This seriously is a bitch, you want to come over here and help me man, i live in Overland Park, Kansas. Stop by and give me a hand. I knew those damn bolts wernt welded. I still dont understand what taking the wheel off did, onepoint8tee had a b5, and im not sure but i have a b6 and it might be a little different, obviosly it is cause those bolts are defintally not welded. I am seriously about to hurt my self..but not really

 

sry man i live in NY lol. i would come give u a hand though lol. well have fun and let us kno when u get it done and put up a vid too

 

Yeah i will, but right now im just thinking WTF AM I GOING TO DO?!?! Things will work their way out, they USUALLY do.

 

Jesus man WTF is the problem? I've never had a problem pulling a cat out of a 1.8, have you ever heard of penetrating oil? Spray some PB blaster or something on the bolt and let it soak overnight so you can take a break. The next day the bolts should be loosened up and easy to turn out.

 

I did that, last night, and the night before..and im doing it tonight....look at the pics, how did you get those bolts off. B/C they arnt welded, and I dont think you can get them off from the wheel well but im not sure..Im just trying to get some help. Im sorry that im not a professional audi tech and it takes me 3 days to do a small little project.

 

that's nothing man it took me 3 days to change 1 control arm lol

 

If they aren't welded, stick a wrench on the bolt from the top, then use a big *** extention and ratchet from the bottom. When you turn the bolt the wrench on the top will get stuck against either the block or the body and should give you enough torque on the bolt to take it out.
If you don't have those tools, take your happy *** to an autoparts store and remedy that situation.

 

I could start a garage with all the tools I have...does taking the wheel off do anything on a b6, or is that just the b5?

 

You only need to take the wheel off if your tools suck. I never do, but if it makes it easier for you to do its not like its hard labor.

 

If the top was spinning and you had to hold both sides to get the nut off, the weld broke. A lot of times the whole bolt/studwill break off which makes things easier. I hope you are using a heavy duty floor jack or jack stands while your under the car!
