    Ahh! help please. I ordered this kit from Ecstuning b/c their support rep suggested it and told me they were all the same. http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Passat_B5-4_Motion-1.8T/Drivetrain/Axles/CV/ES1478/ But the kit comes with a 27mm hex axle bolt, instead of the 17mm allen bolt that...

    1.8 t ATW. I tried and tried no luck. I gave up. Is this bolt absolutey essential??? I had it almost all the way in, but it definitely felt cross threaded so I backed it out. The bracket itself has a lot of bolts holding it down. Someone make me feel better.

    I'm replacing the front wheel bearings on my step-son's 2000 Passat 1.8T auto, and the new wheel bearing kits came with axle bolts that have the 17mm hex key head, while those on the car have the 14mm hex key head. Can I use the 17mm hex key head bolts instead? Do I then use the 140ft/lbs...

    I am looking for input here. Has anyone heard anything about Hex Logic buffing pads and had anyone used them before? Is the quality just as good as the Lake Country pads? Is there a benefit with the "hexagon" shapes in the pad? The only thing I can tell from looking at them would be, a little...
