Doing this job brake job today on my 3.2 1989. I have to say, even with the stress and wondering if I will do the right? Your voice and love for your 911 was reassuring. Wish we had more people in the word like you. Stop and smell the roses ! Life is too short..
Just buy one and LIVE the dream. I got my 87 Carrera 25 years ago for under $20k and now it's worth about 80-100k. I still prefer the handling and drivability of my 944 turbo, but not the maintenance (timing belts) so much.. No, I'm not some rich guy that has a lot of money to buy toys. I found good deals on them and I'm a mechanic that can do all the maintenance and repairs myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford them, that is if I had to pay someone for repairs and maintenance.
One of the best instruction videos for a long time! Not 10 minutes with bla bla before they start doing the work. Easy to follow and pleasant and good instructions! I will use this video for my 73 911 brakes this weekend. Thanks a lot!
Our experiences have been very different! Whenever I have a choice between flaring brake lines and spraying gasoline directly into my eyes, I always go with the gasoline! 😂
Herr fingers, Your videos are some of the very best I have looked at on you tube, everything is precise and the care that you take is so impressive. You are so organized and thorough, meticulous and patient with every issue in your fabulous restoration! I'm also most impressed with your clean working environment, it's reflected in the high quality work that you do. The overall production of your videos are of the highest standards; camera positioning, lighting, music and of course your verbal dialog. Your 911 is very beautiful!
nice. beautiful engineering back then. the alloy carrier of the disc allowed even better heat dissipation and a lower rotational mass. every kid knew, that the porsche brakes are good, but your video shows how nice the details were thought through. oh and thanks for the tips on brake lines - it encourages me to do them the next time by myself
Einfach nur faszinierend. Ein besseres Video ist nicht mehr möglich. Die Kamera Einstellungen, das Licht, der Schnitt und Musik ist aussergewöhnlich. Später noch alles nachvertonen und in Englisch für die gesamte Welt zu erstellen ist Wahnsinn. Porsche kann das als Ausbildungsvideo verwenden. Ich glaube niemand weis wieviel Arbeit dahintersteckt. Die eigentliche Mechanikerarbeit, das verwenden der richtigen Teile die Abwägung manches wieder herzurichten oder mit Orginalteilen zu restaurieren ist mehr als professionell! Chapeau Neben dem ganzen Müll auf You Tube ist das ein Highlight Danke dafür, dass man das kostenlos ansehen darf! Noch eins Sich als Person nicht in den Vordergrund zu setzen, so wie man das immer wieder sieht auf You Tube Ist auch ganz große Klasse Grüße aus Rosenheim nach Landsberg
A point to mention, for anyone making their lines is that handheld flare tools are either SAE or DIN - which relates to the type of flare that is created. DIN is required for Porsche and other European cars. (SAE for US and Far East). Yes, you know how I learnt this 😅! Colin.
Nice simple tools for (double) flaring and bending the brake lines. For anyone attempting to do this, just remember to put the nut on and keep it at the end before you bend the line.
Every time I see the way you work is on another level. Making the fuel line etc. I replace all my calipers but not as detail and perfection in the way you work. 👍
Recently ran across your video series on your Porsche and can’t help myself but watch it over and over again like you would do with one of your favorite movies or tv series. Amazing production quality content over a subject that has deeply influenced and my love for Porsche. Love your attention to detail, absolutely the way I would handle every single nut and bolt and part on a car like this. Will be looking forward to more videos, thank you for being such an awesome representative to an amazing piece of automotive historical excellence.
I've seen a few guys do the brake pipe flaring with power tool rather than a hand cranked socket. They said that the smooth, constant and straight pressure applied to the tip of the flaring tool that does the work by the gun is superior to the possibly wonky winding when done by hand. Not tried this myself though.
The fiber optic wand makes an appearance. I bought one a couple of years ago for $25 on Amazon-perhaps /probably not as nice as yours but I use it for inspecting cars during a PPI or when I[m selling a car to verify the condition of the inner door or the rocker panels. It's an essential tool at my place
Amazing work as usual!. I love your paper covering technique on the tie rod end!! Very clever. Now you need to get back to work on the Giulia please! :)
Super clean and fresh paint always looks better on those parts behind your wheel people get lazy, they don’t want to keep their undercarriage nice. I’d like to try that dry ice mini blaster thing it does an awesome job what do you think?
Well, it seems that you are not the only one with strange habits like bending brake pipes instead of going out with girls... There are a lot of us, that are watching you doing this, instead of going out! Great work mate, cheers.
Another in a series of excellent videos. Of course, I cringed when I came to the pressurized brake bleeder section. Several years ago I used one without first clamping off the overflow tube. Duh! Thanks for the reminder of my stupidity. 😝
Couple of questions/remarks: a) so would you recommend silicone brake fluid then? b) I think there are better and also cheap bending tools for the brake lines, your lines look a bit "flat" where bent c) the best "hobby" brake bleeding system I used so far was "eezibleed" which uses the tire pressure. Maybe worth a look. Cheers and thanks again for the great vid!
Thanks for the feedback! a) No, I’m the “I fill in what the manufacturer tells me to” kind of guy. b) There certainly are! c) Thanks for the tip. Mine came with an inlet for the compressor, but I don’t use it as the little pumping doesn’t bother me.
Johannes you surpass yourself with every new video. My two favourite TH-cam channels are yours and Ryan’s FortNine. Jewels in a sea of dross. And I expect a cut flower arrangement at the climax of every project.
Great work and video. Have you had any issues with the brake lights not working after bleeding the brake fluid? I did on my 1984 carrera. I had a shop replace the 2 (I think there are 2) brake light switches on the master cylinder and all is now well. I read that loosening the brake light switches and bleeding them could possibly also rectify the non brake light operation issue.
Thanks, glad you liked it. I heard about the problem, but didn’t have it myself. I’ve once loosened these switches to get access to the space behind and was surprised about the fact that they have conical threads to seal.
Das Radlager kann man wunderbar einstellen mit montiertem Rad. Damit hat man auch genug Hebel, um den richtigen Punkt zu finden. Steht so, glaube ich, auch in der Rep. Anleitung.
Hello again, that brake assembly is interesting. Now I understand when people say that porsche uses wheel spacers from the factory, they are talking about that extra piece that fits on the brake rotor. I must ask please tell me about that wonderful disc cutting tool that you use in many of your videos, I have never seen anything like it and I must have one! I can't see the name from the videos :)
Welch eine Freude Dir zuzusehen! Die Radnabe erinnert mich an mein VW 1303 Cabriolet und den Überlaufschlauch könnte man vielleicht mit einer kleinen Leimzwinge zusammendrücken, oder?
Danke! Ich freue mich übrigens stundenlang, manchmal tagelang über solche Feedbacks. Ja, es gibt 1000 Wege das zu tun und der mit der Zange ist eigentlich ein Witz. Aber ich mach’s halt schon immer so. 😀

Hi Greasy, love your work, wit, and wisdom. I have an '84 Cab and was wondering if I could ask you some questions about the ongoing cleanup? Can I call you, text, email, visit? Heck, I'm only in Chicago, but I was in Denmark as my son played pro volleyball in there.
If it lost pressure it means that at some point brake fluid has escaped the system. Could be anywhere, but traces of the brake fluid will mark the spot where it happened.
Watching your videos is so relaxing...makes me wonder why in my case, doing the same jobs you are doing, is sometimes so stressful...Indeed you could work on my car anytime as well... Is it too much asked if you could list the brands of the material you are using ? I would just buy the same stuff you have, to bend the line, to pressurize the system; etc......why would I search the internet for hours and then buy the wrong stuff, if I see that you are using it successfully ? you can make publicity if you are happy with the tools you use...perfectly happy with that...
@@GreasyFingers meaning that you will be able to post a list of 'used materials and tools' at the end of the video ? or can we send you an email request ? what do you prefer ?
@@gerardfields1615 Yeah, I’m setting up a collaboration with an online tool store where you can buy all the stuff I’m using, film by film. Till this is up and running, please feel free to drop me a mail.
I was shown to leave just detectable play in these wheel bearing types with the wheel on, top and bottom, just the barest rock detectable. Too tight and the bearings fail prematurely. I haven’t seen them ‘preloaded’ before. 🤷
@@GreasyFingers perfect, it’s a bit of a learnt art to slightly over tighten then back off, takes a couple of ‘rocks’ back and forth to settle the bearings and then get the free play right. Too tight and the roller bearings skid on the races, too loose and they can knock and cause hammering damage to the races. Hopefully you don’t mind the comments, they are as much for your viewers as you and don’t wish to teach you to suck eggs… you obviously have a lot of skill and time served 👍
@@jamest5149 Constructive feedback like yours is always welcome, no worries. To cover all aspects of these cars is a science of its own and I certainly don’t have the claim to master this science.
The play is determined by putting the tire on the wheel and rocking it from an up and down motion, Then after the car has been driven repeat the same procedure, cretin.

Fantastic techniques and all the right tools for the job! Little greasy fingers learnt that hydraulic oil isn't paint stripper :)
Mom told me when she saw the mess in the bathroom.
Giving the calipers and brake lines a tap when bleeding brakes helps dislodge tiny air bubbles 👍
