[Vwdiesel] 1.6 NA SWAP

[James Hansen]

Use a piece of steel brake line to slip over the ends of the springs and 
take them off the metal hook they pull on, assembly is opposite.  Put 
stuff on, then flip the springs onto the levers.
On disassembly, note position of the lever scribed line in relation to 
the small scribe line on the shaft, and duplicate this on the new lever.
So, you put the lever on, with springs etc, then the nut, then with the 
brake line, hook the ends of the springs on so there is tension on the 
lever.
