Sean,


At risk of referring to the wrong generation of vanagon, I can address the
bleeding.  I suspect that yours is not a waterboxer since you have a
Haynes.  Mine is an '85 GL.


I had no particular difficulty with the replacement.  The Bentley says a
power bleeder is necessary.  Not having one, I just pumped the pedal a lot
at the beginning to get things started ... perhaps twenty press/open
bleed/close bleed/release cycles.  A two person operation for sure.  After
these initial cycles to get the first fluid flowing, the thing bled as
expected.


Mike
