Volkswagen Thing Brake Rotors

Volume 4 begins by showing several ways to remove the rear axle nut that holds the rear brake drum on. Once off we inspect the different brakes parts and show how to replace a faulty rear axle grease seal which can ruin new brakes if not corrected. Then step by step the old wheel cylinder, brake shoes, and brake hoses are examined and replaced as needed.

When replacing the front brakes attention is given to the front wheel bearings showing how they are paced with grease and replaced.

The master cylinder is then identified and replaced and then attention is given to the brake line that runs through the car.

Replacing the emergency cable is explained and repair and adjustment of the emergency brake handle is demonstrated.

Replacing disk brakes and calipers is covered in detail and a demonstration of the brake drums and rotors being resurfaced (turned) at the parts store is given.

We have given attention to all the common problems that you may face when doing a complete brake job so you will be totally prepared to do the whole job without a hitch.
