old body to pan seal nails. How to remove? Tough nuts!
Hi lads!
I have all those sharp, hard to budge nail things that were in the pan to hold the original body to pan seal in place.
I have tried to use a hammer to jig em out but it started to dent/bend the metal surrounding it.
Is there any tips or special hints to doing it?
or just... perhaps a pinch bar and deal with it....
Chris.

As Dave said, but make sure you spin the right way as they have a twist on the shaft. I know you mentioned the hammer and I assume you mean a claw
hammer to try and remove. I also used a punch and hit them from the other side. Hit the point of the nail.

If you haven't already removed them, grab the heads tight with vise-grips and twist anti-clockwise while pulling out firmly.
Just done all of mine (poor old No8 '59 Beetle) - only broke 3, and they knocked out OK with a sharp punch.
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Pulled them out with no worries at all, and just punched out any ones that broke.
Nasty sharp looking things

I presume yr replacing the seal ( eventually )
If so use a little contact glue to hold the seal in place while fitting the body

yea the body has been off the pan, prepping for holidays coming up where the body is going back. (how many times in the past have i planned for that
moment? lol)
no worries. yea will use heaps of windscreen sealer , i'm going to
need 2 body to pan seals as well, cause i got the 2'' lift kit. it will be interesting... 'to say the least'. I'm a bit nervous in the whole
process. But will be rewarding if i see it through.

I have a feeling that you are not meant to use windscreen sealer, but let others be the judge of this.

Hi
I suppose windscreen sealer would be OK, you need to use something that has no acid in it.
I reckon a pair of pincers would get the tacks out OK.
Wurth make stuff called Dab Off, I reckon it would be ideal. http://www.wurth.com.au/catalogueview.asp?pdf=A03_0025.pdf
