“See if we can not f@ck this up” Is how I live my daily life. Thank You for this video! Straight to the point and no BS. 👍🏻👍🏻

You put the bigger o-ring and the paper gasget in the wrong order! You must put the paper gasget first against the brake back plate and then comes the o-ring. It's important to put the o-ring against the bearing cover! If the o-ring is against the brake back plate, as you did, and then comes the paper gasget which is against the bearing cover, the paper gasget will brake and you will face oil leaking! And btw the other paper gasget goes to the back of the brake back plate.

I pressed the subscribe button once the Eff Wrench came out and I saw how easily it was able to get the hub assembly off the axle. This '68 Beetle here needs the same thing and I wasn't sure I had all the tools. I also have an Eff Wrench and it looks like it will be using it several times for this job. Thanks!

Excellent video, I got my new seals kit. It all started adjusting my handbrake and I noticed my shoes were all oiled up and crumbling away from oil contamination. The shoes were not that old, I replaced the whole lot and drums when I went to a 5 x 130 stud pattern. I did not know how the oil from the gearbox lubes the bearings. The ins and outs of owning an old beetle. Well done clear video, Great stuff.

very clearly shown what I want to know. you are highly appreciated

Super. Many thanks for the various tips in this video. Juat what I needed .

There are 2 different styles of bearing covers. One has the groove for the oring the other does not. if yours has the groove for the oring you dont use the gaskets. if it does not you use the gaskets. one on each side of the backing plate.

How can you not like this Man!!!? Straight to the point and a no bull💩 . I love it just what I needed. Blessings and more blessings to you and your family New Subscriber

Great walk through on this problem.

Interesting video ; You never mentioned the lack of a park brake nor that you sheared off the cotter pin taking it apart . It's a simple thing to use a 4MM flat faced pin punch and hammer to knock the sheared off pin out . One shouldn't ever need to remove the backing plate all all . Nice to see you know what a bearing & seal driver is and how to use it, many don't . FWIW, the little hole is a weep hole and it was clearly shown to have been weeping the gear oil out onto the back side of the brake plate, sometimes it soaks the brake shoes, they can be cleaned with hot soapy water, after they're dry be _SURE_ to either lay thhem in the direct sun or heat them to see if any more oil comes out of the friction material . Relined or new shoes don't co$t much but I know many here are on a tight budget . Never, _EVER_ fail to install the darn cotter pin ! . The cotter pins are easiest t remove by un bending the ends then grasping the looped head with a large pair of dykes, them lever against the castle nut and it'll come right out every time . Anyone who thinks swearing is a big deal needs to get a life . -Nate

Great video. Thank you very much!

Dar. Very Very good vídeo Thanks, Brasil.

I legit laughed out loud.

Worth watching for the Specs 45 on cap and 253 on axle nut...thanks!

Kit comes with 2 paper gaskets! 1for the brake assembly backing plate & 1 for the bearing cap! You can also put bearing grease on the bearing so it’s not dry during its first few miles. Other than that you did good?

That vent hole you refer to is a oil return. The sling washer keeps the oil in the cup and it returns through that hole. Man, you should know that.

Does the backing plate actually press the large o-ring or does it sort of fit around the o-ring.

Lube the O rings. Lube the seals. Torque to 217. (Book spec) then tighten till holes line up. Torque after wheel installed and on the ground. Chock the wheel. Much easier. Cheers!

How about the washer before the crown nut ? Mine has one and looked like yours was still on the floor....

put a nut on those threads for the crowbar next time... 🙂 great content. . thanks!

Too good. Thank u .

How long is the torque wrench you used???

Anyone got a idea on how to remove the spacer if it's stuck on haven't had any luck

"all f-d up" This guy tells it like it is.

what no assembly grease ?

Clean as possible on that nasty table! Lol..

Should be good to go if the holes match up

What kind of grease would you use if you were to use grease?

I still don’t see which exact part is keeping the oil from leaking in the spline grooves. I did all of this and it still leaks between the axle splines.....down my wheel rim 😢

The hole on the gasket is so the oil can travel through there.

Hasn’t COME off any of the bolts yet, not CAME!!As mentioned below by Harold, the seal should have been lubricated before assembly and that’s probably why it was pinched by the previous guy, and possibly now, by you. Didn’t look like you repacked the main bearing..,looked a bit dry. Wow!

Är du bilintresserade har vi ett projekt på vår kanal!

The putting it back on is the hardest part. the brake line makes the backing plate want to come away from the hub. you need a second pair of hands to hold it in place while you get the cover on. I didn't have anyone handy and ended up fucking up the o ring.

that was a spacer you called a bearing ,,,so this is not cv axles ,,,,thanks for sharing though

a gasket goes on each side of the drum assembly

You fucked it up, one of those paper seals is for the inside.

Dude, that is an oil seal, not an anvil! Why are you "pounding" it in? A little lube and the seal will seat fine. Also using the drift with the proper side facing the seal would help. Lastly if you don't remove the backing plate from the axle, you don't have to fight the large O ring seal that much. I'm guessing the other side went easier.

Personally I always run into that safety cutter pin not lining up with the hole every time I lock it down to that 250lbs ish... 😑

I don't have the outer most shim

Sure we wont know if u messed that one up...I would use grease....lots of moving parts in there

That was painful 😂

Yikes. So much is wrong in this video for this to be a car of a customer.

Maybe the guy could invest in some brake parts cleaner?? Is he still in business???

“I don’t know how really important that is….” says it all. A total hack.

I appreciated your video until you started using vulgar language. Vulgar language doesn't make your video more informative or you any more of a man.
