If you've ever wondered why so many Ferraris Catch on Fire, I can show you in just a few minutes. We then fix the Fuel Pumps on our 360 Spider so that it runs much better and is no longer a risk to drive. Also with the convertible top assembly removed we can finish up some final repairs before buttoning everything up.

    The Mercedes R230s have the same type of hydraulic cylinders. There are guides online on how to take them apart and swap the seals. They are not only orings. Basically you would have to drill little holes into the side of the cylinder at the same height where these circlips are. Then depress them through that hole so you can take them out. The hard part comes when reassembling, though. The teflon piston seals are a bit finniky to get back inside as their diameter is slightly larger than the bore. Its the same kind of problem you have, when putting pistons into an engine block. A Tool in needed to compress the piston rings...

    The smaller cylinders should be very easy to DIY rebuild. The larger cylinders, you'll have to undo the crimp that holds the fittings in. That may release the larger cylinder and also allow you to change the small fitting O-rings. Even if you don't want to tackle the rebuilds, literally any hydraulic shop should be able to handle it much cheaper than a Ferrari specialist.

    FYI to really know if you have a tight seal around those rings you'll need to fill the tanks with fuel. You can't tell until you have a full tank and the fuel reaches the ring. You'll want to do that obviously before reinstalling the roof. I learned that the hard way. Also I broke down and bought the actual tool that seats over the ring and really seal the ring. Again I found out the hard way. You can quickly sell it on Ebay if you don't plan on using it again.

    Oh man! Did you not replace the rollover valves while you were in there???? They're the two little round plastic vent valves on the top of each tank with rubber hoses attached. They're also just as common a failure point as the fuel pumps and should definitely be changed while you have the top off. They're super easy to change, you just turn them a quarter turn and they pull right out. I hope you haven't put the top back on yet because it's crazy not to do them while you have it apart.

    Great episode, Sam 👍 Are you going to cut holes and put covers in the rear deck so that you (or a future owner) can do this job more simply? I imagine replacing the deck with Ferrari's original part would be an exorbitant price. I was watching Tavarich's channel the other day - he was rebuilding a fire damaged Ferrari. The fire had started because of a jubilee clip (hose clamp?) being fitted the wrong way around and eventually cutting through the fuel hose. I'm sure you're aware of this stuff, but, whilst you have good access to everything, it'll probably be worth looking at all cable and hose runs to make sure there's not a similar problem developing...

    Lot's of European cars and motorcycles have these tightening rings for the fuel pump holder. Get a marker and mark the ring and reference point on the tank. Then, count the turns when removing. Transfer the mark to the new retaining ring and reinstall. If you turn the same number back on, then you'll know for sure you have it tight enough before you use your final snug tightening tool of choice to align the marks. Me personally, I used XL oil filter removal pliers. Someone got smart and started using metal retaining rings, depends on the manufacturer.

    Sam - the convertible top mechanism was made by Webasto - a German company. They have manufacturing in Italy, Germany, and the US (Michigan). The top mechanism and hydraulics were very similar to the top used in early BMW Mini convertibles. They (Webasto US) used to do warranty teardowns for the Mini. I wonder if they would be willing to help on the know-how in the cylinder teardown. Also, I believe the cylinder end is press-fit. To disassemble, you would need to attach something like a slide-hammer to the shaft end and pull. This may damage the piston, but other than drilling a couple of holes on the end, i'm not sure how. I have to believe that the rebuild services do it a similar way.

    Watching this brought back horrible memories of a SAAB 9000 Turbo I had years ago. Whilst miles from home I stopped for a break and the car wouldn't restart. Afer some diagnosise It was a failed fuel pump. The pump was accessed from a cover under the rear seat and held in with a ring like the one on the Ferrari. I only had a hammer and a few screwdrivers in the car and tried to remove it this way but as the plastic had gone brittle I snapped nearly every tongue off before it even started to undo. I ended up knocking my own notches into it to get it off. my repair attempt at the side of the road soon gained the attention of the Police Fortunately the Police after asking where I lived offered to drive me to the local breakers yard where I was able to get another pump. They dropped me back at my car and said they'd be back in an hour and to make sure that I wasn't still there when they got back. Pump took about 20 minutes to fit as I had to reuse the old ring as the one at the breakers snapped in half trying to get it off. And I didn't want to break what was left of the original one gettig it back on. Car was fine drove home and the next day I went to the dealer and bought a new ring and seal

    Sam I love your videos but I cringed when I saw the extremely dangerous rigging you were using as those ratchet straps are not designed for that type of lifting application. It would have been much more safer to use industrial 3/4 ton chain type come alongs which can be rented at any rent all center. They give you much more control over the load and are much more safe to use. Just my two bits comment as an industrial millwright concerned for your safety and of those around you. Cheers from Edmonton, alberta.
