right oflks im having a right chew on with this subframe i am putting my wishbones in the
vr subframe ready to put in but the nut u take out to get the wishbones out of the vr one is
ceased solid
i got one out but the other one wont budge
i rounded the bolt off
so i ground it down to a 17mm rounded that off
ground it down more hammered a 16mm on broke the socket
now i dont know what to do but i need it out
help please?
-
Me n blue almost had this problem with my seats, luckly we managed to use some VD 40,
The bolt should have an outside head and an inside allan key slot, Assuming you have rounded both of these, your gonna need to drill through the bolt mate.
-
dont fancy drillin it yet thats the last option
luckily my neighbour has seen me struggling
and hes heating it up n havin a go in his garage
or i suggested welding a nut to the top of the knackered one to start fresh
-
panics over heated it up n smahed it out
so i can get crackin again

problem number 100
right i have the bolt out arms out new bushes in my arms
but how the hell do i get them in the subframe its propper tight and
they are starting to rip the bushes ive used a hammer grease tryin to bend metal
still wont go in
-
not sure mate, When me and blue did it the two arms went in at an angle, tint the seat back 45 degrees towards to back seats and slide em in, if its stuff use some WD40 or grease.

-
sorry i havrbt got no pics but i would assume you are using a mk3 rear subframe - do you not have he bolts with it..
-

i have sorted it now though some metal was bent from when i was getitn new bushes in
squashed it all back up now and bolts fit

is the vr steering rack same as my gti one as i want to change it
think ive done something to my gti one as they is bit of fluid comin out
from where them big links think its steering column goes onto the rack
-
if you are going to keep the 4 stud set up you need to keep your mark 2 rack. - however if you are going to go 5 stud then u can use the vr rack.
have a look here
