The two bottom _nuts_ are accessible from the bottom of the car. They
are in front of the engine. Look above the transmission mount "horns" in
the back portion of the transmission case.

I would suggest purchasing John Muirs " Idiot's Guide " as it has a lot
of illustrations and clear instructions on engine removal. Works for
me...Dennis

Is it time for Jan to write an updated version of Muirs "Idiots Guide"

Not taking anything away from John Muirs, some one like Jan should wite
an updated version to help out an ever growing interest. As the
vehicles are getting older there is much more involved in getting them
road worthy and for reasons I can understands more shops catering to
aircooled VW's shutting down. I believe the hoodride thing is just
because alot of the kids getting in to the aircooled scene are only
finding very poor conditioned cars and just throwing them together to
drive.

I had a kid stop by in a 65 that was setting on a foot locker looking
for a starter so he didn't have to push start his car. No interior no
speedo (why is the alt. not charging?) and a leaking master cylinder.

Yes I took his last $50 and gave him a new master cylinder and a
speedo, gave him the name of a few books and online sites and sent him
on his way.
I was reminded that NC doesn't require inspections any more ..:oP

I guess I should get those typos fixed one of these days, too :)

And I still haven't written that article on engine rebuild. I'm STILL
"thinking" about it, but if I do it, it will be LONG and detailed. And
it would probably **** of some people who do it for a living, giving
away "secrets" of the trade. Like, uh, myself :) Why give step by step
instructions if it means losing customers who are brave enough to try it
themselves... LOL ;)

Let's hope they are there. not left off.
a "crime" in engine pull contests at Bug Ins.
btw. what is the record time for an engine pull & replace?
three and a half minutes start to finish line. I've heard, anyone better
that?
