Crank Gear Puller
2 Replies
Does anyone have a crank gear puller that can pull off the distributor drive gear and cam gear from the crank nose? I was hoping someone could pull it off for me. If can, call me at 284-1871. MahaloContinue

Maybe you can figure out how to wire it up so that one wire is for the parking light…"

It was very easy to use and coated really well, however you must mix it really well before pouring it in. I also bought some new custom made braided brake lines for the front and…"

I've been talking to some people while gathering parts and many say they are interested in my 68 fastback. They always tell me to bring it out to the cruises or shows, but I just feel its not ready yet. Since June, i've been slowly gathering parts to build this fastback into a reliable daily driver. Just thought i'd share with everyone the progress i'm making with slow updates on this build thread.The first set of pictures show the car when I first bought it in June. Pretty much all stock…See More

I have a complete set of rear drum brakes from my 1968 type 3 fastback. These have been replaced with a set of CSP disk brakes and I have no use for them anymore. They worked well before taken off, just very dirty. This will be a great budget upgrade in braking power for anyone with a bug that has upgraded to disk brakes in the front. No need to work with cheap shitty quality rear disk brake kits that don't fit well! These are vw parts that bolt right in with little to no mods at all.…See More
