It's a swine to get the spline bolts behind the calipers undone!

+1.

No way do I ever put the standard bolts back on.

Always replace them with 10.9 hex heads.

Let's face it - if hex heads are good enough to hold the front calipers onto the car WTF were VW doing using splined socket head bolts on the rear?
