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.

spot on m8 thanks alot :)

Or get someone to sit in the car and press the brake pedal.

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.

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_168943_langId_-1_categoryId_255215#tab1

Saves you taking the M8 back when its the wrong size.

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
