Thanks Jack...I know how to do this, but it was a good reminder while replacing my Alt, I have the same problem with my son sometimes too, but i make him work on it himself and won't do anything until he is there and ready to work. He needs to learn this shit...because I not going to be around forever.

To take the fan out you just take off the two screws or bolts. One on the left and one on the right side of the fan shroud. Then you can lift it up enough to get the fan out. It will clear the generator stand. No need to take off the manifolds.

I just got my generator replaced on my 1600 - Although on a beachbuggy so the space was a lilbit tighter. Thankyou for the instructions! From Sweden, Scandinavia
Stick a large screwdriver in one of the slots in the pulley and it will grab on the case bolt to lock it in place.
You can usually just pry it off with two large screw drivers, if you dont have a press you can heat it with a torch and then pry it with the screwdrivers

Thank you so much for this video, Jack. It was very helpful! I had to take the generator off my 1964 Bug.

Additional advice: First Check that the 36mm fan nut can be loosened. If you suspect that it has been impact gunned/over torqued. Apply a 36mm socket and a medium breaker bar to the nut and rotate the front pulley (minus belt) and jam it up against the top of the engine bay, then remove the first pulley and apply a spanner or adjustable wrench to the front with a long length of bar over it and turn anticlockwise to crack the nut.
