cut the little bugger. just cut the axle, and replace it later. sounds like its easier. thats my 2cents.
I wonder how easy is it to find replacement parts for a 1985 VW Cabriolet?alexcrouse;bt993 said:cut the little bugger. just cut the axle, and replace it later. sounds like its easier. thats my 2cents.
I think your big problem is here, not with that bolt.Wife is not happy as lack of progress means a long cold winter without being able to park in the garage.
I'm talking about the small (8mm) bolts that go through the CV at the transmission. I may need replacements. I'm new at this. You mention drilling the head off. Do you mean cut the head off and then drill the remainder out?duct-tape;bt998 said:have you gotten this fixed yet? you're talking about the small bolts that go through the CV at the transmission right? not the big one at the end of the axle at the steering knuckle.
the easiest way to remove it is drill the head off, I've got 30 or so axle bolts to spare if you need some.
If you're talking about the big axle bolt, the best is to soak it daily for 3 or 4 days with PB blaster, and then use an impact gun.
