Title: Rear Carriers aghhhh
Post by: S4twiggy on 28 May 2011, 09:43

this golf is stressfull lol how do i get the rear carriers off lads, thought it was torx bolts but none of mine fit. is it a certain size as 10 doesnt fit and 12 is too big. do they make an 11size torx bit??

or is there another way at getting them off

You will actually need a 14mm spline bit. Although when I tried to remove mine a few weeks ago the bolts were too tight for me to get off :sad:
