  Welcome to the world of rusty metal cuts and bruises.

    The tranny and RGBs are full of new oil, thanks for all of your input.  I 
had quite a weekend with this 67.  I had previously pulled the motor and 
decided to do as much as I could while I had the easy access.  The engine 
compartment was a dirty mess.  My bus might sit an inch higher in the back from 
all of the caked on grease/oil I cleaned.

    The engine is almost ready to go back in.  Since this is the first time I 
have pulled/dropped an aircooled motor this has been an interesting experience. 
 The way that the engine tin, generator/fan, intake and exhaust system fit 
together is quite a contortion.

    In old age your memory gets not so good.  So when I say off the top of my 
head that means I haven't looked it up and you can take it from my memory, for 
what that's worth.  And by the way, most VW shops carry for cheap the tool he 
needs.  You can also make one out of a 17mm nut, a piece of steel and a bit of 
welding.  Have one special made for the split case tranny 36's which do not 
have enough room to get in beside the tranny to remove the filler nut.

      Does it *HAVE* to be the one off the top of your head, or can Jeff use a 
      different one from somewhere else?

      We'll leave it up to Jeff to figure out what other places one might find 
      a 17mm hex wrench.
