On early model VW's (i.e. 1949-1974) it's a bit involved. You have to unbolt the plate between the generator and the fan housing, and remove the fan shroud itself. Also, I believe the generator stand may come with the entire assembly. Obviously, you'll want to take the air cleaner off to make more room for yourself to work. And, the hoses leading to the fan shroud have to come off. Visit www.thesamba.com or get a good manual for the bug from your friendly neighborhood parts store.
