Ah well, being me, I had to go out and see if I could remove the clutch
without a puller. You do. Theres 4 small bolts and one 13mm bolt that
holds the pulley to the shaft. It appears there is a threading inside the
pulley to use a a press by inserting the proper bolt. Then again, I got
mine off with a cheapie gear puller with no problems.

There are. One is the ugly square Yorx compressor. the other is the nice,
compact round unit. The one I have in my Scirocco is the square one and
the spare compresor is a yorx as well.

Funny you say that. I dont think I will have the funds to stay up there.
I have to be in SF on the 12th and it looks like we will be forced to
return on the 15th. We just dont have any money. it sucks. Some vacation
huh.

I dont have specific directions but I do know its right off of the I-5. I
waswatching an event on ESPN there and you can see the freeway from the
camera shot. (the announcer also pointed it out as well.)
