A Rallye with air con!? :o Makes you wonder why the original owner didn't buy a GTi6 instead... Does it have any other comfort options, electric windows or CD changer etc?
Oh so hang on fork cut outs on the bearing facing the front bumper and the fork arms slot trough the cutouts and push on the back of the bearing instead of what I said initially
Is it a case of getting the splines lined up first then doing the fork or do they have to be done at the same time?
Nothing else just AC I don't know much about the car before my ownership really, its a JNH reg there was 3 (1 of each color) sold from one dealership a dude called James owns the white one, saw that at pugfest which was cool but don't know the whereabouts of the red one
You were right the first time, the fork hooks in-between the pressure plate and release bearing. It can then 'pull' the bearing which in turn pulls on the pressure plate...hence these being 'pull type' instead of the more common, and much easier, push type.
As cully says, it's all done blind and at the same time... definitely worth having someone help with it.
