That carbon brush should have a smaller diameter "peg" on its upper end which can be captured in the spring inside. You just have to push and turn to get it to engage. If you don't have that peg, then it is possible that the brush has broken in half and is now useless. If so, I think ALL Bosch caps use the same brush. VW even carried the brush alone as a replacement part. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
