if you are buying tools for this repair on a later mk4 polo note that the hub nut is usually 36mm not 30mm, the strut nut is 19mm not 21mm and the lower pinch bolts is an m14 spline drive not m12
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, we can not recommend another tool in which this replacement can be made, otherwise, we recommend contacting the service center of your car. Best regards, Autodoc team
Why do so many mechanics run from antiseize compound like it's acid? Many joints and mating surfaces here are rusty and harder to remove because they don't bother to use a bit of copper antiseize on the threads/surfaces and LOVE to deal with hard to remove, stuck and even broken bolts because of rusty threads and stuck parts. Otherwise good tutorial.
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, it is difficult to answer your question, possibly from inexperience or ignorance about the existence of such a wonderful remedy as copper grease. Best Regards, Autodoc team
