What is the tire air pressure for 1967 VW Beetle?
Seriously, it is on the tire itself .....
- - - - -
If you want to die a horrible flaming death in a car crash, use the air pressure on the tires on a rear-engine VW. Rear-engine and mid-engine cars are not like front-engine cars - for safe handling, you need either more air pressure or a wider tire on the back of the car than on the front. Corvairs were especially prone to having tire pressure make the car go out of control; there is more weight in the back of a Corvair than a Bug because the engine is heavier, and the dealers didn't tell people this had to be done. (More than likely, they didn't know.) Rear engine sports cars use wider tires on the back - Porsche 911s and Ferraris use 20mm-wider tires on the back, and Lamborghinis use 120mm wider tires on the back. This is why. It's not because wider tires on the back make the car look better. (I checked tirerack.com; they sell a "matched tire set" for Lamborghinis. They want $291 per tire for the fronts and $751 per tire for the rears...I guess they figure if you can afford the insurance on one of those cars, you can afford $2100 for tires.) Volkswagen used the same tire size on both ends, so we get our safety through differential tire pressure.
The easiest way to remember it is, the fronts need 10psi less than the rears. I like running 18psi in front and 28 in back. Put 28 in the spare and paint the wheel red so you remember to get it off of there when you get the other tire fixed.
If you want to go the other way - running wider tires in back with the same air pressure at both ends - you can buy wider fenders. The wheel that comes on a Bug is 15" x 5.5" with a 4x130mm bolt pattern; as long as the bolt pattern matches you can buy wider wheels to fit. Try a 15" x 6.5" wheel; that should give you a good safe ride for not an outrageous price.
How do you replace a battery in a 2001 vw golf?
This is fairly easy... however: DISCONNECT NEGATIVE TERMINAL FIRST!!
# Make sure your car is off # Keep your oem head unit codes handy in case you need to reset it
# Disconnect you're negative terminal (use a rubber coated socket wrench to loosen the screw holding it in, make sure you wrap it in a rag to avoid it touching any ground on your car, and tape it off or hold it somewhere) # Disconnect the positive terminal # Reconnect your positive terminal # Reconnect your negative terminal # Then secure your battery covers and start your car and you're done!!
Cant get tire off 1994 Honda Accord No known wheel locks?
Looking at your question im assuming that you have ALL the lugnuts off if you do i would say you wheel is rusted and stuck to your hub Jack the car up and remove the lugnuts and turn with your back to the wheel and kick the bottom of the tier this should bust the rust loose and tier should come off IF the lugnut are not off and you have lock nuts with no tool to remove you may need to have a regular lugnut welded to the end of the locknut so you can remove it with a impact then replace it with a normal one.

Unhook the battery
Disconnect the headlight and turn signal on that side; if you're removing a left-hand fender, unhook the horn too
Remove the front bumper and right bracket

Pull hard because someone probably painted over the fender welting, and as a result the fender is now glued to the car
