[Vwdiesel] Removing the Engine

[Sandy Cameron]

I have removed and installed engine/tranny combos in several A2s, always out
the top. Never occured to me to lift the car off the engine.

I can usualy drive the car in to the garage, take off the front "clip", rad
etc, drop the axels, shift links, etc, and have it out in 2 hours.
Single handed old fart, with overhead, permanent ceiling-mounted electric hoist.

A bit tricky, have to lift the crank pulley clear of the frame, then swing
sideways a bit to get the tail of the tranny clear on the other side.

Not rocket science.

Sure is easier to work on things like clutches, on the special steel bench I
crafted from an old model 15 teletype table, with added heavy duty casters.
