Replacing springs guide
Pesky jones:
Tried using a 7mm allen key but it was just a tad too big to get in, and the 6mm slightly too small. Think im just going to get the proper tool too give me the best chance.

I've got a proper one in my toolbox but my modded one is the best - although I've had to use a chisel a couple of times cause certain jobs need an element of brut force. :happy2:
Pesky jones:
Tried using a bolster, screwdriver but I couldnt get it to budge. 110k probably never been changed. Plus I used penetrating oil. Did you get the proper tool from vw @doylebros ?

Tool bought VW Pullman - wasn't more than a tenner but don't rate it - like I said some take brute force - just have a break and go back to it - it will give although you may have to up the weight of the hammer.
Pesky jones:
@doylebros May sound funny but where are you applying the brute force? I've heard good things about the vw tool, so think I'm going to give that a go tbh.
Also, did you undo the three wishbone bolts first and pull the hub of the driveshaft, and THEN undo the m16 bolt and try prise open the clamp?
