Type 3 gearbox blanking plugs
Hey all,
I've got a DC gearbox from a 73 type 3 I'm thinking of putting in my bug, the DC box in my 70 bug put up with alot of years of Rotary power and
didn't break so they can't be half bad.
I was looking at it this morn and noticed it still has the blanking plugs in the beetle mounting holes.
Before I get rough with it does anyone know if these just drive out or do they need drilling out?

Pin punch knocked them out pretty easily, although interesting only from inside out which was fun without belting the input shaft.
They would not budge trying to knock them inwards for some strange reason, no visibible lip on either the plugs or the gearbox.

They probably have a slight taper and are installed from the outside in.

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.
