Subject:3 groove pulley and oil seal
From:David Bayer
Date:Wed, 15 Apr 1998 00:06:09 -0700

Hello-
        Is there anyone in the SF Bay Area who might happen to have
a tool for holding the three groove pulley while attempting to remove/
install it? I think I need to replace the main oil seal on the crank
and have to get the pulley off to do so. I found a suggestion on making
such a tool in the archive, but I lack a drill press (or a drill) to create
such a beast.

        On replacing the main seal - does anyone make a tool for installing
this? The Bentley uses VW tool 3038, but I don't happen to have a VW tool
shop down the road (that I know of). Does anyone if VW 3038 is flat on the
seal side? If it is, does anyone know its thickness and diameter so that
I might recreate one with a stack of washers if possible?

Thanks in advance

dave
