Hi Everyone,
Arrived here looking for some help with the front suspension of my '98 Passat. Bought the kit for the full replacements and have decided to put in new shocks while I have it all apart. Would someone be kind enough to send me the sequencing for this so I avoid any missteps. Also, the hex bolt through the wishbone for attachment of the upper arms has resisted some pretty vigorous efforts to remove. I only have a propane torch and I'm thinking I'm not getting it hot enough. Any ideas there? Klann has a tool for $537!! May need a nuclear weapon of sorts. I've done a search in the forums but didn't find anything. Perhaps I'm not entering the right keywords.
Any help would certainly be appreciated.
Regards from Maryland,
John
