Removing Front Hub

Rosco · 06-12-17, 04:51 PM

Hi Forum, I am trying to remove the front hubs from my Audi Coupe quattro (b2).

I've got the correct socket size for it, but the hub is just spinning.

How do I stop the hub and driveshafts from spinning? Should I have loosened the bolt while the brakes were on?

You should have loosened the bolt when the wheel was still on and on the deck. Will easily crack off with a nice long extension bar.
