I've been trying to do it a similar way, but I don't have the scaffold, just a breaker bar and I can't shift the bolt. Mine must be on really tight. Did you use a new bolt or is there no point?

I guessed the fronts would probably fit, but I want to know for certain if the rears will also. I know some A6 c4 parts are slightly different, like front wings. So do URs4 rears fit my 100 c4?
