HELP! Changing my can follower at the moment

[JamieBiz]

Hi guys, I'm changing my cam follower right now and can't get to this hex head.

Any ideas??


The one on the right Is off but can't get to the one on the right. And obviously won't pull out with that attached.

Ahh.... you need @dazza  to take you thru it.

You've unfortunately got the hard line version which makes it a cock to do this job.

You need to undo it from the bottom. It's a hex bolt not sure what size.

Have you got the correct tool to remove the banjo bolt? It's a m8 spline.

Use this mate..

Thanks Tim! I gave up in the end because i didn't have the right Spline bit. its going in to be checked by VW on Thursday so i think ill get them to do it, which is frustrating!! such an easy job to do

[rich83]

halfords sell the tool is that makes any difference?

[Pesky jones]

Do Halfords sell an m8 spline?

I ordered mine off amazon it was a tenner I think, got a whole set with loads of pieces. It was a sealey set I think.

Also, a mini ratchet attactchment really helps.

yep...

My mate works there and ischecking how noisy the engine is w hen warm, so might see how much it is for them to do. if its a ridicules amount ill go and get the m8 bit.
