Push Rod Tube Seals - Inner or outer

These are the seals that go around the push rod tubes. On all Bugs and Buses up to 1971 the heads have to come off to replace the seals and we highly recommend you replace the tubes at this time as well. If you don't they will usually leak even though you have new seals. On buses 1972 on, the seals can be replaced by pulling the rockers off and the wire clip that holds the tubes in place. Use a pair of pliers to wiggle the tubes out. Wipe some white grease on the new seals and install. Sold each
