BLACKG60, i would say easier , the secret with all of them is to use as little as possible (it says on the bottle/tin) they best way to describe the clearkote moose is that its like varnishing the paint
-
changing it shouldnt be a big job, caliper off, handbrake cable off, disc off , unbolt the hub and replace but i bet those bolts are a pia to get off :-(
-
hopefully it would be just the stub axle (6) which is showing @ £110 ! but i would do the rear bearings as if it is bent then they will be damaged hopefully it isnt the rear axle beam as thats £450 ! :-(

sounds like an air leak somewhere to me , i'd check all the pipes around the tb

-
go to c/et prog/etka .exe and right click the etka.exe and go to properties , click the compatibility tab and tick run this program in compatibility mode for windows 95 whether that works or not i dont know tbh but that is what is suggested above mate , is it 6 you're running?

might be best takin the arm off and yeah one thing always leads to another ;-( i just cant remember if the track rod end is a left hand thread but i've got a feeling it may well be but i'm sure you have tried turning it both ways
-
yeah you can pull back the gaitor and take the whole tie rod off the rack and get it in a vice if all else fails mate the tie rod arm screws into the rack hth daft question i know but you have undone the locking nut havent you ?
-
this better
-
the arm on the rack is shaped to take a spanner to adjust the toe in/out and remove the track rod end but you cant hold it tight enough ? have you tried some heat on it or soak it in wd40 ? be careful not to manhandle it too much as the steering arm goes into a knuckle and you dont want to damage that
-
sorry mate , i'm lost here , is it stuck in the hub or is it stuck on the steering rack ?
-
is it just spinning ? or not turning at all ? you mean the nut on the top of the track rod end ? or do you mean the locking nut on the rack ? have you got the hub off ?
-
each to their own , everyones entitled to an opinion , if we all liked the same thing it would be boring .... and rado prices would be sky high :-)

-

-
inpro or not inpro ... iirc the ddi ones are from an audi a4 and they zarmann quite a while to fit, the was or is a site showing the fitting somewhere

aye i was on about both , i would replace both ! the headling looks like a home made job , looks as though someone has shoved a tent up there :shock: only a couple of hours to replace the whole lot, give it a clean with some vanish powershot before you put it in the headlining is rigid with a card back to it but that looks like an old duvet cover :wink:
