haha, I just learned today how to remove it. I just used a small chisel and hammer to loosen it, then used the 8mm nut on top to spin it out with a wrench. I ordered a VW unit, so I will find out if it works for sure, If so, I will post the part number..it was only ....56.00

Once you pull out the solenoid you will see these parts in the hole but be carefull they may stick to the solenoid just long enough to come out then fall into the engine bay. Just put the solenoid back in after removing said items (remember the o ring) and your good to go. Have to shut truck off at pump yes. Be carefull though this job would not be fun on the side of the road with the bracket still on the pump. Even with the bracket removed a crows foot wrench would be nice.
I'm now reviewing this thread and am about to go out and start on it. Wish me luck!

I will make any other 1st gen a pull cable the day I get it. When mine went out I was 60 miles from nowere. I like my pull cable less things to go wrong and you can take the keys out, lock the door and let it run while you run in the store an you dont have to let it cool down and you can leve the A/C or heat on.
