What light did you guys use under the car? It was nice and bright!
Hey Gary ! that was easy
1964 VW owners manual states " leave weight on the wheels, apply sealant to the seam, install with seam at 90 degrees facing the rear with the screw heads on the bottom for ease of install. Check boots at every oil change.
Great video Gary. You make things look easy to easy. Spot is coming along. Way to sell merch Jake. You guys must've drone this during the freez. Thanks for all the tips on maintenance.
A better way to do the silicone sealant, if you use it at all, is to put it on the inner lip of the boot itself, and then let it dry for 24 hours. Then when you clamp it on the axle tube flange, and axle tube, it will stay in place on the boot, and compress against the surface of the axle tube flange and axle tube, and create a good seal. When you remove it, it will come off with the boot afterwards. A better seal, and easier clean up if you have to replace or remove the boots again. Nice job, and the angle is a great tip. I wish I had known about the angle for the seam before I replaced my transaxle and boots in my '64 but way back in '84.
That's definitely, definitely, definitely, 2 o'clock 😉
Love all the videos, maybe some on the Scirocco, or the Fahrenheit in the garage
Thanks that was very helpful. Those boots make that doable for sure please keep doing the “ how to” videos So glad Jake has joined the profession
I always feel like no matter how well I get these to fit they're going to leak lol. I attempted to fit the solid one piece boots once, couldn't fit them over the axel lol.
So Spot got a rebuilt transaxle? Febis are my favorite too. And careful not to overtighten the worm gear clamps, those can cut through the boot if over tightened. And your orientation instructions with the seams facing forward at 10 and 2 are right on. I also try to push the boots in against the transaxle as much as possible while installing being that the axles will be hanging down lower later. That way you try to eliminate as much stress from the boot as possible.
