You should be able to buy a 36mm socket for a 1/2" drive just about anywhere. The real problem with the flywheel, is holding the crank still while you loosen the nut. I did it once by having a friend put the van in gear and hold the brake while bracing myself against both walls of the van and pulling on a long breaker bar. The Bentley has a description of the proper VW tool, which bolts to the engine mounts and goes in the holes in the flywheel. _________________________________________________________ Bob O'Shaughnessy, Columbus, OH vanagon@columbus.rr.com 99 A3 Jetta TDI 85GL with basic Westy interior 74 Bus (Dad's) 72 Wife, 94 Rabbit, 95 Cat, 96 cat, 98 Kid 52 House |
