had a dream about my driveshafts............

[mush]

as above I'm planning on removing both driveshaft's soon for my project and had a bad dream about it last night all the nuts broke off as i tried removing and were stuck in the block halting my project to an immediate stand still 

wasn't a good dream to be fair,

Plus gas FTW
Sounds like a nightmare TBF? 
Wait until you shear captive nuts then you will be in a world of pain!

Just make sure you use multi spline bits and not torq, and hammer it in fully before you even think about turning them... Think the bit is the equivalent of a t40, but 2x the splines.. Vw still sell new ones and they're not too expensive, worth doing imo

This thread honestly made me chuckle

When I was taking my suspension off my other MK2 that has been "resting" for 12 years - a few years ago - I had to hacksaw through the nuts of the two mounting bolts.

Took 9 hours.

Nightmare.

The thought of getting the rusty bottom bolts out of my rear engine mount without breaking them is bad enough...

I will stick to my 'junior' worries for the moment and graduate to drive shaft bolts in good time.

M8 spline tool. Tap em in easy. If u can't get em out get a grinder n cut the heads of then u can turn em out after u removed driveshaft. no more nighmares about driveshafts now

Closest I've come was the caliper carrier bolts!  A bit of heat and a set of stilsons and I was able to leave my pants on.
