Subject:      syncro rear main seal
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

Hello-
        I am looking for someone who has pulled the 3 groove pulley on a
syncro and replaced the syncro specific oil seal underneath. I believe I
have a slight oil leak coming from this seal (either this one or the oil
pump, but I cannot really tell) and before I make a home brewed VW 3102
to hold the pulley while I try anything in my means to break that bolt free,
I am wondering if it is possible to replace this seal without the special
VW tool (something like 3162) while the engine is still in the car.


        Also, I heard that this bolt may be loctited in and that I would need
an impact wrench to get it out. Has anyone loctited their 3 groove pulley
bolts in?
