If you're going to put the swing axle back on later, it's best to do it their way. To do it your way you will probably have to disconnect the cables at the front anyway, just because it's hard to disconnect the cables at the rear as long as there is still tension on the cables. I've never done it your way, but I can imagine that it might be possible. If you are installing a different transmission in there then it might be the simplest thing to do. At any rate, it would be smart to get that big nut loose before you remove the transmission from the car, as it's almost impossible to get off once it's off the car, unless you have a really big air impact wrench. That's also the best time to try to get the drum loose. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
