So, me and my boy (Jack) have purchased the above for £200 for him to practice on as he's a first year motor mechanic student. Bit of Dad and Son bonding to boot. Update;

Caliper carrier bolts seized on

Wheel arch liner nuts seized in

Slam panel front grill panel screws seized in

Upside; we have money from the Boss for tools, shiny tools Oh, and we're having a hoot as mechano is my limit and I have been called "spanner b***h" on more than one occasion

WD40 is your friend....

 

[t-tony]

WD40 is your friend....

In many instances but sadly not for rounded out and siezed VW calliper bolts. Mole grips are your mate here!

Oh yes mate, positively bathing in the stuff, the nuts that is. Need a long bar for the caliper nuts to get some decent leverage.

We have a manual and determination, what could possibly go wrong

 

[Jack Ratt]

Invest in an impact driver if you can't afford a powered one. My boy bought an old Mk3 Golf and we had to beat hell out of the calliper bolts to get them lose.

Excellent bonding; you'll be able to compare spanner rash as well then soon...

Thanks mate, though she could be a pile of bits but as long as he's having fun I'm happy.
