Quote: if you ever need front wheel bearings, i have 2 brand new ones thatll work with your car
How much you sellin them for. AND A NOTE TO EVERYONE WITH THE 2001 1.8T QUATTRO MANUAL TRANS! ONCE AGAIN MIKE WAS COMPLETELY CORRECT! IF YOU GO TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS TO GET CV AXLES ORDER FOR THE 2.8 NOT THE 1.8! I GOT MINE AND IT FIT PERFECTLY!!! Although they didn't give grease for the bearings and didnt put grease in the outter...that was a pain. Then they kept saying "They should be greased" as I sat there telling them on the phone they weren't and it didnt come with any. Didnt know moly grease was invisible and cause the outer joint to move like metal grinding. I love when people talk to you like your an idiot. I'm no expert but I know some common sense. Had to pack grease in through the outer joint spindle (didn't have a clamp removal tool. Thanks for the help guys. Only thing left to do is fix the MASSIVE oil leak.

Quote: you don't need to take the tranny out to replace an axle. which bolt are you talking about that sheared? the one that mates the axle with the hub? it sounds like you have the wrong part. the splines on the axle and hub should match up very closely. it's not easy getting the splines to line up perfect lol.
What way did you turn the hub? Because i got the entire axel out took the wheel off and needed to unattach this part. Im just not sure if you have to turn the hub the opposite way or not.
