Peter, Popping the engine out for clutch/seal work is probably easier than you think, especially if you've got a decent set of tools and a place to work. (I'm assuming you haven't done a removal/reinstall before?) Your swing axle '66 also makes things simpler, as you don't have to support the tranny and you don't have to work with the rear crossbar. If you read up on the procedure before hand, and gather all of the parts and tools that you'll need, you could pop the engine out on a Friday after dinner, do the actual work Saturday morning, and be cleaning up by the time it gets dark. I haven't actually replaced an engine seal myself -- I'm assuming that removing the flywheel is the trickiest part of that job? You'll also want to replace the clutch plate, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and maybe the tranny seal while you're in there. Give it a shot! -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
