Help please, mk5 brakes and front hub

Postby Gombeenman » Wed Aug 02, 2023 6:42 pm

Hi there, I’m looking for some urgent help. We’re supposed to be heading off on holiday this Sunday and as always I left it too late to work on the van !!

Euro car parts are telling me that they don’t have parts for the van. They always have before ! I’m after a caliper, front pads and disks.

She’s a 190 1996 lhd motorhome who has been as good as gold for 8 years. Tyres are 15’s.

While I’m on, the front disks are rubbing against the calipers on both sides, incorrect size discs do we think ?

Does anyone have a method for getting the axle/grease cap off ? It’s a silver dome and so far inside the wheel that I can’t get anything to prise it off… I’ll be drilling a hole and trying to yank it off soon :)

Sorry for all the questions, where best for speedy parts is most important.

All the best,

D

I used to use a small heel bar to get them off https://www.amazon.co.uk/Toolzone-4Pc-H ... 9493&psc=1
