Problems you say? Let me hear all of your problems!

780 needs beetlejuice said three times to make it start, need one more bertone sacrifice to make it happen maybe

[@briangleeson1528]

My speedometer stopped working in my 240. Your 122 is looking good. I'm impressed with all the work you have done!

[@POVwithRC]

Alternator toast. Too many excursions above 6k

Transmission won’t engage any gear.

[@DeanofMachines]

@@kilgree Transmission engaging forward and reverse. It's a really dumb issue.

[@arieplomp8906]

Wow 🤩 you’re a real Pro!! Those brakes look like new ! And the lovely lady knows how to pump! Sadly the Amazon has the runners now! But when she has cleaned her guts she will run ok ✅! Nice job Dean and the ‘ lovely lady’ !

[@DeanofMachines]

Thanks Arie! This one has been challenging to say the least but its almost ready!

[@arieplomp8906]

Real Nice result! Can’t wait for the next episode! All the best to you both!

[@DeanofMachines]

Thank you@@arieplomp8906, I appreciate the love!

Bubble flares are a problem lol. Why complicate something as simple as a pipe flare? I also resorted to finishing my flares using the calipers or whatever fitting is home base. That way I know it's the right shape. I have now been inspired to get out in my yard, and fix my thing. Great vid✌️

[@DeanofMachines]

It makes a lot of sense to just seat it where its going and call it good. Have fun outside!

[@marcinbujok7388]

Great job Dean! The Amazon is looking far from abandoned now! Shall be called Adopted now!

[@DeanofMachines]

I was thinking the past tense of abandoned was abant. So its been Un Abant. Lol

[@marcinbujok7388]

@@DeanofMachines Abant is too close to Trabant 🤣

[@DeanofMachines]

Bummer you had so many setbacks with the brakes, but glad it got sorted in the end! Perfect timing with this video, as I am going to try a brake system swap on my 58 Amazon. The brake system will be the same as you have on your car. My parts supplier will provide all brand new parts if available, and managed to find the rest from a donor 66 model. Since the axle felt seal has the same part number, the 66 backing plate should in theory bolt straight on. However, I expect there will be at least as many setbacks as you had, if not more. :-)

[@DeanofMachines]

That sounds like a good swap! Good luck on your endeavor as there are plenty of setbacks...

[@gannicus1251]

I think you will have to clean that fuel tank in a near future bro. Great video!

[@DeanofMachines]

Its clean on the bottom, I think it has stuff stuck to the top inside

[@aninnocentbystander0]

I bought the $200 lever bar flaring tool from Amazon, really the only flare too capable of stainless.

[@DeanofMachines]

Those are quite nice.

Ahhh brakes so much fun. I remember doing those when I was much younger. Hated them

[@billhealy6532]

Hello Dean, great videos. Appreciate the technical info and love the cars. Quick question...I'm trying to get my 68 122 back on the road. I took rear brakes apart and am ready to reassemble. are there large spacers ( the thick one that goes under the felt axle seam flange} on both the drivers and pass side? I seem to have only one.

[@DeanofMachines]

Hi Bill! Off the top of my head I dont remember. When I had mine apart there were multiple spacers but I think only on one side. Its not a good example though because one side of my rear axle was missing brake components in the drum. It would be worth digging up a green book or emailing VP autoparts to see what their documentation says.

[@mauriciomccarter2305]

Dean of Machines do you sell all these volvos that you repair?

[@DeanofMachines]

I do sell some of the cars that have run their course with us. Are you interested in one?

[@AaronMelendrez-d6d]

Hey Dean love the content great work all around! I was wondering if you could link me to the Mobil 1 Pegasus prancing moose mash up sticker very cool! - Aaron Tacoma WA

[@DeanofMachines]

That sticker was actually a gift from a gentleman out in the bay area. Ill see if he’s interested in cutting more.

[@kilgree]

A month to do brakes? Omg, worst mechanic evaaaar! Seriously though, those parts issues are some crap. Especially the clip. It should just be included or the pin be pressed on permanently.

[@DeanofMachines]

The response from the well known seller, "You should look at the manual to make sure you get everything you need. It's a must when restoring old Volvos."

There are elements to doing brakes that some people really miss out on!
