Subject:Clutch Master Cylinder Removal? Plus Weight Add-On
From:Kurt Grotz

Well if it's not one thing it is another.

Seems my clutch master on my 86 Vanagon is leaking like a sieve.  I have a
spare on my 84, which I assume will fit.  I cannot by looking at it see a
simple way to get it off.  Before I mess with it and get in a pickle like I
did with my bad gas situation which lead to hydro-statically seizing the
engine, I thought I would get some pointers from the list.

Oh thanks for the answers on the weight capacity question. Seemed to spark a
good little debate as well.  Enjoyed that. As a final story for weight - not
even thinking about capacity, years ago I drove from New York (Kennedy
Airport) to Phila. with 6 - 200 lb plus Rugby players with full luggage.
They were coming off a Tour of Ireland and made me stop for added cases of
beer.  I go almost 300 lbs so I must have had 1,800 lbs in it.  Drove fine,
as far as I could tell.

Thanks As Always

Kurt Grotz
