I work pretty hard to save a buck, and keep good German parts out of the landfill, too. There's a good chance that i can gett it apart, but it takes me some time, and while I'm at it I'd recommend that you let me rebuild BOTH of them, just to forestall future problems and get both sides off to an equal start. I have plans to build a pump that will let me get these apart for sure, but I don't have it finished yet.... Once that's done these will be a cinch and we can save all of the old ones in my basement, I hope. In the meantime, I rebuild them for $45 each, and won't charge you anything if I can't do them. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
