So it looks like i have a leak on the drivers side coming from where the cv hooks into the front diff. Is all i need a replacement axle seal?

Also i have a 01 a4 Q, what size is the 12 point star to take those 6 bolts off.

Anyone can provide me a link to where i can order the correct size?


Thanks, (any other info on front axle seal replacement is helpful too)

 

Anyone??

 

i have the snapon one, got it from a truck when i didn't have the right tool and flagged him down in front of my house (thank god lol). he never charged me for it. he said he'd come back, never did. oh well. it was expensive too, like 40 bucks or something like that. it says "10 ftsmiole" on it.

 

Anyone else? What you say the tool says on it i dont come up with anything searching on google.

 

Should be an m8. Auto zone seems triple squares in a kit from m6-m12

 

The axle bolts are M8 triple square. Some of the non-OEM replacement bolts sold by ECS and others are 7mm allen heads.

 

Do i need to replace those bolts or no? If so what reason.

 

I don't believe so. I reused mine.
