[@-jmac995]

Love this man using this video on Saturday for my jetta

[@TheRwdyAudi]

hell yeah my dude. get it done 👊😎

[@dexterflorey3676]

Great video. I'm about to do both sides and xontol arms on my passat def helped me get an idea of what to expect thanks brother

[@ADroneGamer]

Great review ! Like a mechanical mike chen from strictly dumplings lol love your commentating it makes this hard job easy thanks brother

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Thank you my dude 👊😎

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Project Farm demonstrated Liquid Wrench to be better at loosening rusted bolts.

[@hardcore4476]

I seen that also. However PB blaster will work.

[@Thebearded_bald]

Awesome video bruh!!! Helped me a ton!! Thank you!!! 🤘🏽👍🏽

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Thank you my dude

On 4 minute time in this video you got it. You can take whole thing out when separate brake system from it.

[@auxmike718]

I just bought new bolts! Also, that’s strut assembly is crazy heavy!

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Yeah it is😅

[@chrissweisberger7509]

i just picked up a 2008 for my daughters boyfriend ( good kid - and will help him do this - thanks

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Your good dad 👊😎

[@emersonz849]

Lol the first few seconds of the clips and I’m like idk if I should trust this guy he didn’t remove the wheel in a star pattern

[@hardcore4476]

That’s to only put it back on..

[@r.t.7925]

That bolt for the Steering Knuckle (M12 x 1.5 x 80mm) is not reusable according to Volkswagen . It does have specific torque + another 90 or 180 degree(don't know exactly) so it is stretched and may fail if you use it second time . Same thing with the axle bolt . I'll be buying those and try to do the job without disconnecting the axle.

[@r.t.7925]

The two bolts and two nuts cost me $19 CND at the dealer.

[@TheRwdyAudi]

@@r.t.7925 Thats cheap around 28 $us I think. my usual rule of thumb with stretch to torque to yield is if its steel and not in the engine it probably okay to reuse ... now i can say from experience your okay reusing your axle bolts lol done it many times with no problems and i beat the snot out them lol

[@hardcore4476]

The dealer reuses everything unless the bolt looks damaged. A guy at Volkswagen dealership told me that and couldn’t believe it! I agree if it’s something like flywheel or motor mounts or something really important use new!

[@gregsmith332]

You're right. He's supposed to torque it to 148 ft-lbs off the ground, plus 180 degrees with the car on the ground. This guy simply just went full send on it with an 1,000 ft-lb impact wrench because he's too lazy to use a torque wrench.

[@TheBongoZeptobrewery]

Apparently that break is so common, when it happened to me everyone else said it's happened to them too.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

I'm watching this instead of going outside to do it. Seems there are a few different ways of doing it. Using a spreader tool to open the knuckle while smacking it and just loosening the top three bolts in the tower and just swinging the hub assembly out of the way. I'm too lazy to take that whole thing off. OK more videos to watch.

[@TheRwdyAudi]

some one gotta show the hard way of doing stuff lol

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

@@TheRwdyAudi That's what my older brother is for! Like your style.

[@drwatson1234]

Also some guys have used a 2x4 or metal bar to hold the strut in place so you can whack on the spindle and separate it. Placing the bar against the nut brace.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

@@TheRwdyAudi OK got it done. Was pretty easy too. I got the mechanic at work to do it. Slipped a 50 under the door later. I love my job.

[@hardcore4476]

Thanks! Do you have a rear shock video on similar mark 6 jetta?

[@drwatson1234]

Broken springs seem to be common VWs, happened on rears and then fronts, rears rust belt 85k and then 115k

[@AlienCatcher23]

My 2014 Jetta might have snapped a spring also… concerned about removing the strut without compressing it while it’s still on the vehicle

[@TheRwdyAudi]

dont worry about it to much if the spring is all ready broken, all the load on it is gone it wont fly apart. great question

[@bkretschmann90]

Both my front springs broke. Had a little more than 100k on em and I live in the salt belt. Gonna put Gabriel struts on. What brand did you end up using?

[@an3ony]

how did these hold up for you? My MK5 2.5 has a busted spring coil and this seems like a great alternative to OEM springs

[@TheRwdyAudi]

So far customer hasn't called and said he has had any problems with them. (Knock on wood)

[@baha2005555555]

what is the part number for the new part. I have VW Jetta hybrid 2013.

[@tambourineman8623]

What size is the triple square? 14mm?

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Yeah sir I do believe it was.

[@hardcore4476]

Does the owner like the new Monroe quick struts? Or has anyone tried these and like them?

[@TheRwdyAudi]

He hasn't complained, did an oil change on them about a month for him. On side note I've had really good luck with Monroe quik struts just in general for years.

[@gasgiant7122]

No need to remove the hub? Getting dirt into the bearing.

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Nah the hubs are sealed

[@nggomez354]

did you need to get aligning after replacing the struts?

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Yes you will need to get an alignment afterwards. The design of these struts directly affects your alignment. That said you can get it pretty close if you mark/index everything ahead of time. This customer happen to have e a lifetime alignment at firestone.

[@MeepMeep88]

I'm screwed..

[@anglesjr]

Hi I have a 14 jetta and the Monroe struts won’t slide in the whole where it stays, I tried to open the whole even more and won’t fit. Do I have to hammer it in and force it on?

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Great question and thanks for asking it. short anwer is no you shouldn't need to apply a lot of force a little hammering is okay but they should drop in. try to cleaning the bore up and verify you have the correct part number and part sometimes stuff get missed box . Also using alittle lube or even anti seize can and will help out with fitment

[@Haffmatthew]

I had this same exact issue on my 2013 Jetta S- turns out that most cars take a 55mm wide strut assembly, but VW also made a variant for certain trims and models that call for the 50mm one instead. After hours and hours of fighting it to go in, I realized I had been sent a 55mm strut housing and needed to return it and find and install a 50mm one.

[@Neighborly_Content]

I would take issue with the axle bolt. I tried to get it off a Jeep Liberty for a bearing replacement and ended up having to pull the whole left axle out and replacing because it wouldn’t budge. Honestly I’d think moving the caliper was a solid idea but I’d be more inclined to fiddle and hammer at the sleeve the lower strut is piped into. I’ve never had one not give eventually but it also reduces removing all those extra pieces. Just ordered the kit for my GLI so I appreciate the vid 👍🏻 but I may use some different methods. Also my bigger issue is removing my alternator pulley as it just won’t budge and VW gives no room to work. How hard is it to pull the alternator?

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Pulling the alternator isnt awful very very do able. By the way I was checking out your channel you got some really awesome looking stuff I'm have to check it out. I don't think an alternator job is gonna be very difficult 😎

[@Neighborly_Content]

@@TheRwdyAudi good to know, seems straight forward but I did my serpentine pulley (just the pulley) and still have a stupid whine/chirping. Just can’t get any leverage or proper placement because they shoehorned it in leaving no space. My wife’s 3.7L Liberty is like cake to work on, thanks for the props, maybe I’ll vid the alternator job too.

[@girafedigital]

My top spline has to be a 7mm. The 8mm is too big. The 6mm first, but as soon as I apply pressure it spins. Has anyone else had their’s be a 7mm? I’ll comment again once it comes in the mail for me to try the 7.

[@TheRwdyAudi]

I would bet someone has been in there before try something standard 🤔

[@girafedigital]

@@TheRwdyAudi I’ll see what I can try!

[@rafaelespin]

Your way it’s pretty tedious. But it’s okay to get more ideas.

[@jacobelijah68]

Is this the same for a 2014 gli

[@TheRwdyAudi]

69% sure it's the same 😅

[@gnarshread]

That's way to much work. Just cut the other 3 springs to the length of the broken one and send it!

[@TheRwdyAudi]

😂

[@tuber93422]

The speed.through part really sucks

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Thanks for the feed back.... I've been tossing the idea around of doing voice overs in separate uploads with the lapse camera ...lol "youtube gurus " say it good idea ... personally I think we all learn differently so the more ways something is made available the better.

[@espritdealaska]

@@TheRwdyAudi The KZbin gurus are wrong. Instructional videos should never be put at super speed, it completely defeats the purpose.

[@TheRwdyAudi]

That's a fair statement as I'm doing more of these I'll be very real I see higher retention when I don't incorporate the "lapse" section of the upload(especially with diy)that said I still hold firm to the ideals that we all different and each learn and comprehend in different manners. So to completely remove "lapse" style content from the channel would essentially alienate all of those who are looking for that style upload to get them through "X" job. What I will consider is separating the two forms of content, in the macro of it I'm all ready filming the work and it not much more time to create 2 separate pieces of content. Thank for your thoughts, the feed back means alot to me. An allows me to better cater to my viewers.👊😎

[@espritdealaska]

@@TheRwdyAudi No problem, I'm glad you take kindly to it!

[@garethpembridge3356]

Nope

[@dt8696]

Too much job.

[@TheRwdyAudi]

not really my dude you can do this

[@ericerection]

Where did you put the jackstand on the jetta? I literally can't find any good jackpoints other then the side of the vehicle

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Use the pinch weld or if you go higher you can use the sub frame that the steering rack is mounted to.
