Hi VW fans,
Had to do the 2nd rear brake job on my 03 Jetta with 150,000 miles. The Metalnerd tool # 3272 worked great but I had to put the screw on my mill and do a small spot face so the Allen screw had a place to set into so the nut didn't turn while turning in the caliper pistons.
As my driveway is 3/4" crushed stone, the VW is getting rusty underneath. The dust shields are almost gone and should be replaced, but the hubs need to be removed to gain access to the bolts and my puller wasn't wide enough to pull the hubs. Next time maybe!!!

I’m pretty sure there’s a section specifically for posts such as yours. Something like, “What Did You do to Your VW Today.”
