TAKING STEPS BACKWARDS!! 1963 CHEVY C10 RESTORATION DAY 121

well hopefully I'm not the only thing coming out of this garage today hey everyone welcome back to the channel I'm Chris and this is restoration rescue and like you heard we hope we're not the only thing leaving this garage today so what we plan on doing today is getting this thing set up to drive and the main thing that we need to do is get brakes so we have our new hydraulic brake line kit uh flaring tool kit which we're going to show you guys how to use it's actually really cool I did practice ahead of time and fix one so now we have to go ahead make new line and fix it so this is the old one and you can just see how pathetic of a flare that looks and we're going to make it look like this one which you could tell looks 100% better and that's because of this so let's go ahead hop towards the bench I'll show you guys how we're going to use this one to make our flare and go ahead and flare some new lines all right so here we we are over at the table and we have our hydraulic brake flare kit we have some stuff to go with it that we are going to need so that we can flare this thing so the first thing we need to do though is get rid of that old ugly flare this new toolkit did come with a new cutter we're going to use that we're going to get this set up and we'll get to showing you how that does it so here we are at the bench with our new hydraulic brake flare kit so we have this which is meant for the 316th line we have two little fittings here this one's kind of snuck in the back but that's going to help us make our flare and we have a new cutter so we have our line and we need to cut this off so let's go ahead we're going to cut that little thing off so that we can make a new flare so there you have it we have our old flare off out the way and now it's time to get this thing set up so this is where it gets a little tricky but make sure before you do anything you have your fittings on so that you don't have to redo this so what we need to do first and foremost is get the right stuff so right here is the correct size for our flare which is a 36 on the side of it you can kind of see it I don't know yep there it is the 45 Dee inverted flare so what we need to do is take our line so we are going to put it inside our our BR braake line inside so you want to get it out a little bit line it up and just get it set where it is now it's okay to be a little bit over it's not the end of the world so what we need to do is get our tool out and we are going to open this up and put this inside now you have this right here and this is what's going to line everything up so we're going to slide this over and we're going to push everything together so that's going to line up about the depth of what we need now we just tighten it up pretty much as tight as you can and now we're set now what we need to do is take our inverted flare which is right here which again this if you can see it let's flip it over so we can read together 316 45 degree inverted flare and we are going to pull this thing out so we have more room going to put our tool in and we are going to tight tighten this up until it gets close and make sure it lines up with the hole all right so now that it's in we're going to come here close the Hydraulics and I was got to go one more tighter it looks like and start pumping and then pump until you can't so now we can't and now we're going to flip it back over open this up and it's going to release that chalk and then we can unscrew it now what happened in there is we began and made pretty much a bubble flare I don't know if you guys can see down in there but once I remove this right here that's the only problem with this thing it's a little bit of a pain to get it off so we'll pull that out and if you can see down there there is the beginning of a bubble flare now we are going to take this which as you can see just is what's going to make the bubble flare so it's like the end of the other tool so we'll put that in there tighten this in make sure it goes inside flip this over real quick close this tighten this down go until we can no longer go forward which it's there flip this over open the Hydraulics and then unscrew this and you'll have a perfect flare pop out this and now we can I'm going to retighten this so this doesn't go all over the place so we can kind of hold the head but if you can see in there we have a flare so now let's tighten that up hold this and loosen this you can get rid of this thing pop this out and as you can see you have a perfect flare so this thing is am amazing looking a 45° inverted flare that looks absolutely incredible we'll get our end up there and you could see that thing looks amazing we probably could have went a little bit further on our bubble flare but that still looks good we'll get this thing hooked up to the truck continue on with the other ones and get this whole thing flared [Music] out [Music] so we have now come up here we've gotten all the lines in got all the flaring done and all the lines are set and now we have no leaks for now so now what we need to do is we need to go across around each break and start bleeding because there's going to be a lot of air that's been left in for the past couple weeks so let's go ahead and have somebody who doesn't want to be on the channel uh start bleeding these brakes with me so let's go ahead and do it well we tried to bleed all day and of course the rears will not bleed correctly and we still don't have pedal now we attempted to start to drive it and back it out of the garage uh the shifter linkage in the column uh fell apart again so I was trying to get that taken care of and I went down and looked down at the bottom and I couldn't move any of my gears now even after taking apart that shifter it still won't move inside the transmission so I believe we have now blew up our transmission so now what we're going to do is I'm going to jack up the rear end unlock the drive shaft and we're going to go see if we blew this thing up really bad so we're going to open this thing up we're going to get the drive shaft off drop the trans and we're going to take a look at this thing all right so we have everything torn down and I don't know you can tell but there's no damage in here and now the transmission is moving perfectly fine except when we get into that high gear which believe is very reverse um actually I don't even know if that's supposed to I'm supposed to engage all the way at the top I'm going have to do some reading and investigating on this we're going to try and get you guys in here so hold on all right so you can see we have this one right here and that is rotating an assembly down here we also have this in here if we go too far then it gets caught so now when I opened this up I also noticed that the um shift selectors weren't on the correct pieces so one we need to keep that up this shift selector was jumped off this one was over here so that's part of the issue however when I took that off I still couldn't move it and now what we found is that the um pivot point for the clutch the um I can't remember the name of the bearing it popped off so the power that we got in here popped off that um bearing and made it so I couldn't even move up here because this had gotten all jammed so what we need to do is we pretty much need to put this thing back together get that P point back in and get it all back together so thankfully we didn't lose a CL transmission we just lost a little piece so this is all normal this is when you're going to shift into reverse then down here is first so reverse is also here so I believe this is reverse and then down here is first and then if we move this all the way up and back up here this is either going to be first or second uh and our high gears so thankfully we've avoided some major catastrophe um which is good we got to clean this material up get a new gasket which we're not going to run a gasket like we did last time I going to run a new bit of RTV get this cleaned up and then get the cap back on which is currently sitting under the truck however that is going to be a next week kind of job as we have run out of time today I have been out here for almost 10 hours trying to get these brakes situated and getting this transmission now out of the truck and find out what's wrong really really simple problem for something that should never have happened now what I need need to do up front and we'll switch up to the front real quick all right so the shifter linkage is giving us some problems as well as this isn't tight enough and this popped off creating and I believe that's what caused when this struck that it caused our little um bearing in the transmission not or to pop off so we need to get these tighter so that this doesn't happen again get that bearing back together get the transmission back in sealed and get it back in the truck again that is unfortunately going to be a next week project I still have issues with my brakes I'm pretty sure at this point I'm going to bring in an expert to try and help us figure out why my pedal just won't work like I I look at the back breaks and we have breakes however they don't give the pedal pressure so like I said we have dodged a major bullet and that was losing the transmission so the transmission is okay I just need to get it put back together get that side panel in make sure I can shift up there which I had it off and it did that I think when it got hit when all that got messed up it jumped and it made my shifting all crazy so we got that put back together uh we will get that put back together get that back on the transmission get that back into the truck fill the transmission up with fluid and then stab it back in get the differential in and hopefully get this thing to where we can drive again but then we still have our brake issue which again I believe what I'm going to do is I am going to bring in some experts people who know breaks inside and out and the what I am facing I may need the re bench bleed maybe that's my issue I don't know I just can't understand why I have front pressure but I don't don't have rear pressure maybe it's a failing master cylinder that I purchased brand new out of the box but we just don't know we've adjusted the travel we've adjusted everything you can think of I have pretty much gone through almost eight cans of brake fluid maybe that's a little bit of exaggerating but we're getting close might as well order and buy a company that makes break fluid definitely buy some stock in it but that's for another issue so that is going to be a wrap for today's video we have done quite a bit of work here today unfortunately again we have failed we have failed quite a bit at this channel but that's what makes it fun we failed on the 454 we blew it up we have failed hundreds of times on this truck uh one of the big failures is that it's not done yet uh it is coming along we're going to get to grinding a little bit more getting that all set up getting this thing ready for primer and hopefully getting this thing driving again but again we'll see you guys next week when we're back here on [Music] Saturday
