engine pull

The two bottom _nuts_ are accessible from the bottom of the car. They are in front of the engine. Look above the transmission mount "horns" in the back portion of the transmission case.

Puff, puff.... Gotta post this before Jan does:

Is it time for Jan to write an updated version of Muirs "Idiots Guide"

Not taking anything away from John Muirs, some one like Jan should wite an updated version to help out an ever growing interest. As the vehicles are getting older there is much more involved in getting them road worthy and for reasons I can understands more shops catering to aircooled VW's shutting down. I believe the hoodride thing is just because alot of the kids getting in to the aircooled scene are only finding very poor conditioned cars and just throwing them together to drive.

I had a kid stop by in a 65 that was setting on a foot locker looking for a starter so he didn't have to push start his car. No interior no speedo (why is the alt. not charging?) and a leaking master cylinder.

Yes I took his last $50 and gave him a new master cylinder and a speedo, gave him the name of a few books and online sites and sent him on his way. I was reminded that NC doesn't require inspections any more ..:oP

I guess I should get those typos fixed one of these days, too :)

And I still haven't written that article on engine rebuild. I'm STILL "thinking" about it, but if I do it, it will be LONG and detailed. And it would probably piss of some people who do it for a living, giving away "secrets" of the trade. Like, uh, myself :) Why give step by step instructions if it means losing customers who are brave enough to try it themselves... LOL ;)

Let's hope they are there. not left off. a "crime" in engine pull contests at Bug Ins. btw. what is the record time for an engine pull & replace? three and a half minutes start to finish line. I've heard, anyone better that?

there used to be a video on youtube with guinness record on engine swap. Can't find it anymore :(
