I have a 2007 Jetta 2.5 and it needed a 24mm, not 27mm. Also, what size triple square XZN should I use? I tried the M10 and it was too small, and the M12 was too big.
So strange! Thank you for letting me know! and I am not sure which size I used in this video! Let me know when you get it all sorted! Happy Motoring-Blair
@@bradwessels6543 I noticed that. I watched many other videos on RUclips and this is the only video I could find that said 24 and not 27. However, I laughed when he does, in fact, say 27mm later in the video at 5:54 haha
@@Revitauto Just wanted to follow up. I finally got a new bearing hub assembly on my girlfriends 2007 Jetta 2.5. Many other videos say you need a 27mm (you even said it at 5:54 haha) but 24 is what my model needed. The T47 bit socket was a little annoying to find, but I found one. When removing the four hub bearing triple square bolts, my triple square set had M6, M8, M10, and M12. I needed M11. I haven't seen one video or forum say M11. Most say M12 (like yours) and I found one that said M10. So I had to special order an M11 from Amazon. I sprayed them with PB Blaster and hammered them, but when I went to use the M11, it stripped the bolts. I managed to hammer a T55 bit socket into the soft metal bolts and was able to remove 3 out of the 4 bolts. The 4th bolt stripped with the T55. So then I grabbed the M12 XZN triple square and hammered that into the 4th bolt. I was able to get it free. My new Fag brand bearing hub assembly came with T60 bolts. I was able to clean the pocket (there was a ton of rust) where the new assembly goes and install it with the four T60 bolts. The most challenging part was getting the 3 bolts on the bottom to line up and slide in. My strut was not in line at all, and I had to yank it to the front of the vehicle to get it to sort of line up. I also had to have the axle splines just half way into the bearing when trying to line up those 3 bolts with the holes. I'm not sure how your strut stayed in line so easily. Everything else went ok. Just goes to show... no matter how many forums and videos you consult, there's no easy way to know what tools you'll need. And even if you do have the correct tools, you might still be out of luck. I'm lucky I was able to use the T55 and M12 on the M11 bolts. Good luck and thanks for the great video.

Thank u so much
You are welcome!
Any tips... I broke my 1/2” breaker bar trying to remove the 24mm 12 point axle bolt
WOW! Thats crazy only thing I can say is borrow an impact gun or get a larger breaker bar!
