Well I guess that's one way to do it. I'll admit as a professional Red Seal Automotive Technician who also teaches apprentices in college, this was rather hard to watch... But if you're in need of getting it done with only the bare minimum of tools available it's gotta get done; but as a general rule this is not the proper way to remove a VW axle flange to get to the seal.
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor My 1993 vw Cabriolet has this same manual transmission. My drive flange inner seal/cap has leaked out into the long axle's cv joint, causing the black grease and gear oil to make a complete mess behind the engine and hot exhaust parts. I will try to replace the seals and the round flange seal with the transmission still in the car.
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor real mechanics (like you) show how to make the job happen without 1000 USD of special tools. Some of these guys don't get it that we work on 69 different models. You can't always have the special tool. Thanks for your contribution.
Usually, when a person gives themselves a title like "Doctor", it implies competent. You are no doctor. But you are well intentioned I'm sure. I intend no harm.
