ROWDY Rescue after 20 YEARS -1970 Volkswagen Beetle - DON'T Repeat! Stuck Brakes & Engine - VW Bug

[@deweygill1973]

Our next door neighbor when I was growing up in the 50’s and 60’s always had a bug. First, an old split window, then a ‘62, ‘67 and finally a’72. I never understood the attraction (we all liked hot rods then), but he was a celebrated engineer and a pilot (built his own airplane). Must have known something we didn’t. They were good in the snow, I remember. The pan bottom acted like a toboggan and slid over everything. And when they did get stuck, one or two people could lift the whole back end up, and off you go

[@LarryDeSilva64]

I used to have a '73 super beetle and it was throwing oil everywhere I bought a new set of heads and put them in and drove it for about 5 years then sold it to a guy who wanted to tow it behind his RV. So with a little work they can get running again. That engine of yours is stuck with a capitol "S". But you can take them apart and parts are readily available. Made it through my first 3 days of Chemo Therapy need it every 28 days until the B-Cell Lymphoma is killed off.

[@palocedrogarage]

Enjoyed the episode! You are blessed to still have your Dad around, mine died in 2014 and I sure do miss him. I broke a tractor engine loose one time by putting a wrench on the crank, and then a cheater bar, and then a heavy tractor wheel weight. I lubed up the cylinders good and let it sit, I checked back a few days later and it had moved. I was then able to get it to turn over. God bless, glad people like y'all are still around!

Love your videos tell Nikki T high been sick in the Hospital looks like a 1971 Super Beetle we used have a lot of Bugs bake in the day God Bless

[@auteurfiddler8706]

That was a risky rescue! I was really nervous for you all. When I broke my clutch, it would start, but I could not shift into any gear with the engine running. But it could shift with the engine off. I had to start it in 4th in the parking garage and drive 20 miles home without stopping for traffic lights. Luckily it was light traffic because it was very late at night. I supposed I could have shut off at the traffic lights and started it in 4th again, but it wasn't easy the first time. If I were Mr. Wayne, I'd have lost me a farm animal after I saw what he was doing to my cars. But gained a freezer of steaks. Great stuff, Rev. I'd like to see the Barracuda at Wayne's house revived.

[@auteurfiddler8706]

I saw a video on another channel yesterday where a guy did everything to get a bad engine to turn. The whole time I was thinking, "What makes him think it is a matter of rust and not a spun bearing, or thrown rods like on my engines?" At the end he adds a comment that it wasn't a rust issue. If he kept trying to force it, he would have just made things worse if it was the same things mine were. Like cracking the block.

[@RevStoration]

Most of the engine we work on are stuck because of sitting.. Engines that lock up while running would require a different method.. We have had 7 or 8 engines on this channel that was stuck, everyone was because of rust.. I would say 95 out of 100 are!

[@terryeustice5399]

Rev, thanks for taking the time to personally reply to my comments. I really like all your content. I even watched a church service a couple of weeks ago on facebook and I think it was a fine service. It was the one where the young man got baptized. I've got a few neglected project cars myself. A little bit of everything. I'm always wondering if I should KZbin something about them.

[@auteurfiddler8706]

Using the wrench on the crank bolt can strip your crank threads. I saw it happen a few times on KZbin "will it run " videos. Or break the bolt. On my bad 302 in a new project car, I decided I would use the wrench to turn the engine backwards. That way if I put too much pressure on, the bolt would unscrew, rather than break. It was already free, but it turned only with a large amount of force in either direction. To much hard turning for a starter to turn. I'd done all the lube-in-the-cylinders stuff. Also, it didn't hiss every 90 degrees I turned it or alter the force needed to turn the crank with the wrench. So, no compression. And probably spun bearings.

It can't be too hard to remove the brakes. When I was in college, ever girl I knew that worked on her own car and knew what she was doing was a Beetle driver. I wonder if you really need that drum puller to service the back brakes. I'll have to look it up.

[@auteurfiddler8706]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGfIn3ykm6aFoNE This guy shows that removing the nut was the big job. He bolted a piece of angle iron to the lugs so he could put enough force on with the breaker bar. The drum just slides slides off without a puller after you remove that.

[@RevStoration]

The issue is the brakes are stuck to the drum. It has been sitting for years.. If the brakes was not stuck to the drum it would come off easily...

[@auteurfiddler8706]

@@RevStoration Oh, I thought the nut wouldn't come off. I've had a couple like what you describe where the friction pads were pasted so hard to the drum, they tore themselves off the the metal of the brake shoes when I pulled the drum.
