Well fitted them.

What should have been a straight forwards 30min job turned out to be a 3 hour Epic

Used these instructions. No probs there

[pdf]http://www.bshspeedshop.com/instructions/mkvbilletendlinkinstructions.pdf[/pdf]

The M6 bit you need though. When i used that on the bolt that is attached to the Chassis on both sides the ends just crumbled away leaving me with nothing to actually insert the bit too  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

So using a combination of a Drill, Hack Saw, Grips, Hammer and sheer brute force i managed to get the bolt off without damaging anything other than the bolt itself.  :fighting:

I even soaked both bolts with WD40 and left them for 10mins just to make it easier.  :fighting: :fighting:

What a stupid setup. Basically the ends have corroded due to road grime etc. So if you are going to install them yourself be prepared for it to not be so straight forwards

All done now though :pomppomp: :party:

Carl :happy2:

What are they and what do they do?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Mater, have you noticed a change in your ride quality/firmness after the drop link install?
