Decades ago, gave some sealant to a neighbor for his wife's car. Told him to drive for all least 20 mins. Which he ignored, & made 1 loop of the block. Next morning she called & said her tire was bouncing off the pavement at 10mph! Guess it all settled in one spot, just like I warned him... Go figure, lol! Thanx !
@@ThisWeekWithCars have to look for it, been using tire slime last few years. FixAflat was the problem child, lol! & The tire folks really don't like it, harhar...
Good stuff, I'm planning on restoring a Bronco 2 soon and this is the stuff I need to know! But I'm confused, if you had all this new hardware in the back, why didn't you change out everything?
Basically Elmer’s Glue-All I am sure it would work in some cases. I don't know if it would continuously work like this stuff or if it would dry up quickly inside the tire.
I just replaced my ranger brakes all around. I replaced both wheel cylinders as they had rust where the center spring sits. They probably were OK to reuse but not worth the gamble on the old seals to save $30 for the pair. My biggest problem was the deep ridge that the warn pads made on the drum. I destroyed the keepers pulling the drum off.
That tyre repair kit looks good. They do something like that in Iceland but use fire somehow, same principle I think. Can't think why they didn't get brake cylinders. If you are replacing shoes it is good practice to replace cylinders especially if they look old. They don't cost that much anyway. Thanks for the video Steve, very well explained for those who have never done it.👍👍
This is fuel injected just like my Ranger. The pump I replaced last time is a high pressure pump and there is a lower pressure pump in the tank that feeds the high pressure pump.
I’ve never done that. If you maintain your vehicle properly you would be bleeding all your brakes once a year or two which would keep it loose. If you park your vehicles outside all the time and you drive on salty roads it might help.
Great video ! What about the 1966 Sunbeam Alpine SV - Dakar Rally project ? :) I would love to see more of that ! It would be awesome to see how creative you could get with this car !
What was there is going to work fine and probably last the life of the car. I will save them for later if the Bronco or Ranger or some new project needs them. No sense in wasting new parts that aren't needed.

This stuff stays liquid in the tire so it also works against future punctures as well.

Steve,i once repaired a puncture by pouring pva in from poundland(dollar store).
Worked well and outlasted the tyre.
Cheers.Thumbs up.

great stuff thanks
Thanks for that mate.. I always kept a little wire brush (like a toothbrush) to clean up those pipes before I started. Cheers
Another Awesome Video !!!
yep!
I like the rare car it is
Nice job. I can not remember if you told us or not. But is this a carburetor or injected engine? I asuming it's the 2.9 v6.
This is fuel injected just like my Ranger. The pump I replaced last time is a high pressure pump and there is a lower pressure pump in the tank that feeds the high pressure pump.
I have a few of those gearwrenches but I've only used the box end because I can't figure out how to make the open end work for me. Sigh.
One trick is you have to push them against the bolt or nut so that the head is in as far as it goes, otherwise it does not work well.
Would you agree it's a good idea to take out the new bleed-screw and put some anti-seize on it?

Fair point! Do you think it could do any harm?
Nope as long as you get it torqued tight enough but not too tight 😂
Too tight is when it snaps off flush, right? LOL
What is that spring tool you used? That would be extremely handy for me
You can get one here cheap: amzn.to/3QWHAPu
Thanks Steve!
Will you be doing any body work on the Bronco?
No plans to do that on this one but the green Bronco will be frame of restored.
@@ThisWeekWithCars 👍
The green one is way cooler, but I'm glad someone is saving a II as well because they're good looking trucks
Ah the joys of working on drum brakes, better performance wasn't the only benefit discs brought...
Great video !

If only I could spend my time making these videos but right now I only have a couple hours a day to work on them.
Why didn't you put the new brakes on?
What was there is going to work fine and probably last the life of the car. I will save them for later if the Bronco or Ranger or some new project needs them. No sense in wasting new parts that aren't needed.
@@ThisWeekWithCars ah gotcha. I just like things shiny
Put a 5.0 in it.
