Beautifully explained and excellent pace of conversation helping us novices to take it all in 👌

Thanks for this. Replacing a drive shaft entirely on my Fabia and this is very helpful. Lower suspension control arm at the same time too.

You're welcome! Ive got the front ARB bushes to do when the weather brightens up

[@stewasb]

can i ask where you got that torque value from for the hub nut as its clearly stated in hayes and online that the 12 point nut is 50nm so 200nm sounds well excessive ???

[@HowToFu]

found nm via briskoda

[@TheKde25]

It says 80nm on autodoc page!

[@timwarley3350]

Stripped at that. Force there quiet soft

[@steveblatchford1998]

It's 50nm plus 1/4 turn ... Don't do 200 that will break driveshaft after a few miles

I never removed my ball joint it come off fine and one thing if you remove the ball joint make sure you get wheel alignment done

[@louisspearing3096]

Banging vid just about to do mine on polo 6r 😇

[@RandomClips27.]

Just remove the m10 bolts on the inner drive shaft then no need to remove anything else so in turn saving money for a alignment

[@HowToFu]

?? I needed to release the ball joint from the wishbone.
Please explain again how you did it??
