Those Irwin bolt extractors rock......... finished the replacement of all the gear linkage bits and set it up using the vw spacer tool this morning and the end result is a perfect smooth gear change so it was well worth the scuffed knuckles and cursing....... what a fiddly almost impossible job, anyway ty for the help and suggestions. Now time for the next job on my list :smiley:

where can you get these said extractors of boltage from?

I got mine from screwfix, they came as a metric and imperial set, the ones I see now are two seperate sets, gutted recently as I just broke my 13mm, have to wait till my tool man comes round and see if he'll change on guarantee?  :angry:
