Ok, so Im too cheap to have my bearings done..Anyone seen this DIY from Vortex?
I couldn't find a step-by-step on this forum but found this on Vortex for a MK4 Jetta (should be the same as my FWD).
Where would I get the 30mm triple square socket to remove the axle nut?
Also I assume the gear puller will remove the bearing hub assembly from the stub axle. Can this be rented from Autozone or other parts store?<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2940430">Replace mk4 rear wheel bearing and hub assembly</a></li></ul>

LOL. It's not a XZN (triple square) socket...
it's a standard 30mm twelve point socket.
Leave it to a Vortexer to get it wrong. I don't think XZN sizes even go above 16mm.
Get one anywhere with a decent tool selection, including Sears.

Re: I thought you sold for a mazda, what happend?
Handing this TT over to a relative that will pay me monthly payments. I am trying to get things fixed as much as possible before handoff. Mazda is nice but I am not 100% sold on it yet. Right now I dont have a replacement car in mind.

Re: Financing a relative?
No Kiding!!! Can you say lifetime warranty? At least that's what said relative will probably expect, or stop paying the first issue they run into. I sold my Z3 to my sister in law and after a year she told me how I ripped her off because the current value was less than she paid a year ago. No kidding! What really sucked is that I sold her the car for less than market value, it was spotless and it had 3 more years on the CPO. Never again!!!
