Rear Axel Bushes help

[mcgee9t2]

yeah, will give it a go tomorow then, ah the joys, also could vw have put the feking bolts for the rear axles in a more awkward place, took bloody ages, not helped by the 11 years of rust on them

turns out its not as easy as i thought to take off those plates, so rusted i could only get 2 out of 8 bolts undone  and they took half a hour to get off, in the end i gave up and put the car back togeather and am going to drop it off at my cusns garage and ask him to do it and just take the whole rear axle out because im fed up of f*cking around with it now.

just out of interest anyone know anywere in darlo, boro, aycliffe that sort of area who have the correct tools to do this?

my cusns garage hasent got the tool and he said hed do it but he would have to take whole axle out stick it in a vice and give it a good tw@ing with a hammer ect untill it goes in so said someone with the proper tools might be able to do it quicker and cheeper...

Take the mount off the floor!

thats what i was thinking of doing, however in the thread it didnt look like he did so was hoping i was just making a stupid little mistake, job for tomorow then, just hope these jacks that are holding the axles up dont get niked 

This is turning into a right tw#t of a job for you aint it!

It is VERY tight (how we like it! Lol) but with the"play" there is when the beam is " floating" it is possible.

Worst case scenario, break the brake lines and bleed the brakes?

As far as the correct tool, there is one but sod buying it for one use!

Improvisation is the key.

yeah i was going to buy the tool but had other stuff to do so wouldnt have had time to do it untill sunday anyway and need the car sat night so my cusns doing it for me friday night, means i dont have to f**k on bleading the breaks ect cause chances are i was going to have to disconnect the break lines.

This is the thread I used when doing my mk3 rear bushes, same principle can be used on the mk4.
