slave system is f’ed up.

If it is tight u cannot bleed the brakes.

@mikejohnson5703 Год назад

I know this old , but what size is the adjusting nut on the pushrod? I've replaced my master cylinder and have alot of slop.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

I believe the adjusting that is 13 mm. But I’m not near my garage right now

@MrBill3288 Год назад

Where do you get your master cylinder from? I have a dune buggy kit car. Maybe 66'. Not sure. Needs a new master. Been in storage for about 20 years.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

I actually bought a German one from Wolfsburg west. I really like them a lot

@tameratmekonnen1192 Год назад

Mine stile sliping after I changed to dual master. I used original vw master cylinder which have oneway valve on it. I took them out and stile the same. Why is that?

@jemcnair76 Год назад

I had the opposite problem. My master cylinder seals were shot, and I ordered a new master. I have a 1973 Super, and it turns out the 1973 had two different masters depending on the month of manufacture. The brake line clocking is different... so the fix was to put the new internals in the old master... which worked out fine. But in those days the parts people didn't know about the mid-year changes in the 1973. They were struts, master cylinder, and a bunch of other little stuff I can't remember right now. Beware the 1973 Super.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

I had a 73 Super on my first RU-vid round. I did notice there’s some definite differences from early and late

@jemcnair76 Год назад

@@SladesVWBeetle Yup. The early struts weren't the right diameter (smaller) for the strut tubes, the master clocking for the early units was way wrong, and I seem to remember the rubber brake lines in the front were too short as well. You have to give the parts people the VIN, or the assembly date in the door.

WITH A BIG PUDDLE OF BREAK FLUID ON THE FLOOR, DO YOU THINK IT'S JUST AN ADJUSTMENT?

@SladesVWBeetle 2 месяца назад

@@stableboynmilkmaid no, I don’t believe that would be an adjustment. You definitely have a leak somewhere. I would clean up the area with brake clean very nicely and dry it. Top off the fluid and have somebody push the pedal very slowly while you look for the leak. Wear safety, glasses, and gloves. And keep your face back while looking for the leak.

@dunebuggy1286 Год назад

Good stuff. Ok, I watched the whole thing. I didn't see any mention of greasing the end of the brake shaft end that's in the master cylinder. Is this necessary? Thanks for the great videos. Very informative.

@jeffbannon1345 Год назад

Slade, once again a great video. I may be “one of those people”!! Given the brake pedal stop needs to be adjusted first before the rod, do you have any tips on determining the correct position of the pedal stop?

@russelltatro2835 Год назад

I was wondering the same thing.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Technically you just want it to sit straight up, I really don’t know if that makes sense. If you look from the side view, you would want where your foot presses the brake pad, to be straight up and down even. I don’t know how to explain it on here lol

@@stableboynmilkmaid I would actually spray some brake, clean all around there and dry everything off really good especially if you have an air compressor. Then top off your brake fluid. Have somebody hop in the car and press the pedal slowly while you’re watching. You will find it very quickly, my friend.
