    G'day Mr Nick,
    Yes to unboxing video.
    You covered a lot today.
    The beam came up a treat it should look the business with the disc brake set up bolted on.
    And the steering box looks good that should come in handy.
    So thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace and merry Christmas to you Oven Boy and families.
    Owe and happy new year. 2023.

    Hope you all had a great Christmas and happy new year. I am excited to meet the new QA specialist. I am off to a VW graveyard today to pick some parts, a nice 3 hour drive, taking my son with my friend and his son, should be a fun day.

      @@DemopVWgarage I just got back, wow it was pretty crazy. I went with my 5 year old and a 10 year old so couldn't spend a ton of time, but I found what I needed and some 68 year only wiper arms that are rarer than hens teeth. Got 3 for $50 but I had to sift through a truck bed of VW wiper arms stacked 4 feet high to find them. I need to go back and spend the entire day there. Happy New Year!

    Awesome informative video! Doing the same job myself, couldn’t find the previous video you referred too about reaming the bushing. A link or name of the video would be most helpful. Your my favorite VW Resto Channel. Thanks for taking the time to make these video’s.

      No, don't think I filmed it but really its the same as whats on here just backwards. Side plate off first then remove the side bolt and tap out the seal plug then the worm drive.

      @@DemopVWgarage ah bummer. I was looking at Wolfsburg West and I don’t see them available on their website. I removed the top of my steering box, cleaned up the sludge inside and put fresh oil. The steering arm moved freely when the cover was off, but once I tightened down the four bolts the arm was hard to move. Any thoughts? Thank you!
