    Sometimes we learn more by just diving in.

      That’s usually how I prefer to learn but I did this a week ago and my shoulders STILL hurt from using that damn slide hammer 😂

    It’s cool to watch people work on vehicles that I’ve always wanted, but never had. I’ll never get sick of watching you work on any of these old cars keep up the good work and great videos.

    Ah the memories! This was one of my first type 2 repairs. I too ran at it without much research. I performed this job outside in a non-level alley behind my work! Oh the frustration. I never did find that cover so just left that shaft installed, never got that bearing replaced!! Oh, and gear oil smell!!!

    Enjoyed your recovery. Sources you provide help to short cut the part replacement process and help the parts suppliers provide the proper parts instead of shipping things back-and-forth. Enjoy your bus. I think you’ll find out you prefer this to be your very special vehicle for anything you do. I enjoy my three different single cabs that do various jobs for me.

    Love your videos. Just a word of caution from an old guy that taught me. 2:18 …sit your knees on a piece of foam, or cardboard. And don’t put your legs under the car.
    And
    Use more than one jackstand, or whatever. So if one fails….yeah…
    I’m not trying to critique, …..we’re all in this together.
    Thanks for the video.

    I've got a 64 bus and had to open up a gear reduction box a couple of years ago. It ain't for the faint of heart if you haven't done it before.

    Thank you for sharing your struggles and i feel your pain when i was younger i worked in my dads shop and there were no repair or as i call them reference manuals to work from so I struggled alot but i am here today 55 years later to say i use the reference manuals alot less and suffer thru my learning experiences all by myself, you at least share it with all of us! Good video, keep up the fight to keep these special breed of vehicles on the road! I am dealing with 2000 and 2013 Bugs with their own issues with part quality.

    I felt your pain. I had to rebuild mine because the previous owner broke the spring plate bolts in the rgb. Then, welded the spring plate and rgb together. The rear plug is reusable if you dont hack it up and use a little rtv around it before you put it back in.

      If you don’t hack up it 😂

    18:30…again, just suggesting. Not try to critique. It’s been my experience not to use anything with silicone. Ultra grey, I thought at one time was great. Until everything I sealed with it. Leaked.
    I now use Permatex aviation sealant for everything.
    Try it once, you won’t go back.
    Just came in from the garage with a wet rim on my 67….sure enough, leaking from the gasket, I assembled with ultra grey.
    I fixed it with a new gasket set and aviation sealant.

    Gear oil in the transmission is likely low. Usually the reductions will get oil from trans if they leak.
    The outer bearing will not last as long as the correct roller bearing. The correct bearing is a little expensive though. Good thing is it can be changed without disassembling if it becomes a problem. :)

    How about the other side? Is it wobbling as well? Great to see you working on this great old car! 🤘Thanks Taylor!

    Split buses are a different breed. That's why us owners walk around with our noses in the air.
