Changing cv boot
« on: April 25, 2015, 02:57:07 pm »
@lukemk5gti  , you'll pleased to hear I'm deciding to tackle this myself :) What tool do I need and where do I buy it?

2) I can't find the locking nut bit for my alloys  :fighting: how to I go about finding a replacement?

Thanks

VW will give you a replacement once you prove you are the owner

I checked and apparently they don't do it anymore?

I take it I need the splined bit and can't get a socket over it? Not with the car right now..
