alright, my collar bolt is the 14mm allen, but the wrench is not a great fit in there as it looks to be fairly stripped. any suggestions on how to get it off? perhaps taking it to a shop who can break it loose for me?

kenny

 

im sry wut's the collar bolt. is it the one that holds the spindle to the cv halfshaft?

 

if its teh bolt for your axle then its not an allen its a tripple square( like a torixs with more points)

 

no the bolt that holds the spindle to the cv halfshaft is an allen one. at least on my quattro tranny it is. ur fwd might be diff lol

 

its the axle bolt in the middle of the wheel that im trying to remove so i can do my control arms and cv boot.

 

and its definately not a triple square.

 

ok we're on the same page then. put up a pic of how bad it is. spray some pb blaster on it too but don't put a torch on it because the heat can damage the bearings. see if u can get a vise grip plier on it and then turn while using the 14mm too. there's really not much u can do. make sure u replace the bolt though.

 

yeah nvm that is an allen i was talking the bolts that hold the axle to the tranny.

 

If you're trying to take out the "hub" bolt that holds the CV axle to the spindle with a 14mm allan then your gonna strip it because its a 17mm hole.

 

o ya. if u do indeed strip it. see if u can sumhow weld the allen socket to it and then u'll get it out for sure
