kaisersolsay 0 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 What size of allen socket do you need to remove the rear carrier brackets on a MK3 VR6? 8mm and 10mm don't seem to fit. Surely can't be 9mm or they? Link to post Share on other sites
forge_vw 0 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 HiI think they should be 10mm mateI get a small screwdriver and get all the crap out of the hex head first and tap the allen key socket in right to the bottom of the head, to get full contact.If you strip off the calliper you can get them loose with a GOOD pair of vise grips.Maybe they have been opened up with crap tools in the past.Chris k Link to post Share on other sites
