Removed the dust cover (was stuck and I had to seek help on earlybay.com) using a claw hammer. Then removed disc, hub and bearings. Put them in baggies and labeled. After I got the rotors and hubs off. I removed (6) 11mm bolts for the brake splashshield.

I also stopped by A&J (old VW shop close to my house) and made a deal for him to cut off a rear deck from another bus and sell it to me for $100.
Here it is:


It’s from a ‘72 so the ribbing is different than the ‘71. I’ll have to do something creative to make it work.
I also finally got my linen closet and rear cabin shelf removed. Needed the Westphalia manual to figure it out. There was a wicked snake skin on the top shelf of the linen closet.
I also disconnected and labeled all connections to engine.
Removed rear luggage rack of poptop – see later post.
