Subject:      Anyone have the VW piston wrist pin puller?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Does anyone in the Seattle area own one of the specialized tools for
pulling the piston wrist pin on a Waterboxer?  If you have one of these
goodies and are willing to lend I would be eternally grateful.  Otherwise
it's off to the VW dealer tomorrow to order one.


Re-installing the cylinders on a Waterboxer is a pain in the
posterior.  They were too wedged into the cylinder head to leave them in
place when I removed the right head to replace a poorly installed water
jacket gasket (which was installed improperly 6K ago by a shop of good
reputation in Berkeley!).


Cheers.
Rob
