Preparing for rust treatment
Hey guys,
Firstly, Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.
Okay, so i basically have everything i need now (except stuff from airkewld which is a week or so away). It has now come time to take the body off in
order to attack the pan, however i am stuck.... i have no clue how to remove the "HEATER AIR CONNECTOR" ( https://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D111%2D255%2D415%2DF ), the seal on the body is "broken" and
all that is stopping the body coming up is these, so how do you remove them>
Secondly, is it reccomended to take the gearbox off the pan when rust treating both the top and bottom of the pan (it will be going to a soda
blaster).
Cheers,
jeremy

That's already been done. There isn't enough clearance between the arm from gearbox to the brake though ( to pull the out in any way).

As long as you disconnect the hoses the connector box should come off with the body. Then you can easily remove it.
And yes, definitely take off the gearbox before attacking the pan. It will make your life so much easier.

At the moment the connector box's have both the bolts taken out and are very loose, but i shall also take the hose off as you suggested.
I am also going to follow: http://www.superbeetles.com/Tech_talk/jun.htm
to ensure i have removed all the bolts and that.

That guide sounds pretty much on the money to me based on my recollection.
