• How do i go about putting new bearings back in(shaft that drive the oil pump and vacuum pump) and also where is the best place to get them?

• don't they have to be pressed in? best way would be to dip them in some liquid nitrogen and then press fit them.  but if you don't have any liquid nitrogen, i guess putting them in the freezer will do, as well as heating up the block.  but i dont think you really need to if you have the right tools...

• If you go to another forum
     www.vwdieselparts.com Index
     and do a search on Int. Shaft
     bearings there are anumber
     of posters who have made
     up a variety of home-made
     tools for removal/installation
     of the Int. Shaft bearings.
  
     Also check out the section on
     home-made tools.
  
     Hope this helps.

• Sorry, that was the WRONG link
      Go to www.vwdieselparts.com/forum/
  
      The best bearings are "Clevite" I
      think the number is SH-1209-S. I can
      look that up. They're about $23
  
      I don't know where you'd get those
      in the U.K., but you can get them
      through www.burnabyauto.com
      They're British Columbia.
  
      When you're installing the new
      bearings, you have to ensure that
      the oil holes line up and that the
      oil channel in the rear bearing
      points to the vacuum pump gear.

• I have them for sale.
  Not put them on the webshop yet though.
  I have KS ones that need machining once installed.

  If you want some then e-mail [email protected] and I'll sort a price, I seem to remember about £12 plus VAT, they ain't expensive!
