FM those carrier bolks were an absolute swine to get out.
Ended up having to heat them out.
Who's bright idea was it to put hex bolts on rear carriers!?


You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Great info from the man once again. Badly need to update my brakes.

Also worth taking the 15'' space saver spare wheel to fit over the brakes. I got mine out of a corrado g60. Not sure if seat's have space savers though. :)
