In every VW book I have read, they cite Ferdinand Porsche as the person who designed the VW Beetle. I ran across some information today that disputes that. It says that an engineer by the name of Josep Ganz was the person responsible, but because he was Jewish, he was forced to leave Germany...

Has anyone removed the rear wheel bearings from a 1977 Bus rear suspension? Can you tap out the old bearings or do you need a puller to get them out?

My heart felt prayers and best wishes to all our friends over in London. Hope none of our RAMVA people have been directly touched by these Horrible events.
