O Gurus of Rocdom

[kywes@bellsouth.net (Wes Brockway)]

Ok, so I'm pulling my first Scirocco 16V tranny and it's going pretty
good. Except now I need the tool to remove the drive axle bolts, an 8mm
double square I believe? Anybody know if this is something Sears sells
in their Craftsman tools? I checked at Autozone to no luck. Napa?

Next, the Bentley says to remove the driver's side transaxle mount from
the frame and transaxle. I'm having trouble getting the bolt out of the
mount and getting to the transaxle mount where it is bolted to the
frame. Suggestions greatly welcomed. Otherwise a fairly painless
experience so far, metaphysically speaking as my hands and arms are
pretty scratched and beat up.

Ron, if I can't get the tool to remove the axles I guess I won't make
Monday. Would Tuesday work?

Sure Wes, see my b/c emails, we can get this fixed up in one day during
the week.  I have vacation on May 11 week and would like to get it done
before then, if you're willing to drag it up to Cincy.
