Exhaust mounted with coil nuts
Remco 20 February 2005 03:59:08
	In stripping the axhaust off my 75 bug, I had no choice but to split most nuts because of rust. They were all coil nuts for some reason. (nuts with a helicoil inside -- usually used when high stress applications). Does this application require hardware like or is this just overkill? Maybe that's what the guy happened to have? When I put it back, can I use regular nuts? Remco

They're nice because they do split readily. But, you can use plain ol' nuts. Speedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/

	Yeah, I was very happy to see that splitting them was not a problem My nut cracker tool didn't have enough room but a sharp chisel worked well. Thanks! Remco

	The OEM nuts (the ones you took off) are self-locking nuts, so it would be best to continue using them (new ones, of course).

	Use the original as they are easy to get off and lock on. I have a bag of them. href="http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4025706&a=30209382&vt=vp">Den's 1977 Puma</a>

	Is there a reason not to use stainless steel nuts? Stainless would be great too 0- when the time comes, I'll get what's most available. I am just thinking when the time comes to take the muffler back off. What was on there were totally fused to the studs.

I thought I tried to buy them from VW years ago and all I got were just plain plated steel nuts. VW was happy to sell me SOMETHING; it just wasn't what I was hoping for. Have you actually bought some? I completely agree that the cars all came with them right up to the end; I just thought I was unable to buy the same part even when they ordered it from the VW distributor. - ----------------------------------------------- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711 USA -----------------------------------------------

Some Dealers are tricky though and will pass off anything they might have in stock. It can even happen from the main warehouses without the dealer knowing, but the part number is still available so I would try again.

	The ones I got are copper-beveled and come off without busting the studs. I got the last bag from JCW href="http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4025706&a=30209382&vt=vp">Den's 1977 Puma</a>
