I have removed Vanagon gas heaters many times- the easiest way is to roll the vehicle on it's side. this way takes about two-three hours. Getting underneath takes longer. If you put it on it's side- remove the under dash components, the rear air intake screen and metal cover, harness and tank filler neck first. the rear blower above the trans will be easier to remove with the van on it's side also. A cordless drill is handy, a wire cutter, pry bar for dealing with the filler neck ,10 and 13 mm sockets and wrenches,phillips and flat screw drivers and a small sledge hammer. Make sure you get the fuel line "t" also. Robert 1982 Westfalia
