Aw shoot, I just did it on my 1.9L and maybe should have taken a couple
pictures and written a little entry for the Vanagon wiki. I'm thinking of
replacing it again because the engine seems to have difficulty getting
warm now. So I'll document it this time. I may not have the best
procedure, but it'll be a starting place for anyone who knows a better way.
