It is a Westfalia. > Z zolt, i know that youve had your share of westys and that you already know you have to swival the seat around backwards and slide it to the front and the factory clamp is held down with a 13mm, so we wont go into that.. as far as being stuck, its prolly stuck on the cables jammed down at the sides.. you can buy battery removal straps, those are great if there is something to hook it onto..sometimes the batteries have provisions for the straps.., i just made one myself.. i used the clamp on battery terminal clamps from old battery cables, cut the cables off, and tie a nylon rope between them. then clamp them to the terminals, then lift the rope.. make sure you use a ROPE though.. :) chris |
