OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Bug Me Video How-to DVD, Volume 4 VW Brakes, by Rick Higgins


 
Rick Higgins (a real VW mechanic) guides you through the nuts and bolts of working on your master cylinder, brakes lines and hoses, brakes shoes and pads, wheel cylinders, drums and rotors. Running time: 62 min.

These DVDs are not sealed in the package, and they are NOT RETURNABLE unless they are defective. This policy is due to dirtbags that feel it's ok to burn their own copy and then return them for credit.

Volume #4 begins by showing several ways to remove the rear axle nut that holds the rear brake drum on. Once off we inspect the different brakes parts and show how to replace a faulty rear axle grease seal which can ruin new brakes if not corrected. Then step by step the old wheel cylinder, brake shoes, and brake hoses are examined and replaced as needed.

When replacing the front brakes attention is given to the front wheel bearings showing how they are paced with grease and replaced.

The master cylinder is then identified and replaced and then attention is given to the brake line that runs through the car.

Replacing the emergency cable is explained and repair and adjustment of the emergency brake handle is demonstrated.

Replacing disk brakes and calipers is covered in detail and a demonstration of the brake drums and rotors being resurfaced (turned) at the parts store is given.

We have given attention to all the common problems that you may face when doing a complete brake job so you will be totally prepared to do the whole job without a hitch.
