This is one place where I recommend NOT doing it the Bentley way. Just do it all while still attached to the car. It's still a lot of work, though. Are you sure that the bearing need to be replaced? They very seldom fail. If you do replace them make sure to replace the outer one with a roller bearing. A ball bearing there will fail rather quickly. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
