Awesome! Just what I needed for my ’72 Hilux. Exact same problems. 4 wheel
drum too. In the bleeding portion when using a vaccum pump…is there a
possiblity that you’re sucking up air from the bleeder valve? Does that
mean I replace the nut and then do it? What happened was I did get bubbles
and the fluid in the resvervor did go down. After that, I kept getting air
bubbles with no chanch if the level. I checked the nut…it was only turned
a bit.

Beetles are very fun cars to own; i’ve had two in my life, a 68 Euro Bug
(didn’t know till after the car was totaled) and 66 US Bug which i still
have. They are a great way to learn how to work on cars, since they’re so
simple. One thing i will caution though, there’s a spacer inside the
firewall that many people lose because they pull the master cylinder bolts
out. Just have to loosen the bolts and then leave them in the car Great
videos brian, keep it up

@briansmobile1 Do you think you could make a video of the 62 your neighbor
has?

briansmobile1 says:

@therebymorning …. Or you fail. LOL! Thanks

brakedd says:

@briansmobile1 can we expect 2 more vids then? 😛

briansmobile1 says:

@GerryJ08 Touching story. I’m glad it was a positive experience. You’re
welcome! My neighbor is building a white 1962. I helped out a bit with it
today where they got stuck. The beetle is definitely a classic.

briansmobile1 says:

@iworkforbudlight Ahhh thanks!

briansmobile1 says:

@epiphaknee Thank you! It’s a cheap plastic paint brush taped on backwards.

briansmobile1 says:

Thank you very much!

steven chandler says:

Great video as always.

briansmobile1 says:

@brakedd Almost never- this week THREE TIMES!

briansmobile1 says:

@Jx1x3 I wish I had the time and resources to do that kind of editing, but
I’m happy to share what I’m able to share. Thanks!

briansmobile1 says:

@TRcustomengineering Sure.

briansmobile1 says:

@TrueBlueEG8 lol!

briansmobile1 says:

@TRcustomengineering My neighbor is building a 1962 that is MINT. It was in
a barn the last 30 years.

giantj6ft7 says:

I’ve always bled at the wheels, is it nessesary to do the master in v dubs
or is it just good practice?

Richpin is the fucking man

dreamer2355 says:

Thanks for another great video! Keep them rolling!

Luis Valenzuela says:

i like your straw light 😛

DidgiePics says:

Cheers, the last point you made about bleeding brake system, ie rear
passenger first blah blah, is that the same pattern on a right hand drive?

Gerry Jamieson says:

My Big Brother from the Big Brother organization had one of these bugs when
we first hooked up back in the 70’s. He drove it all throughout the U.S.
and back home to Canada . He was killed in the Philippines in 2006. Seeing
one like it again just brings back a flood of great memories. Big thanks
Brian and another good tutorial.

briansmobile1 says:

Saves time and brake fluid.

briansmobile1 says:

@RelicDavvi Bench bleeding the master cylinder helps the process go faster.
Likely the air is taking longer to make the trip out the bleeder. I’ll make
a video on bench bleeding a master cylinder.

Frederick Bock says:

Hey Brian, i just saw that a VW place sells the master cylinder which
eliminates the far away reservoir , with his set-up reservoir is moved thus
takes the place of the lines so it sits on top like a conventional master
cylinder, just though you or owner might like to know

briansmobile1 says:

@LRCVWDude Great tip! These were rusted in-place.

epiphaknee says:

Great video, with great master cylinder bleeding and removal tips! Love the
pointing device, that really shows up well in the video!

brakedd says:

that’s a cool old ride. do you often get to work on older vehicles?

briansmobile1 says:

You’re welcome!

gregmporter says:

Great vid man. Subbed up. Thanks.

Happy Ligmoth says:

thanks man! super helpful

Edmund Mendez says:

Great video, but how is a wobble extension any different from a regular
extension?

briansmobile1 says:

@mtlh05 He is.
