[s-cars] Half shaft removal

[Ed Kellock]

Just did this on my 93 V8 and it's 12mm triple-square.  Not sure there'd be
a difference between that and the urS4, just FYI.  But it's definitely not
an allen.  I learned that the hard way on a previous car.

After release the inner end of the half shaft, in order to extract the
spindle completely from the outer hub I had to turn the steering one way or
the other to provide clearance.  Keep in mind the ABS sensor poking into the
area.  Bentley says to pull it out slightly (to move it out of the way of
harm).

There are 6 TRIPLE SQUARE--- NOT ALLEN head, bolts that hold the axle on the
flange.  Remove them and the axle will come off.  I just did this job 3
weeks ago but can't remember what size triple-square bit it is... 10mm I
think, but you'll have to confirm.

Hi guys,

Patient is a '94 UrS4

Just trying to change a CV boot, and struggling to get the half shaft out.
Do I need to remove the allen head bolts from the flange that goes into the
gearbox? Or do I pull that out of the gearbox still attached to the half
shaft?

Thanks!
