  • Chris I have a 1955 bug. looking at the rear shocks. I have lost the top bolt. this is not a nut and bolt set up. The bolt screws in to the tower (if I can call it that) any Ideas where I can find this bolt. description of the bolt: large and long grim and narrow and short thread

  • @fayjason Should be able to get is from any VW shop like wolfsburgwest or my guy in CT bugcity.

  • Chris, I noticed on the removal of the stuck bushing you didn't even try using some penetrating oil. Granted you have easy access to a torch but your dad also didnt bother putting on grease on the install.

  • @ChuddleBuggy I never really have that great of luck with penetrating oil, it has to sit over night, and we were shooting this video in real time, so I was not going to wait for that. Torch it is better. Why need grease if it goes right in?

  • @brighteyefilms ah, yes, you do have to wait for the penetrating oil to work. I'm a big fan of grease though for unpainted surfaces if not just to keep them from binding up the next time around....which brings us back to the torch :)

  • Nice one Chris, I feel like this is a job that won't make me cry.

  • Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate these videos.

  • you should make a video on how to convert da brake system for more stopping power

  • @MrBajaboy5b judging by the way they drool I would say hes water cooled, but he does resemble a vw bus

  • dogs name should be air cooled :P
