stupid nuts!!
anyone have any special tricks to getting the breather nut out of the oil well/generator stand? As far as i can see it should just screw out with a
little bit of tricky improvisation (and much ruining of kitchen tools)... But it wont budge. At All!
:cry
any suggestions, alterations or well directed curses are much appreciated! |

Try some garage tools,you talking about the breather gland nut?Grab the oil filler assembly with two hands and twist to break the rust sealing it
together,then you have to make a tool to fit inside the filler,as big as you can for leverage,stick a torch down the neck yule see what i mean,good
luck.Mick:P |

any VW shop should carry the special tool for doing the job, if you can take it to a vw shop you could get them to loosen it.

Special Tool WTF
Here is a secret hint but keep it under your hat. Go and get a mower blade for a victa, they fit in the slots just nice and then use shifter to turn
it .
If you like, I can buy a set for $5 open the packet, kick it around the yard, wrap it up and put a VW Special tool label on it and sell it to you for
$20 if you like, probably even have a VW stamp kicking around so I could stamp it and all.
Maybe I can sell one to Wes .... hey Wes want to buy a special tool ???

look at the first tool on this page, and you'll see something dodgy for the job
http://www.thebugshop.org/bsntt.htm
as well as other homemade special tools.
The real special tool looks like this.
