Nope

King pin needs to be machined to accept dust caps.

Early 20mm link pins don't use the o-ring. The torsion arms mating surface is flat. There's no place for the o-ring to seat. Just shims with the Early 👍

Sounds like you fucked up🤪

You can do it!

Ha, ha, awesome, bro! Thanks for watching! Hope you drive the shit out of that Notch! Headlights or not🤪🤣🤣🤣

Definity the easiest way to do it 😁

With a press and the factory tooling or a reasonable facsimile. Next time I bust down a set I'll do a video.

No, I changed jobs. Not doing the VW stuff for a living anymore. I'll probably still do a video every now and then though. I knnow WolfsburgWest sells them. Just buy German/European manufactured ones. Any of the China or Brazillian ones are crap and not usable.

Sorry, man. I can't remember. I posted up all the details of the build in the lifted Bus thread on thesamba.com

Yes, nice long screw drivers work awesome! I've only done it a few times, but once you figure it out, you're golden🤜💥🤛

@@WideFive I think I tired heating it up with water. What a disaster... wasted two good solid boots.

@@johnwarfn Yeah, that water stuff never made any sense to me. That and I didn't want to make a mess, ha, ha.

Awesome, glad they help! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!🤜💥🤛

Well, it doesn't, ha, ha. The factory offset is correct in that situation of 7mm offset. Any variance from that 7mm needs corrected 👍

Easier, yes... better, definitely NOT! Ha, ha, the easy way is rarely the best way.

Awesome, thanks for watching, my man!

Send me your email address Thanks

Awesome, glad I could help I'm some way 😁

Awesome! Thanks for watching! Glad I could help😁

No, I'm not sure when or if I'll be back to rebuilding spindles.

Awesome to hear! Glad I could help!

Mike! Thanks for the sub and for watching, my man! Much appreciated. Yeah, I've trimmed down the website offerings quite a bit, ha, ha. I threw the chart back up there and a link to my front end playlist. You can find that chart here: widefive.net/Spindle-Installation-Instructions-p131869409

Technically all that is built into the design of the spindle. ONLY alignment spec you can change is the toe. If someone put the wrong shim stack in there it can be off. If the link pins aren't tight and adjusted properly you could see this. More common is a bent spindle shaft or torsion arms. Check your shim stack first 👍

I rarely have spindles to sell outright. '63 o my spindles would need to have the king pins changed to fit the later 22mm link pins on '64-'67 arms.

Yes, Early and Late have different size shafts. Different shapes too. Early has a shaft that is basically straight and takes the larger size nut. Late has a tapered shaft and takes the smaller nut.

Awesome! Glad to hear of another VW getting on the road! Lots of memories to be made! If there is anything I can help with, I'm here for you👍

2" lifted spindles, beam turned 1/4". Rear frame horns dropped 30mm, Type I nosecone and hockey stick. Spring plates reindexed.

@@WideFive beautiful! Thank you

@@brianthomas2948 Absolutely! Thanks for watching!

subscribed ...wanna see more of this bus!!!

If the link pin isn't coming out it's probably because the end is mushroomed over. Best to grab a cut off wheel and grind the end down. You can get away with prying on the split in the arm, but it's not gonna give you much extra room. Just use your best judgement if you have to wedge/pry/hammer on the arm in any way 👍

@@WideFive thank you, kinda what I thought. Figured I'd ask. Great series!

@@matt105style Always best to ask! Usually saves time and money in the long run, ha, ha. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! Thanks for watching! More to come, when I find the time.

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!

@@WideFive cheers for making a cool video that helped me out.

Thanks, so much! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Stay Rad!

Size depends on model year. You can just measure the ones you have. Thickness is 0.50mm

@@WideFive thanks man

@@crafteygamer4129 Fur Shure 🤜💥🤛

Hey Brad, thanks for watching and subbing. You'll need the factory tooling or you can make the tools needed. Those parts along with at least a 20ton press will get the job done. More importantly, you need to be sure they're pressed back together properly, so the king pins are aligned.

@@WideFive man thanks for the info. Gonna have to ship them out.

Hey Jake, this is Wide Five! I'm replying from my other channel that is mostly Grom content. I need to do an updated video there Yes definitely get the Monkey brake laver and swingarm bolt at the minimum Spring wouldn't hurt either. I did all these and now everything is "right"! 👍

Yes, check out @GromBeardo I hope to have an updated video there before too long. Go ahead and slap that swingarm bolt and lever on though. You can tie your low mount into the mounting bolts for the rear mc with a bracket. Just depends on what exhaust you're running.

Everyone needs at least one in their life! Tanks for watching! Hope to see you soon, Bro! #stayrad

@@WideFive I gotta get out your way soon bro and see what you’ve been cookin up! Hoping for a rad ass summer 🙏

Ha, ha, it's some good old fashioned country hick fun.

Thanks, Cory! Now git back to werk on that badass Rover! 😜

@@WideFive I’m working on it!! Seems endless!! 😀

Rocky! Thanks for watching, man! If they cut and welded the tie rod, that's not a good sign that the spindles were done well. Nothing wrong with flipped spindles, just way, way too many people take all the short cuts instead of doing the job well.

My daughter got that at school. Saw it and was like, hell yeah, I can use that! 😂

We've come a long way, baby😀

No I haven't made one. You need to make some tools and have at least a 20ton press. Need the correct reamers for the new bushings too. Usually it's best to have them sent off for a rebuild. You can find a lot of issues once you get them apart.

@@WideFive Thanks I was given similar info by another as well. Guess I should have researched before purchasing the full rebuild kit.

@@enminc I mean you can try to do it. I think it's Demop Garage that has a little how to here on YT. You might get lucky. A lot of times I get them apart and the spindle carrier itself is worn or someone else had rebuilt them and their work needs to be fixed. Sometimes you get lucky and everything goes smoothly.

Bro! Thanks for watching! Much appreciated! If you need help with anything else, just let me know 💪
