Hi Folks, well I finally got my heads off. Lots of tapping and heat required to remove the stuck cylinder liners. Unfortunatly, we accidently pulled the cylinder liner closest to the water pump off. Has anyone ever compressed the rings and slide on the cylinder liner with the piston still attached? If so, how? Or has anyone removed the piston in the conventional manner without any special VW tools? Please help. Thanks in advance, Tony. |
