Yesterday i asked you if i had to take off the 2 bolts holding the anto-roll bar on my side off, you said no. But i had already loosened the bolts because my POS haynes manual told me to, but what happend is they are spinning on both sides cause i cant hold the top of them and tighten the bottom ya know? so my question is what the HECK do i do know, the bolts are still secure but they are loose with a wrench but how am i going to tighten them back up??

im still trying to prey the control arm down, i cant seem to get a good angle or somthing. when you guys do this with a CV axle where are you putting the bar, is the wheel straight or turned, anythign would help, thanks guys.

also im not sure if i read correctly, is replacment of the triple square bolts a must?

Now all i need to know is if replacment on the triple square bolts is neccissary, and if so where i get them and what they are called

After removing them, degreased, they looked fine, not a scratch. These bolts are very hard and tough.
You can replace them if you wish to play it safe.
I bought some from an Audi dealer at $2.25 ea. Invoice indicated that they called them Polygon fasteners.

As for the swaybar, I used a stubby box-end wrench to hold those bolts.

thanks for the quick response Will

BTW, if you've already removed the sway bar, you can use a jack to get it back up so you can tighten it back down.

It is a PITA otherwise IME.

I dont know about the 5k's, but on my 200tq which uses an axle "bolt" intead of a nut, I didn't have to do anything but unbolt inner CV joint flange and axle bolt, slide it away from transmission and my front shaft was out. No need to mess with strut, ball joint or sway bar. Are the 5k's different or automatics for that matter?
