working on a friend's A6, but I believe it's the same on most later model Audis.

38mm? That's huge ... I guess you are working on the tie rod not just the tie rod end.

Wasted about 20 min on it today before I decided to put it back together and order a set of complete tierods. I've done it before, without the crowfoot, but the crowfoot makes life much easier.

I haven't heard back from my friend with the A6... she also needed CV boots.... maybe she choked on the price of all the parts and decided to wait on the repairs. Or maybe she's looking for a 2nd opinion. Lol.... women.... but I digress.

Anyway, I'll be here for her when she finally trashes the actual CV joints from driving around with ripped boots (joints were already totally dry). And we'll do the tie rods then too. If she doesn't call me by the end of the day I can't get the parts in before the weekend.

Thanks, and I'll give you a call if I end up needing it.
