How the hell do you remove the dust seal/caps on front brakes (type 1)??
I tried to pry with flat heads, even a little hammer tappin, gah!
its for a 1969 beetle ball joint disc brake front end... and its the dust cap on either end in the centre of the brake drum.
its got me stumped...
and the best tech manual i got simply says 'remove it' without much more elaborate detail lol.

use a rubber mallet, to knock the sucker left and right until it comes out, also with the use if a large flat head screwdriver to leaver it... ir just
drill a hole in it and use a slide hammer..

Hi
I use a large screwdriver shank, put the shank into the gap between the cap and hub and belt the shank into gap.

big set of multi grips always worked for me, if i ever couldnt get it that way, id start it off with a wide flat blade screwdriver with a square or
hex shank, u tap the flat end into the gap behind the dust cap, then use a shifter to twist the screwdriver... once u start it it should come off
relatively easily.

I just use a 1/2" socket extension put it between the cap and the drum and hit with a soft face hammer spin wheel 180* keep going and it just pops
off.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.
