What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[dubster99]

Yeah that'd work too

The passenger side worked with my rattle gun but drivers side didnt budge. Going to try my mates rattle gun to see if its got more torque to budge it :/

Just be careful not to break your wrist haha. Also I wrinkle blacked my valve cover on the weekend...

looking good mate, thought about wrinkle black on the injection manifold too?

I was thinking maybe polished would look better on the manifold as then it would tie in with the cooler piping, then maybe some sort of polished goods on the left side of the bay (reservoir or something)so that the shiny parts flow across the engine bay

Thought about it but cbf taking it off tbh, the valve cover is just so easy. Maybe one day if I get really bored...

Careful with rattle guns becuase they have the potential to sear the bolt.

Get a long breaker bar and put a pipe on the end for extra leverage.

Also consider making a small incision on the bolt with an angle grinder. It would help reduce the structural integrity of the bolt which would likely help to reduce the resistance.

There is a rubber gasket, they are re-usable depending on there condition. What ever you do, install the gasket dry, don't use a sealant, it'll make a big mess and is not needed

Its a nut on the end of the shaft. I think either stock rim and a pole to hold it or big grips on shaft ane rattle gun.

Either that or put a spanner in the groves of the brake disk - jams nicely against the caliper. Do prefer the bar between the stock wheel because the spanner can end up popping out.
