ideal :laugh: be up at th crack of dawn too do it :)

any1 know a way to crack the bolts easily without the joint turning
-
right, after a bit of research i think the circlip holding the axle into the tripple roller assembly has came off and the shaft is lying loose in the boot.
does this sound about right
-
Yes that sounds right!
And to undo the bolts put 2 wheel bolts back in the hub and use a breaker bar to hold the hub while you crack off the bolts. Will need an extra pair of hands though.

cheers again but the discs are off at the moment, would the brake on the drivers side also hold the nearside when pressed

does any1 know if they do 8mm tripple square bit in halfords, b& q etc
-
You sure its M8 and not M10. Most 1.8T's and 1.9Tdi's are M10.
And yes they do but its called a spline :tongue: Have to buy a set though.

Saves you taking the M8 back when its the wrong size.
-
Also thread lock them when you put them back in

could be m10 as well m8 as im following the the guide on vortex http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3344208-DIY-Blown-CV-Boot-Replacement-and-inspection.
just that a 8mm hex key fitted but dont wanna run the risk of rounding the bolts off and having to stop work once again to wait on ordering more stuff lol
-
good job you pointed that out. It is an m10, keep forgetting i have ETKA lol. There M8 on AGZ and AQNs M10x28 is the one for AGU,ARZ,ARM, got part numbers should any1 require them :)
-
right, had a quick bash with the 8mm hex bit that fit quites snugly using breaker bar as mentioned to stop the shaft turning.
thing is the full joint is rotating round the shaft as i try to cravk the nuts, any other ides before i cut into my boot :(
-
Got a strap wrench or a pair of stilsons to hold on to the shaft?

i think the shafts disconnected from the assembly so i dont think thatl do any good m8, the full inner joint is rotating, thinkin i might need to cut into thoe put to try and counterhold it somehow.
popping to halfords just shortly for the spline set tho, see what else they might have
-
Stick the gear box in reverse should stop it from rotating.
