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.

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. "Gerald V.

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