Convertible Top Cylinders and Lines Replacement
zhlédnutí 23KPřed 2 lety
In this video I put the rebuilt motor and pump assembly back on my 68 Cutlass convertible. Next, it’s a total replacement of the power top pieces to include hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic lines. While it didn’t start out this way it ended that way. It really wasn’t that bad to replace the necessary parts. So, if you want to see what’s involved please watch the video. You can buy the cylinder...
Convertible Motor and Pump Rebuild
zhlédnutí 12KPřed 2 lety
In this video I demonstrate how I refurbished my convertible top pump and the steps I took to inspect and freshen up the other half the electric motor. The pump rebuild was easy. The electric motor inspection and cleaning was decent but just requires a little of time and patience. I still feel this can be completed by most do it yourselfers.

Man I just went through the same process with my 2012 had my buddy run his scanner and cylinder 2 and 4 were misfiring changed spark plugs and coils among other things that needed replacing and now she idles fine. Thanks for the video. Not to many people explain things to people who no nothing about mechanical stuff 😅
I need a rebuild kit for my 2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring Convertible.
1.6 you mean ?
Very helpful vid thanks
I hope you’re not trying to educate people how to do it on the concrete
set it on a piece of cardboard?
Just bought a 68 cutlass as my first restoration project... I'll take all the help and advise I can get, so thanks !
Why the groove in the rotor?
That groove in the rotor was from the factory it was a wear indicator. If that groove was to disappear or get very shallow you would know it was time to replace the rotor.
Did you just pull the fuel rail really hard to get it out after removing the bolt?
I don't remember having to pull excessively to get the fuel rail out. Just make sure you have all four retaining bolts out.
Seems that you put the belt going different side of the pulley instantly after the alternator main pulley/freewheel? (compare on time stamps 4:38 8:59 )
You have a good eye my friend. I did not put that belt on according to the diagram I showed. The belt is now rolling the different side of the alternator's fixed pulley. She just drove it on 1500 mile trip with no issues. But I will give her a heads up if there is any squealing that could be the cause.
Dan do you have a video on how to replace the side panels to get to the cylinders? Also how can u tell if the pump is ok. I’d rather not replace that if I don’t have to
Sorry I don't have any video but you should be able to see all the screws and remove the window handle and then panel comes off. If the pump turns on and spins most likely it can be saved.
Thank you sir very kind of you. You video was very informative thank you
Nice video. It's good to see someone else having to make several attempts to achieve success with these little projects.
It's been 2 years, are those Chinese parts still working?
Yes all is still working with no issues!
Greast Video. I have owned my 72 Supreme Convertible for 30 years and having the same issue. I tried stacking 2 of the composite gaskets together as I had an extra with a rebuilt carb I got with the car. Helped some but did not correct it. I will order this gasket and try it. I see your dashpot is missing the plunger. My original fell apart last year when I rebuilt the my original carb. Can"t seem to find the correct replacement.
Here is the dash pot you need www.ebay.com/p/179055168 . However it wont be useful if you put on the thick spacer like I did. The carb will not align with it anymore.
Just bought new lines for my 67 GS400 due to wear/breakage. Wasn’t going to replace the cylinders but now thinking twice about it. Thanks.
Amazing video..keep it up!
We will!
What did u have to remove to get to there? I see the belt may be off the alternator, what else was removed?
Right we pre-removed the serpentine belt, and air cleaner. I belive that was it.
Hey Dan - GREAT video! Thanks for the much needed education!
You bet!
Seems to be the season to be doing this on the early Velosters. About to do this myself, although I'm doing it in the opposite order you did kinda. LOL. Coils first, then plugs and I'm about to replace the injectors. It was a good video. Thanks for posting it.
Skipped the part where and how many the bolts come out.
Watched all this just to see how you got it in but of course it gets skipped
Great video brother helped put alot!
U joint
Dan, may I ask for a link to these clamps?
I think these are the same only a different color. www.lowes.com/pd/IRWIN-QUICK-GRIP-2-Pack-12-in-Mini-One-Handed-Bar-Clamp/1003172498
68 olds is the best car ever made ,hands down.🤘
Thank you that was great and realistic how it would be for me also great steps and advice to do it all not just one side
Nice ride! Good job nothings ever a bolt on! I'm having a similar issue. I'm wondering what your thoughts are now. Did the spacer help? Did you have to readjust idle mixture? Thank you.
Yes the spacer took care of the carburetor issue when starting a hot car that has been sitting over 10 minutes. I don't remember having to readjust the carburetor after, but I may have, I just don't remember now.
Great job and thank you for the education!
Thanks for watching!
You could have cut the wire at the corners, it would allow you to hogring the remaining holes..great job!
Great idea!
I have an 81 vette. My drivers mirror is just like this. I looked up the mirror in the assembly manual and it does not show those two interior screws. Unfortunately I need to take my door panel off as well as loosening the glass etc…..big project. Do you think that an 81 vette would have those two interior screws? Thank you
I looked around on eBay, I enlarged one of the pictures and it looked to me there is a screw and maybe a hex head nut in their so it definitely looks like you can tighten it up with one or both of those options.
Thank you. I was in hopes of it being easier…. If and when I get it apart, I am going to make sure that I put some lock tight on the screws
You had to remove both bolts to slide it up. No way you just moved the AC lines enough to get it out.
That is true you remove two bolts, one on the top and one on the bottom. Remove one nut on the top then pull the alternator off the stud and through the AC lines. Sorry the video didn't record the actual removal of the alternator :(
I didn't think it was possible, loosen up the bolt holding both lines then pray and pull...
Thanks for this video sir, much appreciated! I had a rough idea of what parts i needed but your video is the only definitive source for the p/ns of the bearings and seals! Saved me a lot of time and buying and returning parts that " may work" . I'm rebuilding an 8.5'' BOP for my 1970 Buick Skylark to replace the impossible to find parts for Buick one year only axle!
Glad it helped!

Thank you, Just what I was looking for.
Glad I could help!
Dude, what is that gnarly thing on your right hand !
It was a wart, after the third doctors visit, I think the doctor had had enough and super froze that area and gave me a big blood blister. The area is fine now with no evidence left from the trauma.
@@f119045 couldn’t help but notice it from your video which just thought I’d let you know I have a 69 GTO convertible that i’ve been carrying around since 1983 and worked on it when I had money and didn’t when I didn’t have no money which was most of the time but anyway thank you for your video.
Nice Video Dan! One question, do you know if 3inch foam will also work for this?
I am not sure it is hard enough with two inch foam three might be pushing it.
@@f119045 thank you very much!
Thank you very much ! Very helpful
Glad it helped!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
This is exactly what I was looking for! I just busted down the seats for my '68 Impala to do exactly what you're doing. How much do you think you have invested with the seat covers and all of the other stuff to do the job? Thanks for the share! They look awesome!
Did u ever get it done? How much did it cost you?
Does this go for a 1972 Monte Carlo as well
Same process but the measurements will differ because the Monte is a hard top coupe and is a Chevy.
Where did you found all the materials?
The Parts Place, Amazon , and Hobby Lobby.
Thank you so much posting a detail video Dan. This was very helpful, in paticular the segment on the motor disassembly. I have a 66 Impala, and as you mentioned, many pumps are the same and mind is identical to yours. My Fisher manual covered the pump disassembly, but not the motor. I also talked with Convertible Service diectly and will be getting my seals from them and new cylinders and hoses. Thanks again Dan. Brian
Your very welcome
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Going to tackle my 1960 Olds 98 seats.
Why didn't you just replace it with an electric choke? It drops right in to that housing. All you need is a GM 12 volt version of that heat from manifold unit. 1 wire from the ignition start & run, a full 12 volts of course.
That is a good idea, I guess that never crossed my mind.
I have a ‘68 Cutlass S with an after market carburetor and filter. What would the original look like? I can’t seem to find one.
My original would have been a 2 Barrel Rochester carburetor.
