I'm not sure how the earlier mufflers are (never seen one), but what you're describing sounds normal for the late setup I'm familiar with -- the pre-heat exchangers (mini heater) are sepearate and removable from the muffler itself; the big nuts are for removal. Provided they aren't solidly rusted together, that is. =) Me, I'd put some antisieze on the threads (means taking them off temporarily), leave them loose until the muffler is mounted (for alignment ease) and then tighten them up. But I am by no means an expert. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
