My Students would ask me why I drove a VW Bus and I would tell them that I love an unobstructed view in front of me when driving unlike the 40 cars behind me that can only see the back of the car in front of them. |

Get the car back on her feet, heat that nut cherry red, then a 46 mm socket will pop it off. Leave the bash tools for the amateurs _________________ .ssS! |

To get the drums off, back off the star adjusters, make sure e-brake is off, and hit the drums with a large hammer between the lug nuts and they should come off. |
