RE: How To - 016 Quattro Transmission Axle Flange Seal R&R

[dak@server107.dpspps.kodak.com (David Kavanagh staff)]

I did a seal on my 5KTQ a few weeks ago, and will need to do it on the
new 91 200Q. I found that jacking the opposite side up so that the wheel
was just off the ground allowed me to rotate the drive shaft (and get at
all the bolts). When I needed to break a bolt free (or torque one), I
just crammed something under the tire, to prevent it from turning. I
could do this all from under the car (so, no getting up and down!).
If I had an assistant, the brakes would have worked instead!
I swear, after enough time, I'll get good at this! :-)
