And how can I clean oil from drum and pads? Here's the trick: Put the rear end on jackstands. Remove ONE wheel and the 2 small bolts. Start up the car and put it in 2nd gear. Speed up the engine and drive the wheels fast. Slam on the brakes. The rust will break loose and the drum will be free. Fix that side and put everything back together, including putting the wheel and tire back on. Then repeat for the other side. > Finally, because a water leak from under the doors, there is mildew on > anterior carpets. How can i remove it? First fix the leak. Do you know about cleaning out the water drain hoses? Once the floor stays dry for a time I think the mildew problem will go away on its own. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
