View attachment 177049
I rate #1 , 2 and 3 the hardest....
hints: #1's square hole is 7.5mm wide, #3 is sized 17 mm
OK....
Number 1: was for removing the square-headed grub nut that held the shift rod (coming from up front) into the nose of the transmission.
Number 2: A centering tool for the shaft sticking out of the rear (engine end) of the transmission.
(When assembling the clutch on the engine's flywheel, one would use a spare tranny shaft to center the clutch during assembly)
Number 3: Remember the two upper engine mounting bolts? The ones you needed a thin arm to reach as you kept them from spinning as your helper secured the nuts (by reaching around the fan housing above the engine)?
These were magnetic wrenches ... you ducked under the car and put one on each upper bolt. Then *you* could be the one who reached in and secured the nuts.
Number 4: the flywheel lock
Number 5: a wrench for reaching the brake bleeders ... the odd shape reached around the wheel and into the restricted space
(i even left a hint with the straight American slotted wrench next to it)
Number 6: the afore-mentioned socket (with 3/4-to-1/2 socket adapter) for the engine gland nut (and beetle rear wheel axle nuts).
--dick (they have now been returned to the crypt)
p.s. one day i forgot to remove the magnetic wrenches from a beetle ... which drove off. I had to call them the next day and arrange a (re)visit to the shop so i could retrieve them (a week later).
