Post by dantheram »

A body know of somewhere I can get replacements ready made - my rear lines are nearly worn through.

You can get them already made up from EuroCarParts - I replaced some on my red one in advance of the MOT.

GSF - £25 each, 6N0611763J & 6N0611764J if anyone needs them in the future

P.S.

Has anyone got any tips for this job, any specific tools make it easier?

Thanks,

Dan

9x11 and a 12x14 one is the answer

Penetrating oil, a wire brush and a butane heat gun - oh and a bit of patience :wink:

Cheers, only things I'm missing are the 12x14 spanner and the patience :D

Alex, what size are the nuts? I know one is 11mm but what about the others? Saves me buying 2 more spanners if it's just a 12mm. Halfords do a 13&14 and a 10&12.
