Local or through a mag? I'll be doing the same procedure next week- thanks for the info. BTW- I think the fronts are a whole lot easier. Also- did y'll know that the disk brakes on VW's are made by the same company which supplies Mercades Benz? Yup, the brakes on my 76 Benz were almost exactly like the ones on my 71. Stop real well.
