you need a 8mm and a 6mm hex wrench and maybe a 10mm 13mm and 15mm sockets. First release the tension bar from the alternator and then use the 6mm hex on the inside end of the alternator and the 8mm on the other side...spin opposite directions and the alternator should come out.,

A 1881 VW Rabbit convertible would be worth its weight in gold; however, I believe you are referring to a 1981 VW Rabbit convertible which is worth far less. In *perfect* condition, with the right buyer, and low miles, in a good economy, and diesel its worth about $3k. In good condition (diesel) its probably worth $1750. In great condition (gasoline) it should be worth $1000. In fair condition $500.
The alternator is on the bottom-right of the engine. Jack up the right side of the car (chalk your wheels, ensure the transmission is in park, and the parking brake is set). Loosen the locknut on the alternator. Back off the tension on the belt with the tension bolt. Remove the belt and all wires attached to the unit. Remove the alternator bolt and unit.
The recommended spark plug gap for a 1981 VW Rabbit is .028"
