Beautiful job Bryan. The jack of all trades. Your incredible Bryan. You don't seem to be intimidated by any project. My hats off to you sir. Thanks for taking your time in showing the majority of us that we might be able to do this, but for most people probably not. That's why we pay these exorbitant sky rocketing prices. In today's world you can barely afford to buy or maintain things unless you have some ability to repair things yourself. Have a great day! Cheers!! Illinois
Frame size has nothing to do with shaft size
This.video.was.awful. I don't know what you did
You've taken meticulous care of that bike. That engine is spotless inside.
Thank you for your video Bryan, it helped me disassemble my Husky air compressor. II had a leak in the hose from the tank to the manifold. The hose had a hole, so I fixed it with metal tape and Gorilla tape on top with a hose clamp over the area with the hole. Worked perfect! Easier than taking the hose off, and I think it will hold for what I use it for. Thanks again!
Glad it helped. I figured that there are at least soem people out there with one of these that dont want to throw it out. Thanks for watching!
Copper rods or any rods works?
Any metal rod should work A steel coat hanger will work if you can get it straight enough.
Someone to help you would have been nice.
I can get soem help when needed. I know a lot of people do this by themselves so I show it that way ehn I can. Thanks for watching!
🙋♂️
Nice video, don't own one of those, but had a couple of Beetle's, that were surprisingly good cars if not rusted too bad where heater ducts are. 👍✌️
Thanks for the video man. My car recently started leaking from the bottom ports on the flange. What really happened = was cruising down the highway at 60-75 km/h and a stone hit the first car then hit my car and went under. Ever since, the coolant reservoir/bottle has been found leaking from the top rubber pipe on the reservoir. Doesn’t seem cracked though, neither do the flanges on the side of the engine (same flange in the video) but it seems it’s leaking on the reservoir as well as both the bottom pipes on the flange. From both the in and out on the flange and leaking onto the transmission or the mounting point of the transmission + engine. I’m guessing some pressure build up that’s forcing water out. But I top up every few days, and keep driving it slow. After the stone had hit prior to all these faults, the damage was the front (mainly the AC condenser, Intercooler and maybe radiator) - can a broken radiator cause this? But radiator don’t seem to be leaking. Maybe the compression of the radiator upon impact forced liquid out and now there’s a passage? Or maybe some seal broke? Don’t know. Still prepping myself to send it in for a check up.
This is pretty much just like a 356 head right? I am about to do this to my heads and like the valve compressor tool you made with the big clamp. I did this to a vw head but when i tried to compress the springs on the 356 head it seemed harder than the vw spring. Are they tighter or was i doing something wrong? I was using the first tool you showed on the valves in the middle and they felt so tight. I even tried using the larger valve spring compressing tool that looks like a little swing set without the swings lol but with a lever, and they were still hard to compress.
It should be the same as a 356 head. I would think that the valve springs would definatley be stiffer than on a beetle.
@@bryansprojects3570 thanks!!
I'm curious about the little raised ridge area on the side of the crankshaft of your engine (you can see it at 9:34). I have a very similar model of pressure washer (020344) and the crankshaft doesn't have the little raised ridge coming out of the side of it, instead, there's a little groove there. So I'm not getting much pressure at all… But when I look up that crankshaft part online, it looks like there's a groove, not a raised ridge. So I'm not sure if there's a little metal piece that supposed to sit in the groove that's missing, or if I'm missing something else? Hope that's understandable. Anyone have any ideas?
Sorry I have no idea on this one.
How did you get to the connectors?
I think I took the part loose and then unhooked the connectors. This was my first video ever.
Good on ya for having that.. I’ve spent half a day driving to auto stores to find someone with a similar tool. Not to mention, how do you remove the plastic harness release after snapping it
is it the same thing as A Chevy Traverse Lt AWD my car has nothing at all no crank no start at all i have been watching videos saying it is my starter.
It should be pretty similar.
Great video👍
Very nice work Bryan from Alliance Alberta Canada
If you pulled that thing I guess I can stop worrying about possibly purchasing a 21-foot TT. I was going to be safe and go with the 18' version. What was the total weight of that trailer you were pulling?
I think the trailer was around 4500 lbs. It pulled and stopped great.
@@bryansprojects3570 what was the length? it looks a lot more than 4500 lbs
@yourgooglemeister6745 it was like 32 feet or so. It was considered a lightweight model. It may have weighed more than that but the Toaureg didn't really care.
funnels are a thing
Throw bearing on wrong
That motor looks ready for a refresh.
You forgot to add locktite. Also replace the rear ones.
That's not always easy...sway bar in the way
forgot about the base o washer thanks again
I may not have shown them in this shot but I didi get them in there.
May God Bless you. Thank you Sir.
Think I’m going to have to do that. I have a 60’ Chevy Apache . Just switched the ignition like you, but now it’s not starting . It also stays on so I have to disconnect the battery every time I drive it
I ended up replacing the starter eventually also.
Where did you get the part? Can fucking find it anywhere
I got it at a local parts store. I can't remember which one.
Hi Bryan, like the channel. I need to do the exact repair. I was wondering why you didn't use the pocket screw jig on the first brace too, rather the notching?
I wanted to give it a little extra support and keep it straight.
Hey man thanks for the inspiration! I have zero experience with carpentry/construction I’m 22 and bought my first house and the garage walls are pretty rotted, gonna give it a go!
How do you take paint off a car
The best way is probably to sand it.
Thanks Bryan for your time. Cheers!! Illinois
Like we all have a machine shop in our garage to do that. Cmon.
I will be doing some of this really soon on the house my wife inherited.
11:38 I thought that valve was at the oil filler
Really should have checked valve lash also before fine tuning the carb and running conditions and timing, valve lash changes timing but great video ❤
I always put a block off for fuel pump and run a 12v electric fuel pump
Great video ❤
Thanks for doing this, appreciate it! I've been having similar issues and now I'm going to check this!
I don’t “hate on this”. But lost 4 fingers due to table saw having no cover. Just the. Sound of the table saw causes some anxiety. When I trained on that machine I was told there were no covers for the blade🫢. Three fingers replaced but now I am much more conscious of what I use
Thanks mister Bryan i had the exact problem and you helped me 🙏🏼god bless you
This is one of the best videos I've watched on the subject. I'm about to go out and attempt to get the water pump off. Thanks very much for the help.
Brillant! What's the name of the ODB app and dongle?
nvmd...found it
Brilliant! Worked like a champ. Thank you!
Good job Bryan! I'll be waiting for your next video. Have a great day! Cheers!! Illinois
Yes, good addition: when you unplug the filler adaptor, with the engine running, in D, you let the oil drip out as much as it will. Only then you reinstall the plug.
The other half brace does come out
WHY DID THEY PUT IT THERE😢😢😢
Also do you have a link for the o-rings? This condenser you listed it says it doesn't come with the o-rings?
amzn.to/3VEDDTY See if this link works. I also think that the condenser did actually come with O-rings, but anyway the kit is cheap.
@bryansprojects3570 Thank you! I was just reading one of the reviews on the item on Amazon and someone had said to make sure you buy the o-rings. I noticed the item in this description was black and the one you had was silver? Does that make any difference?
Thank you very much! I was about to pay $630 to a shop for this fix. I'll be replacing it myself now.
Thanks for the video, I would recommend that you give the cam phasers a quick turn by hand in front of the sprocket, to ensure they are locked. I was about to put the new chain on '11 Buick Enclave and decided to give the phasers a quick turn, and found the rear bank intake phaser wasn't locked to the camshaft. I could turn it 1/4 of a rotation by hand, which would have ruin my day after all the work to replace the chains and still get timing codes.
Hey I just use your front desk video to do my pads done 1 million cars that was a different different way Gladys saw the video. Is there any reason why you didn't pry the pads with the bleeder open before you remove the caliper like you did on the front? Seems easier that way
