What is the most thickness allowed for shim installation?
As far as I have been taught there is no maximum thickness allowed for a shim. Shims can be specially made out of thicker plate to achieve the correct alignment. The only restriction I know about with shims is that there should never be more than 3 shims in one place (e.g. only 3 shims are allowed under each motor foot).

How do you remove the pulley on a1970 vw bug?
Upper pulley - remove nut on generator shaft. The nut, bell-shaped washer, extra shims, pulley half, used shims, and inner pulley half come off in that order. More shims between the pulley halves will loosen the belt. Fewer shims will tighten it. Put the leftover shims under the bell shaped washer so they'll be around when you put on a new, tight belt. Lower pulley - Put the car in 4th gear and remove the bolt (it's right handed) If the pulley is really stuck, you might need a gear puller to get it off.

How do you change a fan belt on a 72 bug?
You should get Muirs book and or the Bentley manual as they have a HUGE amount of info. They have a two piece pulley system. Put a medium size straight screw driver in the slot of the inner Generator pulley and then it will hold the pulley from moving when you take off the nut. Keep track of the "shims". Put "shims" between the two pulleys or between the nut and outer pulley to tighten or loosen the belt. Once you get it right put the remaining "shims" between the outer pulley and the nut and then torque it down.

Put the car on jack stands and remove the wheels. Locate the calipers and brake pads and remove the pins and clips from the calipers. Slide out the old brake pads and push the piston back to make room for the new pads and shims. Slide in the new pads and shims and put the pins, clips and cotter pins back in.

How do you tighten the fanbelt on a 1973 VW Beetle?
The upper pulley is a two piece setup. There are shims that you use to widen up or narrow down the gap between the two halves of the upper pulley on the Alt/Gen. Too tighten, you take the nut off the outer pulley and there should be a few shims between the nut and the pulley. Put them down for now and take the outer pulley off and there should be a few shims in between the halves. Depending on how loose the belt is you start taking the shims out one by one until the belt is tight. Then you put the extra shims and add them to the others that were already on the outside and retighten the nut. It may take a few tries to get it right. If you can't get the belt tight then either the belt is worn out or the wrong on is on it. Get the Bentley manual as you will need it for future answers.
