remove the crank shaft pulley nut so i can get the bottom part of the timing cover off?? haynes just says "remove crank shaft pulley nut and withdraw pulley". BULLSHIT! hehe that is a *huge* nut, hasnt been removed for 30 years, and is attached to something that is built to *turn*. any suggestions would be invaluable.

cheers

If you have clearance, go buy the big impact socket and use the airgun. It is even worth pulling the radiator to use this option.

If not, put the car in low gear and chock the wheels or back the car up against a wall. This will stop the engine from turning. Now put a breaker bar w/ socket on the nut, angled out the engine bay. Slide a 2' piece of pipe over the end for leverage. Pull like hell!

I cut this off of an old wheel with a grinder- put a grove in it to rest against the bolt and it worked great

Any VW shop will have a flywheel lock for aircooled VW's for about $5-$7 US it bolts up to one of the starter bolts and works like a champ a very worth while tool......Marty....

Rear bumper mounting bracket from a 70-72 '02.

The threaded inserts get busted out and then you have a nice, heavy angled bracket with pre-drilled holes.

One end gets bolted to the block by the bell-housing mounting bolt, the other end gets bolted with one of the clutch mounting bolts.

Just be sure to use one of your many spare M8 bolts when doing this. No sense in buggering up your good hardware.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
