Curious. http://classicvw.org/gallery/Group-19/kscan_0003?full=1 Factory gives flat rate with the engine removed, but we were a commission shop, and if you wanted to make any money, you learned to do it without pulling the engine. Pull the boot, lock the flywheel, break the bolt loose, pull the tin and outer pulley together, pull the outer fan housing, pull the fan with a puller, replace the missing bolts. Assemble in reverse order. Took about the 1.9 hours that they allow, and you just made the R&R engine time. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
