Before someone starts trashing this, I fully intend on using them. This will be a track car. Now...does anyone make a good tow hook for a 2g? Front and back. I'd like to not have to cut holes for it unless its necessary. I have been looking, and all I see so far is universal ones.Thanks...
OK, I still couldn't get the longer one to pop in the passenger side, so I started working on the driver side with the short one. I got the knuckle and everything in, but the axle isn't sticking through the hub enough to thread the nut in
The diff cover said viscous LSD BFH on it.
I didn't pay attention when I took them out, and it looks like the driver side should be the longer rear axle, but I just want to check. Which side gets the longer rear axle?
The half shafts and the hubs couldn't be separated, but the bearing could be freed, so the shafts were cut in half and pushed through the knuckle the wrong way.
I'm in the process of installing the DSS rear hub & half shaft kit. the factory spec wheel studs slide in as far as the threads, but there is nowhere near enough room for it to push in spline deep. Has anyone dealt with this? I may also go with APR wheel studs, but i need to get this issue...
I have been lucky and not gotten in trouble for not having a front plate, but it could give a cop an excuse to pull you over and catch you for other stuff.
Hmm. Sounds like I should gear up for the junk yards and get some new knuckles... if they're not stuck as well. Also, the sensor doesn't want to come out either. Is there a trick to that? The bolt wont back out, and I tried prying the sensor away, but it feels like it's going to break before it...
Sounds pretty much like what I tried. I had some pb blaster, and a 7 ton puller that bolted to the hub, torched the hub to try and help, and hammered the puller. I may need to take the whole knuckle off and take it to a shop I guess. Thanks.
Hey guys. My hub seems to be rusted to my rear shaft and I cant seem to get it the break free. I just used a puller to try and pry them apart, but I couldn't get it to work. Any suggestions? (95 TSI awd)Thanks,
