Always lovely to watch you get your hands on a leaky box,

63 looks great!! If it was me, I'll keep the bumpers and I would buff the car. Keep up the good work!!!

[@jamiedowson6482]

Thanks Hugo 💪

[@smokepeddler]

Nice car man.
Repack the box with grease, not oil.
Asjust the screw just until it snugs then lock it down.

[@jamiedowson6482]

Nice job and something else for me to check on my '63, same color! Definitely keep the bumpers...

[@jamiedowson6482]

Awesome, thanks for the comment. Yes I agree, the bumpers are staying 💪

I had a 66' with a bad steering box, worn and leaking. I put lithium grease in place of the oil. It was better for a while before I put a new one in. Are you sure it is 64'? The side molding is from 67' and later. 64' had the fatter side molding.

[@jamiedowson6482]

Thanks for your comment. I will have to do a complete steering box rebuild video I think one day as never done it.
Yes its definitely a 64, if you look one one of my last videos I feature my 65 and you can see how much bigger the front and rear screens look

[@jamiedowson6482]

My pleasure!

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Looks good.

[@jamiedowson6482]

Thank you ☺

[@kibegitau3256]

What lubricant did you use to fill into the steering box?

[@jamiedowson6482]

I used Penrite steering box lube. There are also other brands that do the trick. Hope this helps. Jamie

[@kibegitau3256]

As far as I know the VW Manual recommends EP 90 transmission fluid to go into the steering box.

[@jamiedowson6482]

Ah ok. I also used EP90 for my Land Rover transfer case and diffs

[@tracywellsted4349]
