Get a set of those all thread type compressors from JC Whitney or
such. :-) My brother in-law gave me a pair and with an impact wrench
and a little moly grease, it's about as fast as the pneumatic one we
had at the dealer!
The clutch I did in the Subaru went so quickly there was no need
to pull the engine but I did have a little work under the car which I
don't think I'd want to do at 71 either! Dad's almost 80 and he did
some help above, my son pretty much handed tools around for the
reassembly but DID actually help disassemble! No way Dad could've
done the under car stuff. He can barely do the under hood stuff any
more. :-( The hardest part was getting the tranny all the way back
into the engine. Not a tough deal on an transverse VW but probably
about the same on a Dasher or Quantum.
