In this video I start the rebuild on the rear axle on the Mehari.
This is the same for Mehari, 2cv and dyane and other cars based on the A-model.

Very satisfying watching a rusty old thing being given a new lease of life.😎

[@mickspencer4171]

That spare wheel puller, genius lol.

[@andyarmstrong1493]

Fantastic engineering by Citroen and yourself! As Mr Spock would say, "Fascinating." Really enjoyed this, thank you.

[@alellish9167]

I really enjoy your videos. I used to own a Volvo 544. Right now I am doing a dialysis session and your vid’s are very informative!

[@SeasideGarage]

A volvo 544 is a nice car! Great to hear you like my videos Al...!

Great work as always. I love that sticker on your cupboard...it applies to anyone with any classic car. 'The slow way to become poor'! Lol. Yes, you are right to say aluminium corrodes...it doesn't rust. Mange tak igen.

[@SeasideGarage]

haha yea! its a great sticker! :D

[@bjrneriksen7541]

Very god to see the Old vise in use😊👍

[@SeasideGarage]

Its very good!

[@harryharker9564]

Hey I really like the novel use of the axle stands to allow you to rotate as you paint the axle

[@SeasideGarage]

hehe it almost felt like it was made for it!

[@marcinbujok7388]

Thanks for a great video! So good to see new tools in use. So satisfying! Also the spiral brake line is a quirky thing to see 😀. I wonder what the designers had in mind? We need to protect that piece of brake line no matter what!? And they succeded! 🤣💪❤️

[@SeasideGarage]

Its very quirky indeed... remember the first time I saw it... I did not know a lot about cars of 2cvs back then and I was so puzzled!

[@pepijnwittopkoning4582]

Wow I love your Puller!!

[@chrissmith7655]

Hi , great stuff. You really like doing this work we can see, as you make it look fun to do. One KZbinr says, ' If you are not having fun, you are doing it wrong.' Many thanks.

[@imminentdisaster]

Thank you for the detailed description much better than any other i have found. Inspirational.🚙🛠📹

[@MotorkontoretDK]

Fedt projekt, det er godt nok en sjov konstruktion det der, har aldrig skruet med Citroën det burde man næste sætte på sin bucket list 😊

[@SeasideGarage]

Det er noget helt helt særligt!

[@liyanaalmira923]

nice video I like it

[@Anomalous-Plant]

Action! Love it :)

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi Seaside, you should try a hairdryer or heat gun to speed up the drying time, that’s what I normally do and it works quite well, another great video man.😊

[@SeasideGarage]

Yea... but it could mess with the adhesion I think... :)

I bought an induction heater from ebay for under 200 euros. I can highly recommend it. Same watts as the one from biltema, but under half price

[@SeasideGarage]

Tempting!

[@twocvbloke]

Ah the rear brake lines, amazingly not fun to fit apparently, they like to avoid staying put when you're trying to fit the nuts to hold them in place, probably much easier with the tube removed from the chassis though... :D

[@SeasideGarage]

there is a special tool for that too actually... dont have that one either! haha

[@Kimgrydgaard87]

Hvad er det for noget maling du bruger ? Måske skrive hvir det er fra? Skal til at lave noget lignende på et tidspunkt 😉

[@SeasideGarage]

Jeg siger det ikke med vilje... kender det nemlig ikke så godt. Men det er biltemas rust primer og emalje lak tror jeg det hed... Ville nok anbefale esbjergmaskine malling og grunder... det ved man duer, men er også ret dyrt.. Eller det rigtig fine, en epoxy grunder og malling. :)

[@Kimgrydgaard87]

Det er også helt iorden.. det er heller ikk noget man kan realiteter til hvis man ikk kender biltema f.eks fra andre lande.. men det var også det jeg havde kigget på af samme grund til at det er okai billigt..

[@theblackhand6485]

Pfff!...and there I stand with a paint brush! If one blasts metal to undo the surface from rust one should blast all the rust off. In other words, you should not leave any rust behind. By painting over still rusted areas will start the rusting process immediately. So skip the kindergarten habi babi snip snap work and blast it thoroughly and then apply a powder coating. Yes this costs you money but you are going to sell the car anyways. So you will profit from the investments you made earlier.
