[Vwdiesel] Injection Pump Replacement This Weekend

[Erik Lane]

Just one last thing. It sounds like you have the special tools, so you're
probably set, but you didn't mention the special adapter for the dial
indicator. It's really hard to do without that. I've actually managed with a
magnetic base and long probe on the end of the dial indicator, but it's ten
times harder that way.

Good luck!
