Door Hinge Question.... by
Ervin Charles
Hey All,
I've got slack in the drivers door hinges on my 76 vert. Is there a tool
available, either store bought or homemade that will allow me to press out
the pins in the hinge instead of beating them out with a punch and hammer?

I am going to haul home the project tomorrow and am wondering what might
be the best way to get the front turning. I noticed that the PO has
unbolted the steering column from the dash assembly to try removing the

remco
Hi all
In furthere stripping of my 75, I found that one cylinder has not been
sitting right on the head because one can tell that this is where it must
have lost compression. When I did a compression test, I found that cylinder

dignity: at the end of the month, it's being sold as scrap.

Exhaust mounted with coil nuts by
Remco
In stripping the axhaust off my 75 bug, I had no choice but to split
most nuts because of rust.
They were all coil nuts for some reason. (nuts with a helicoil inside
-- usually used when high stress applications).

Maybe that's...

The rear brakes on my 67 bug have frozen.

Does anyone have the engine rebuild video from the Bug Me video series
and would like to sell or trade it for something? Please let me know
