I have read several articals about the adjustment and don't have a problem with the proceedure. I have done the same thing on and air cooled Beetle and several motorcycles. My concern is access. I have the car on one ramp with a couple of 2x4s for extrah height. the passanger side is on a jack stand. as best as I can tell all of the access is from the rear over the heat exchangers. Is there any room from the side over the heat exchangers?
I plan on taking my time this being the 1st time on this car. Just looking for any techniques that may help. |

only from the side. Lay under the car cross ways. head out one side, feet to the other. You need a "pillow" to prop your head up or you'll get a crick in your neck. 1 & 3 intake are the tough ones. Use a very short screwdriver or a dime on those two. I don't remove anything but the valve covers.
