[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Fun, straight forward conversion. Thanks for sharing, Dean.

Thanks George

Great video. I usually destroy the ball joint boot with the pickle fork and just move along also.

[@lhb4031]

Video came out great, did a nice job explaining everything,

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Thanks

[@stephenlepore4476]

awesome my man. thank you.

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Welcome

[@beefsoda1]

Great video 📹 👍

[@benkanobe7500]

Excellent job both showing and explaining. I would not have thought to use the pipe wrench. Great tip. Any reason why you didn't change the ball joints while you were there?

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Just pure laziness. I should have replaced the ball joints

[@rossguidotti8341]

Great explanation!! Nice Job!

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Thanks

[@MrHevyshevy]

Your close to cutworm now. He’s got a ton of Vw stuff. Some of it was mine. Haha

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

I really need to meet up with him soon.

[@colbycroswhite]

Sweet! Was gonna ask if you were going to get to do this over the weekend.

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Yeah finally got her all wrapped up. Glad you were able to find the channel

[@mkupman1]

Thanks for the video I think this is the empi 22-2850 kit

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Yeah that should be it

[@tareknasr8953]

Is very great video please. I need all information about this new stuff. How much the size?

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Can't remember all the details. But I know the kit is from jbugs. Com

[@dubworldvwadventures]

Hope you went back and replaced the ball joints! That bottom one is excessively worn. Don’t want mom having to an accident!

[@vwdarrin]

nice work

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Thanks

[@evermtz8001]

Nice work partner, how long did it take you to do both of the sides? Thanks.

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Probably around 5 hours or so

[@benkanobe7500]

How much does it improve braking from excellent condition VW drum brakes? Are the disc n caliper less weight than drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, ...?

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

It's a huge difference from the drums. Night in day. And I would say the disks are probably lighter

[@kinghasan9828]

Amazing.thanks.

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Welcome

[@_vintageyamahagarage_1862]

Great video but you should have replaced those ball joints while you were in there. Lol. I don't mean to be that guy but just voicing an opinion. Lol

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Yeah I know. You are right. I was in a hurry this time

[@oaljaloudi3091]

Hello, would you please share with us the parts used and where did you buy them? Did you convert the rear too?

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

No just the front. The kit is from Jbugs. . com

[@benkanobe7500]

What disc pad do they use, (from what car)?

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Not really sure honestly

[@johnchampion7819]

I would have been nice if you had shown all of the work rather than skipping bits. Otherwise, a reasonable video.

[@Fullthrottle440Garage]

Yeah it's a terrible video. I whole heartedly agree. Unfortunately I don't have a camera crew
