Hi Everyone! In this 1969 VW Beetle episode, we are replacing the rear brakes and also replacing the transaxle shaft oil seals. With the bearings finished in the last episode we can start to move forward. We use that cool torque multiplier to set the hub nuts to 225 Ft-lbs! :)

AXLE NUT AND FLYWHEEL TOOL IS MAN'S BEST INVENTION EVER

I imagine there is a lot of thought and effort that goes into the production of one of your videos, I really appreciate your commitment to quality and excellence.

Nicely done. That torque converter tool is really nice

Hello! I'm from Brazil. Today I had the pleasure of knowing your channel. I'm delighted. I love the way you explain and your knowledge about. The organization and the workshop so clean. That's good work. Congratulations 🎊

Your depth of knowledge is incredible, and clarity is appreciated. Thanks.

Lemon sure is lucky to have a good doctor like Franny.

This is sooo good. I bought my wife a beetle and this channel is the best by far! I'm a Suzuki mightyboy guy but am loving working her beetle thanks to this channel

$80 per driveshaft assembly! I miss having a Type 1.

Thank U so much, I've always loved beetles since ma young age, am a poor guy who loves class and attention, U can't believe that I even bought the radio, speakers and seat covers b4 even buying it, it took me long to decide and buy one but since I've got this tutorial from U, I'm confident I can do most of the work ma self, am buying it soon, I love the beetle and all ma old friends know it

These Beetle episodes make me want one... I saw a gorgeous mid-60s metallic blue Beetle the other day. It was a Coupé (not cabrio) but man did it look fun. And knowing you have these amazing video guides would inspire a great deal of confidence in that kind of purchase ;-)

Great job. Nice contrast between the VW and the I8 parked outside. Technology sure has come a long way. Looking forward to the 3.2 new interior and gearbox :)

I also agree and reccomend that you removing the Brake bleeder helps. They went to 8mm for the bleeder to make it easier to open/close.

I can honestly saw you have some awesome repair videos. Thanks so much for your time and these videos. Really helps out those of us who aren't super beetle mechanics. 👍

I love your videos, Franny!! You’re so detailed. Great channel!!

You two are the best!!! Make things look so easy!!!

Thanks for giving your time to vlogging the process and also comparing cost of new ones (CV & axle ) verses the time to clean the original.

Great job and very educational I did notice you keep calling the break shoes Pads they are actually called Shoes Pads are for Disk breaks and shoes are for drum breaks and your car is equipped with drum breaks no big deal love your videos

Great work Franny - can’t wait for the next video on lemon drop 😍

Excellent videos, so clear and concise. I appreciate your attention to cleaning parts before assembly. I have a 1974 Beetle entirely disassembled right now, will be going back together this spring and summer. A tip I learned working in the auto service industry for 25 years. Pack the channel on the backside of seals with grease. Sometimes when pressing/hammering a seal in, the spring that keeps the lip pressed against the shaft can pop out and then it won't seal properly. Not to mention the rogue spring! The small amount of grease won't contaminate the gear oil to any appreciable degree. I will certainly be revisiting your Beetle videos as I begin putting things back together!
