This is ironic...

Someone keyed my Girlfriends '74 Superbeetle and she used criminal mischief. Her step father is a cop so maybe that helped, idk..

Im angry for you, 09.. thats f*cked. But if I were you... I wouldnt park that old VW there either. :-/

 

True that.
Just park a few blocks away from school.

Or take the bus.

 

Does your school have security cameras?

 

wow!!! i feel terrible. when you find the person, send them my way and i'll knock some sense into them...east coast style

 

Hellz ya.

 

lol well the 67 still needs new paint so i wouldn't worry if so one keyed it just yet
and as for security camera my school is broke we don't have sheet here haha

 

That sucks bro dam haters!! Did you take someones lady? Maybe someone is jealous.

 

back on topic. lol.

anyone else have to modify their spanner wrench to work on the fronts?


Mine wouldnt work AT ALL. The tab is welded on but im sure some epoxy would work just fine to hold a piece of metal on there.

 

If you turn the spanner so that the tab on the tip is pulling on the lock nut, then you shouldnt need that other tab on there. At least that is how it should work on most locknuts with spanners that I have seen

 

no need to modify it...well mine worked fine

 

the arch on the wrench is entirely way too big for the arch on the ring. when you go to tighten up the ring it only touches about 35-45% of the arch on the wrench. then you put pressure on the wrench, the tab on the tip slips out of the groove, and you bust a knuckle.

the welded-on tab is just there to reduce the radius of the arch to match the ring.

 

hmm.. if that is the case then it is just crap design or they sent you the wrong spanners

 

use the smaller spanner they sent... actually mine worked fine

 

Mine broke, Sad Panda

 

that's what i do to loosen them. but to back them against eachother you need 2 wrenches.

 

no you dont.. just hold one with your hand and tighten with the small one

 

almost dumped all the way

 

sickness

 

do you dial in the camber yourself?

 

yes u need two spanner to lock them up.. so they wont get loose, im having the same issue.. and i need an allignment.. can i get it from the dealership? and would my warrtny covers it?
