For the hub, if you don't have that hub spreader tool or a chisel, I found a 1/4" extention fits perfectly! Turn it 45° and it'll spread it enough and the hub drops off!

Great video as always. When i do my top mounts i fit long bolts from the wheel side through the mounts so you have threads in the bulkhead area, it also means you have a hex head on both sides when it comes to removal time. Shit design from VW those threaded top mounts.

Hi, regarding steering wheel, golf mk8 heated wheel. Iv got r ones on my scirocco, you can programme the r button to open exhaust flaps or to control a relay etc, and it also adds cruise to a non cruise van, and the cruise is on the wheel instead of the stalk . If you need more info let me know 👍

You don’t need to remove the drive shafts or even loosen the drive shaft bolt just leave that alone Only need to remove the 3 bolts on bottom arm The drop link and the top 3 bolts Just did mine yesterday Done quite a few caddy’s now Just a tip for u for next time ❤

@YTDTETV 9 ай бұрын

Hi bud only thing with not removing the drive shaft bolt is when the hub hangs it pulls hard on the drive shaft seen a few cv boots split to so rather than cause any extra parts I rather just pull it off. Niceone thow bud 👍
