Have to ask. :=) If you don't have the proper tool, use a short 3/8" extension (3" long) on the end of a 6" or longer extension. Then use a steel or brass hammer. I drive them towards the center. There will be some varnish on the pins. This is why they can be stuborn. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
