I started this a few years ago. Took a real long time. You won’t find this anywhere else. I have no shame. Donations accepted via on home page. There’s typos. Writers – me for instance – make terrible editors. That’s what editors are for. I have no edddisotjsoator . You’re probably expecting this information to tell you the “just go like this”, lego toy style of fixing something. Nah, it’s a bit more involved than that so  if you have […]

All new hydraulic cylinders, rubber brake hoses, metal lines, drums, wheel bearings, springs, handbrake cables, shoes, a gallon of fluid used up bleeding a river of fluid, wheels on and off numerous times and still – funky brakes. It’s probably the shoes. When a shoe touches only in the middle, when one applies the brakes, the wheel cylinder piston pushes against the end, the shoe bends until it makes full contact. This small amount of bending is travel – which directly translates into […]

Here’s two bug shift bushings … They’re both the same except the one on the left is very hard and the one on the right is very soft. The one on the left works in an early Vanagon but you put it in backwards. And it’ll have to be made from the material on the left – the white one.
