ABS/ ESP / tyre presure issue

[r5gtt]

Its just the two m14 bolts and then the phillips screw, and the m18 left isnt it? I will make sure the m14 bit is.snug in.the.bolt. dont think il have anyone to help me out tbh

It's the bearing m18 you have to worry about as these will be a mother of a b to undo and that's me bot retrying to scare you  . They'd be thr ones that'll need the m18 hammering which in turn also breaks some rust off to free them loose. I know because I've been there done that or similar as vauxhall have the spine type and are a beech too.

Don't fret as one man can do the job as you've got a lot of good  advise off here so you can't go wrong

I have done that daz, but the wheel is back on now and I couldnt get my arm in, ive just gone for a spray and hope approach.

Im hoping I dont need to do the m14s anyway, in the video it looks like it will come out. Ive got a 3 foot breaker bar for the m18 so thay should be fine

The bearing m18 wheel bearing I used the breaker bar with a jack handle

So disaster has struck  the t30 screw head has just disentigrated, I tapped it in but its pretty much turned into a circle now :( any advice? @maxitrol

Drill it out

[Pesky jones]

But I dont have a replacement?

[doylebros]

Is this for holding the disc?

[Pesky jones]

Yeah the single t 30.

What about creating a grove for a flathead?

[doylebros]

Not worth the effort - as above drill the head off (the bit left normal comes out easy with the vice grips)  to keep on with the job.
Don't worry about that bit (when building up its only to hold the disc in place) the disc will be ok when the pads and wheel is on to allow using it till you get the chance to pick a new fixing tomorrow.

Here's the part number of the part http://www.partscats.info/volkswagen/en/?i=cat_vag_models&brand=vw&number=1714&set=1728&ein=2007&f=474&hauptgr=1234567890&hg=6&grf=061516253&bf=61520&hgug=615&ug=15&parent_id=2347598&detail_id=2347610

You'll get something local today M6 x16 counter sunk at Halfords etc.

You dont need that screw... its not required. Once youve drilled the head off it and removed the discs you should be able to get grip on the rest of the bolt and remove it.

[Pesky jones]

Ok guys cheers. Drilled the head off it. The disc still seems liek it wont come off. Ive given it a few whacks from the back with a plastic mallet I. Has the bolt shaft still got purchase on it? Really dont want to try and take the m14s out, the m14 bit I have is quite long so is really hard to get in.

[Pesky jones]

So ive undone the m18, and now the whole hub and disc moves, but the carrier is well in the way. Definitely needs to come off. Going to be a real pain

[dazza]

Did you drill out the bolt?

[doylebros]

If your trying that method even at this stage the disc should be loose and move freely around the wheel hub - if it's not moving freely nip the M18 up and give the disc a good wallop with heavy metal hammer all round on the face were you just been drilling.

[r5gtt]

wd40 does help too.
