There was a problem years back that some manufactures of disc's made this hub a little too big on the outside diameter. You might look for this if and when you pull the engine back out. Jim's suggestion for the moly spray lub was a "factory authorized" repair back in the '60's. Just drill about a 8mm hole in the lower bell housing, and get as long a nozzle as you can. -- Russ Wolfe russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
