If you have the right socket and an extension, you don't need to remove the horn ring either. The socket will fit thru the hole in its center. If you remove the horn ring you also need to watch for the external star lockwashers under the shoulder screws; if you lose one of them the horn will want to blow spontaneously. And, yes, mark the wheel so you can put it back in exactly the same position where you found it. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
