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.

How do you change the brushes on a 1971 vw camper?
By brushes, do you refer to the windshield wiper motor brushes, or the generator brushes? If generator...just replace the generator, or ramp up to an alternator. It is cheaper and a lot less hassle. If windshield wiper...well...that one is possible, but dreadfully difficult. Best to look for a replacement motor. I don't think they make the replacement brushes any longer.
