VW BUS TRANS REBUILD AND TEARDOWN#2

STEP ONE WE UNBOLTED THE SIDE COVER AND REMOVED THE BIG SNAP RING HOLDING ON THE AXLE AND REMOVED THE AXLE AND SIDE COVER WITH DROP GEAR CASINGS ATTACHED. THEN UNBOLTED THE OTHER SIDE COVER WITH THE RING AND CENTER HOUSING AS ONE UN IT. THE DRUM IS SEIZED ON THE BRAKE PADS FROM SITTING FOR 10 YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD CA .BEFORE YOU TEAR STUFF DOWN YOU SHOULD LOOK AT ALL THE PATINA AND DIAGNOSE WHAT YOU THINK IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE INSIDE... THIS ON WAS IN A DUNE BUGGY BECAUSE THEY CUT OFF THE RUBBER STOPS WITH A HACK SAW. THERE WAS ALSO BLUE RUBBER SILICONE ON THE JOINTS MEANING ITS BEEN APART. WHEN I PULLED THE SIDE COVER OFF THE BIG THICK THRUST WASHER WAS SHATTERED BUT SO FAR AS I SEE DID NO DAMAGE THAT I CAN TELL . ITS BETTER I THINK TO REMOVE AS MUCH SMEGMA AS POSSIBLE BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER WITH DISASSEMBLY YOU CAN BUY MALCO POTENT PURPLE DEGREASER FROM MALCO PRODUCTS 1 800-253-2526 THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE NAME OF A DISTRIBUTOR IN YOUR AREA . THE DEGREASER IS A WATER BASE PRODUCT AND IS CAUSTIC IN NATURE . IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR CLEANING OIL WELL PLATFORMS. YOU GET THE PICTURE . SAVE ALL YOUR DEGREASER AND SYPHEN IT CLEAN BACK INTO ITS CONTAINER WHEN YOU ARE DONE.IT CAN BE DILUTED MANY TIMES , AND STILL WORK WELL USE A MESH STRAINER FIRST THEN A PAINT STRAINER .. THEN A COFFEE STRAINER THIS WAY IT WILL GO THRU A SPRAYER WITH NO PROBLEMS...LEO.
