This is a great and simple DIY project for you to do at home. • Disclaimer: Use extreme caution when removing the spring plate, as it is held under extreme tension. We highly recommend clearing the area below the Spring Plate of any tools, debris and make certain to stay clear of moving parts during removal. When the Spring Plate clears the housing it will release downward with an extreme amount of force and may cause injury if proper precautions are not taken. • Intro 0:00 • Vehicle Preparation: 0:49 • Rear Shock Removal: 1:07 • Brake Cable Detachment: 1:26 • Torsion Housing Disassembly: 1:46 • Spring Plate Adjustment: 2:15 • Torsion Housing Reassembly: 2:56 • Bump Stop Adjustment: 4:17 • Shock Installation: 4:51 • ------------------------------------------------------------- • Tools used in this video: • Wheel Chocks • Lug Wrench • Jack • Jack Stands • 10mm Wrench • 17mm Wrench • 19mm Wrench • 1/2 Drive Ratchet • 15mm Socket • 17mm Socket • 19mm Socket • Flathead Screwdriver • Center Punch • Sledge Hammer • Utility Knife • ------------------------------------------------------------- • The parts used in this video are: • VW Spring Plate Bushings, Inner and Outer (113-245-L-R) • https://www.jbugs.com/product/113-245... • VW Rear Shock Absorbers, KONI Classic Adjustable (80-1350) • https://www.jbugs.com/product/80-1350... • EMPI VW BRM Wheel, 6.5 Wide, Gloss Black (9729) • https://www.jbugs.com/product/9729.html • EMPI Chrome Stud Nut Kit (9533) • https://www.jbugs.com/product/9533.html • 10x40mm Bolt (Temporary for installing spring plate caps) • 215/75R15 Tires • All parts used in this video are available at: http://www.jbugs.com/ • ------------------------------------------------------------- • Follow us on our social media accounts! • Instagram - / jbugs_california_pacific • Facebook - / jbugsvwparts • Twitter - / jbugsvwparts • ------------------------------------------------------------- • Is the video too fast?
