  View original topic: Crankcase sealer making it difficult to split case

I am splitting the case of this 2.0 L air cooled Vanagon. Tried to remove the oil pump but this stuff is very tough. Does any one recognise it and is there a way to make it come off easier?

Probably Gasgrinch (spelling) pretty hard stuff.

did you loosen the case nuts above and below the pump? doesn't look like it from the picture.

Thanks for the tip. Loosening up the case before removing the oil pump worked great.
