The thing a love about this series is that you show the failed attempts as well. Shows like Wheeler Dealers make it look so easy because they have an expert using a full set of professional tools. This is much closer to reality. Keep it up!
Mooo!!!
that porshe sounds are crazy ;)
Moooo! Cows are vocal today
I can't work under these conditions - Fletcher
I was waiting for a cow to just wander right into the shot there.

The second I saw you drilling that out by hand, I was thinking, "There's no way that's going to be square." I've learned this lesson that hard way, myself. You need to fashion some sort of jig when drilling out holes. In this case, you could make one (using the welder you bought in the previous episode) that screws into the other hole and keeps you square with respect to that.
@@GabrielDiggs Oh yeah, totally agree. He's working on salvage cars, so he doesn't mind trying shoestring-and-bailing-wire techniques. Sometimes, they actually work. He did a great job on the R8 (except for the window, of course)!
Yes, I thought it looked like he was holding the drill crooked ... it is best to use a drill guide and ALSO, a tap guide .. to get both reasonably perpendicular to the mounting surface. Alternatively, the knuckle could have been removed and setup on a mill or mill/drill machine, if he had one ... IMO, a used low cost mill/drill machine is a great investment for anyone doing work like this. I bought a used one for $400, then added some low cost digital read outs for $100 ... th-cam.com/video/3LzINUQI70E/w-d-xo.html
@@KrustyKlown When I've tried to drill stuff that needed to be square, I took my time to make sure the bit looked straight and I STILL ended up being crooked; so yeah, you really cannot eyeball something like that.
I was in front of my monitor screaming "No, don't do it!" when he picked up the drill. At that point he should have removed the knuckle and taken it to a machine shop. It probably could have been gotten out with a mill or an edm machine but if not the machinist could have put the new thread in. Should have expected all the suspension parts to need renewal as soon as he identified them as original. Lucky he can source all these parts.
Should have fitted the caliper first and torqued down the lower bolt and drill through the caliper hole.
Use oil when drilling and tapping. Makes it mucho easier.
You should have bought a Induction Coil to heat up all your rusted or stuck bolts and nuts!
That gives you controlled heating of the material. (Bolt buster is one brand)
Keep showing us more Porsche
Yeah, given the amount of bolts and labor you put in to it the Induction heater will save you loads of headache.
or at least try map-gas until the bolt glows...
Rapidly becoming one of my favourite channels, great work!
911 is rapidly becoming one of my least desirable cars
When tapping, you should be doing one turn in, half turn out and adding oil or some lubricant so as not to damage or heat sear the metal being tapped.
That's awesome that you're getting support by these companies for a shout out. I guess half a million subscribers has it's benefits and that is 100% due to the quality of your work. Way to go SAM!!!
Can’t wait to see this car complete !
please don't change the color this time!
No chickens? The insolence...
Mooooo!
Sam, use dry ice on the bolt. Check with your local grocery store for it. After you tried the heat you were on the right path. Use tongs and cool the blot down and it will bust free. We used this method on my BMW M3 when the oil pressure valve was stuck in the block. Works great if you have a little patience.
Hey Sam! I worked for a bumper recycler years ago. They used to keep tanks of near boiling water for dip plastic bumpers in to the the stress dents to relax. Might wanna give that a thought. A 55 gal drum cut height wise, a couple of wooden braces at the end and a campfire underneath might do it for ya.
Sam, love your channel and I really dig that you engage with us by actually talking to the camera... you seem very at home like you are conversing directly to us... it is a fantastic feel for your vids. I also wanted to say that you have a natural way of speaking that makes watching enjoyable... you don't stutter, use uh, um or like often if at all, and you speak fluently about what you are doing. It makes for VERY compelling content. KUDOS!
I have never in my 40+ years of cars and motorcycles, seen a helicoil repair work as good as having the proper threaded hole/bolt. Good thing you replaced the entire knuckle. Much better repair. Looking forward to the rest of the repairs on that 911.
Great job. I'm so glad you are a humble and transparent person... It makes me feel good that I'm not the only one who starts a half day project that turns into a month long complete tear-down/re-build.
I didn't watch the next episode yet, but I'd say you may have an issue with with welding the bumper. Typically bumper covers are polyurethane (not a true thermoplastic like poly-polypropylene or polyethylene (or polycarbonate)). Good luck. Better off with thin aluminum patch with pop-rivets (as long as you have a not-very visible area).
Really enjoyable watching.

I have this same helicoil set and you’ll come to love it when things actually go the way you want them too, it’s saved my butt a couple times!
Just and FYI!!! When you start in on plastic welding the bumper make certain that you drill a small hole where the crack in the plastic ends. this is to insure the crack has no way to continue on if stressed. afterwards just plastic weld the hole in and proceed with the body work. Keep up the good work!!!, its looking great!!!
I’ve done a helicoil on steel, aluminum, and magnesium. It’s a life saver and both a lost art and a lost tool. Thanks for showing.
On the tool you use to put the helicoil in with, there is a ring with an allen grub bolt in it, move that down to the top of the helicoil before you put it in, and then you can press down on the tool without stretching the helicoil.
Im addicted to samcrac

Sam, use never-seize compound when you put the new knuckle in. It will prevent that galling that ruined the old knuckle.
A good tip I learnt from an instructor that taught me how to tap a hole is a turn in, 1/2 turn out and keep on going like that. It makes sure that the metal that has been cut into is broken off and you'll get a clean thread.
Keep up the good work Sam. Appreciate your shared experiences.
Ive been thru that stuff before,sometimes the best way to do that type repair is to take the knuckle out and use a drill press and line up everything, also PB blaster sprayed on parts to loosen them works, but there are environment issues using those products
I’m learning a lot just watching. Thanks!!!👍
For those of you interested I believe he's referring to HVLP Paint Turbines. I work in a body shop and this is all we use. Very affordable machines and save on time and product.
Plastic welding can deliver a good result, I've done this on my BMW 330i ZHP front bumper mount that was broken off. Just make sure you are using the correct welding rod media compatible with the polymer your bumper is made of. Keep up the good work of saving this future classic!
Happy to see some high quality parts for the suspension!
It looked like your drill bit was not perpendicular to the mounting surface when you drilled for the helicoil, always tricky.
Drill press ... and lose the cows
Yeah, good job for the local machine shop.
Appreciate your good attitude even when things don't go right!
When you install helicoil you buy the expensive kit, you also take off the part and mount it secure in a drill press or a mill and properly measure so that you do not get an offset hole.
Nice work Samcrac. I started plastic welding a few years ago on used chainsaws with a soldering iron. I use it for all plastics now. You can do it.
lol FCPEURO is making a huge advertisement move. Kudos to them. If anybody is from the NorthEast / Connecticut; I highly suggest going in person in pick up your parts in Milford, CT. As soon as you walk in, you're going to go home and see if they're hiring. That's how awesome the place is.
When cutting the new threads with the tap it helps to go clockwise a quarter turn then anticlockwise. This helps remove the swarf and provide a cleaner cut. Also use of a lubricant helps. Just for future reference lol. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your channel.
Great work Sam!
Greetings from Stuttgart
wow love watching your rebuilds Sam. keep the fresh content coming
For stuck fasteners, I find that soaking the area with penetrant oil for a day or two, then tapping the top of the fastener to set up a rhythm that helps break it free, lastly a good impact gun makes things a lot easier to get rusted parts apart
Oh this little spring. I have the same break system on my BMW and had to replace it. It's no fun to do it with the wheel hub still attached. So check if your rear wheel bearings are still good. If not, pull them and the break assambly will be much easier.
So far great work on all your projects. Love your channel!
Cars are not my thing but the way you teach is awesome . I'm truly hooked
Sam your doing a great job on the Porsche! Soon you will be taking it our for it's first test drive! Thanks for he excellent video & content!
It's great you share this with all of us, I've learned alot watching your vids, now I feel confident to fix my car now
Nice Work looking Forward to it finished and on the road.
This is how tavarish vids USED to be, right to the point!
Thank you!!
While I was stationed in Germany, I came across so many siezed suspension parts, I started to use silver anti-sieze on absolutely everything... High five to FCP for solid advise.
It's SO amazing that you all this with simple hand tools!
If you need to freehand drill, put a block next to the hole as a guide. Helps keep the bit atleast a little perpendicular.
Acetylene torch!!!! Drill hole in the broken bolt piece as big as you can without touching the threads, place wet rags all around the piece, and blast a small portion out. It will come out with a pick afterwards. Living in Michigan, I have to do this A LOT!!
Wow i really love the caliper color you choose. They look a-ma-zing!
Thanks for the video, I enjoy your builds
Thx for fcpeuro there the truth. Awesome prices and of course lifetime warranty on everything
Yes! can wait for you to review the turbine system. I Hope it's a Fuji HVLP 2 turbine system that Amazon Sells for $430. I've had my eye on it for months but waiting for someone to do a Automotive review on it, only seen people use it to stain wood or paint houses.
I want to respray the bumpers on my cars but don't want to pay a Body Shop to do it, don't have the space for a full size compressor so if the Turbine works well that would be perfect for me.
Glad you are making progress on your Porsche, I ran into the same problems working on a 20+ year old cars that I've tried to fix myself, broken bolts, shot suspension parts. It's refreshing to see other people who are not mechanics and not ashamed to show that they run into the same challenges. Luckily we don't have rust issues here in Hawaii, but rubber does tend to dry out fast.
Excited to see all the cool stuff you do to your cars, and I watch almost every video you put out.
my man Sam! Loving this project and been waiting on this video!
Good call on the thread locker, I always do that too.
Porsche looking good
A quick tip that might help in future is always try tightening the nut first before undoing it. Quite often it will break off any corrosion down the thread enabling it to be removed without shearing. Still use plenty of penetrating oil. Great video series, really enjoying them.
always fun and informative.
Definitely one of my favorite TH-cam rebuild channels!
in situations like this with old steel bolts and screws in alloy you should always heat the bolt and spray penetrating oil on before you put a spanner on, another tip with stiff bolts is to slightly tighten the bolt yes tighten(slightly) before you try to loosen it, just small tips iv'e learned over the years.
another tip is get a repair manual (haynes) or american alternative, they will show you important things like the correct order to do jobs which can matter, they also show you pitfalls like reverse threaded nuts and bolts which you might have stripped off if you did not know about it, another good thing about manuals is they show special tools and even how to make them.
Love watching these videos inspirational
After suffering severe withdrawal symptoms when Edd China left Wheeler Dealers I started looking for a replacement. At first I thought that Hoovie's Car Wizard might be the replacement, but not really. It's Samcrac! Just like Edd China, he's very good technically and explains things very well. These types of show normally have two people - a buyer and a fixer upper. Sam does it all on his own, and he does both parts very well. I'm really enjoying these videos and can't wait for the next one. A million subscribers by the end of 2019?
Looks like u got it coming along sam
Love where this is going
Great video Sam and fcp is awesome for hooking you up....
you can try using a can of "P.B Blaster", just spray the bolts first let it sit for 5 mins then try to un-tighten them, usually works, if it is rusted very bad then most people will put heat to it by using a torch!
You should of taken the knuckle off and set it up in your Bridgeport. Then you could of indicated it all exact like, and got your hole in the right spot
Boy the way you work! For a guy who has never really worked on cars though you get through it.
Drilling by an open brake pipe end. Cool !
Love these videos bubba keep it up!!!!
When you are repairing the front bumper: To make sure the crack will not grow over the years, drill holes at the ends of the crack before welding. And it might be good to reinforce the cracks on the invisible inside.
reminds me of my day. i work on the mh53e and on deployment, so parts take forever to get here. my ground idle cable finally got here today, so i took the nut off the old one and the adjuster clip inside the nut was cracked in half... looks like i gotta wait another month for a clip ha
Looking wicked m8 well done
I love FCP Euro!!
I have the same China kit. 😁👍 It is okay... the Helicoils are not that good. But for 2-3 times a year it is more than enough. 😬
My tip to get the broken bolt out, is to Drill it out with a LH (Left Hand) Drill. It might catch the bolt while drilling and turn it out.
Cheers from Germany
Get yourself a good set of cobalt drill bits Sam. They'll cut through almost anything. You should have been able to drill out the old bolt with no damage to the threads. Then chase the threads with a tap set to clean the threads.
Try investing in some EZI OUTS they have a left handed 'thread' that when screwed into a hole drilled into a broken bolt, backs the broken bolt out while tightening it's self in.Saved me in many broken bolt situations. This is a first choice as it saves the original thread.
I have tried ez-outs over 20 years. they all snapped off and left me with drilling out hardened steel.
@@dixoncider7256 -Must of been cheapies.I've never broken the brand i use, Sutton, but even if it broke, lifetime replacement warranty.Most pro brands have lifetime warranty.
@@nssherlock4547 yes, they were cheap ones.
Great project. I like that you get your hands dirty.
Here we go again !
Its 🍿 time !!
I use to use a cross vise and a level. The more ridge set up the better the results. Any movement on the vise your hole will be off. I had a set of tools for taps when did them by hand that would square them off to the surface. I used to use a insert that and I sorry can't remember that had 2 stakes to drive down to lock in the inserts never had one come out.
Hey Sam! Trying to get caught up on your videos, and I know this is an older one. Maybe you've already addressed this but...
When working on an older car, especially one from a salt state like this Porsche appears to be, it is crucial to remove any suspension components, or other rusty bolts and nuts, with an impact. $80 with coupon from the discount Chinese tool store gets you a damn good 1/2" impact air gun that I swear by, powered by a 21 gallon compressor from them.
Using it prevents broken and stripped stuff much like the punch screwdriver to remove brake rotors screws. Using it initially, or even on the welded nut, would have prevented that knuckle mishap.
By the way, most auto part stores have universal drum brake / parking brake repair kits that come with those springs x2 for about the cost of a decent coffee
Sounds like we experience here in Ontario, Canada
Mooo....love your work man...
Yellow brake calipers were an amazing idea
Front suspension creaking is a common problem on 90-100K mile 986/996. Caused by wear on those ball joints - good thing to replace at this time
Galling is not cold welding, galling happens when you screw a bolt in and the threads gall up or get smashed and lock into each other
What you’re experiencing is probably rust “welding” where the rust in the threads shrinks the hole or expends the bolt
Best bet is a real oxygen acetylene torch and a rose bud to cherry the metal and if you expect an issue, hit the bolt head with a hammer a few times which will help knock the corrosion loose and release the bolt
Also if the bolt moves a little and tightens up, go back and forth on the bolt to loosen it up, pbblaster helps as well
Cheers
Galling is super common on boats with lots of aluminum fittings and stainless bolts. It is a curse. One thing that works seems to be liberal application of Kroil penetrating oil, persistent tapping, gentle heat AND patience. Takes a couple days sometimes but always seems to work. Drilling out steel bolts in aluminum housings is usually a disaster.
After time, you won't break so many fasteners. You'll learn to get the feel for it and just kinda know it's about to happen, gotta break a few to learn though! Keep up the good work! Love the videos
Make sure on the plastic welding that you melt the stainless screen into nice and deep! It will totally work. I did it to my Raptor 2 years ago and is perfect still.
Cutting fluid will help in drilling and tapping metal objects like that knuckle.
On old cars you always need to douse the bolts in wd40 etc on the parts you are going to removed for a few days in a row before you tackle them and always try to tighten first clockwise before backing it off. Works 99% of time, trust me I do old Alfas!
If you have not done the plastic welding yet, use some fiberglass during the welding process to reinforce the weld. Heat work fiberglass into bumper then add more plastic over it.
The HF plastic welding kit comes with a generic plastic welding rod that works okay with a variety of plastics, but it doesn't fully bond and melt in with the plastic. If you can identify the type of plastic used in the bumper, get some plastic welding rods made from that material. Use that and embed stainless steel mesh for a strong repair.
That's actually funny, I've done exactly the same helicoil fix on my car last weekend, it was a skoda fabia, I actually used exactly the same helicoil as you too, it's very easy to do and it saved me 100s
Love the videos as always - Just started out making car videos, I'm hoping one day I'm as successful as yourself! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for finally saying Porsche correctly!
Ive used turbine sprayers for refinishing wood furniture. It works really well with water based finishes. I came here to say that you should check to see if your sprayer will heat up the material you're spraying. Mine definitely did. Not sure if this is just a thing turbines do or if it was by design as heating up water based stuff makes for a better finish. Something to think about when choosing materials to shoot through it. Final result aside I personally wouldn't want to shoot a flammable lacquer with a machine that heats it up.
Great video!
Nice to see the Porsche moooving a long
a good tip from a Jeep workshop you should buy an induction heater from car-o-line, that is the best tool to heat up bolts, i always use it when the bolts cant get out :)
your best bet would have been to get that knuckle to a machine shop initially. it would have been cheap to get that bolt out.
