Bigger bar or get a ratchet on and stand on it. Plus lots of swearing.

600mm breaker bar and a rubber mallet

But how... There is zero space mate... The fronts were easy as you could just turn the wheel outward

This is where a ramp comes in handy mate or a air gun

if you have a piece of pipe,plot it over your ratchet to give more leverage

Just changed mine, it is a pig, but if the car is jacked up higher, you can get a better angle on it and have the breaker bar at 6 o'clock position.
I couldn't torque mine up as not enough clearance to get the torque wrench into position, so just tightened it as much as I could with my  ratchet!

It is tight but you can get a short breaker bar in. I used a universal joint on the socket and managed to get breaker bar and torque wrench inside the wheel arch.

Nooooooooooohhhhhh!!!

PLEASE, no extension bars on ratchets! I really get sick of lads at work wrecking ratchets when using scaffold tubes to extend handles. I've seen even quality 3/4" drive ratchets break like this.
Ratchets are for ratcheting!

Use a solid connection, like a T bar or better still a proper breaker bar.

And a proper lump hammer for a solid thwack, not a rubber mallet...

It can be a right pita without the right tools i.e. Ramp, breaker bar, etc

Nooooooooooohhhhhh!!!

I understand what you mean but snap-on is lifetime guarantee so if it breaks you get it replaced for free

I used the proper VW carrier tool and a ratchet. I then hit the ratchet with a hammer to crack it off. Worked fine

[Flyingscotsman]

@Rich83 What does the VW tool look like? Is it just like a standard triple square spline socket?

[rich83]

Its a short one so gives you more space
