Subject:Pulling the engine tonight, anything I need to know?
From:Steve Blackham
Date:Mon, 5 Feb 2001 16:40:50 -0700

I'm pulling the engine tonight on the "new" (to me) 83, I just
bought.  Anywords of wisdom.  The last VW engine I pulled with the
tranny (A1s and A2s excluded) was a 69 square back 20 years ago.
With the D jetronic frying valves on a regular basis I got quite
adept at pulling that engine.

Bentley is rather non descriptive on this issue.  Do I need to remove
any engine tin?  Where do I need to place the jack.  Where is the
center of gravity.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated,,
