I opened up a can of worms...the nightmare project!

.

All I wanted to do was a simple brake pad, brake disc and bearing replacement on the rear side of the GTI but nothing is every simple...more parts needed to be repalced which have been order and hopefully I'll have some free time this to get this time rolling on the road again before winter set's in here in the Midwest!...plus my driver's side window regulator broke last Saturday so I have that part on order also...murphys law everythings goes at once...go figure...
