Look on the bright side, you're up one set of long nosed pliers clap

Second

In village of St Pee sur nivelles is A P Cars near Bayonne and guy is A car enthusiast, I found him because there is a rally at st jean de luz this weekend and I got a brochure at VW dealer one of the helpful garages.

Anyway off with the wheel and it is the off side wheel bearing, very noisy, might last so I sent for the bits but a tool is required.

All else is good wheel, tyres, brakes etc.

Thanks for the help.

What tool do you mean? Surely you can just knock the half-shaft out with a slide hammer.

Just to update you, despite the noise presumably made worse by load on the rear axle with heavy family members and luggage I managed to limp the car back to Santander and then limped it home from Portsmouth to Exeter, car left at Berrybrook and I also decided to fit a panhard rod.

Sorry about the spelling before android thingy decided to edit my typing, Mr Mog is a gentlemans auto carriage lowline of course not a lowlife!

Dunno why it decided it was a janice car?
