True but your never putting a full 200 on the bar.  You always have to be hanging onto somthing to balance ones self.  So you lose about 100 lb's. :o

Thank you - you just gave me a new pick up line:

"Here honey; hold this for balance - you will  loose weight....."

LMAO jj:

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

I'm worried about you, hitting on chicks that need to lose (at least) 100 lbs! Is Bug your wingman when you go out hunting ;D

If your breaker bar is two feet long, you weigh 200 pounds and you stand on it, you are applying 400 ft/lbs of torque to the fastener. Jumping up and down could double or triple that...


I only need a 1 foot breaker to stand on for the proper torque.  :-[

I don't know if this part completely addresses the problem.  As Fast was mentioning earlier, they played with several parts to get it to all work with the brake hat etc.  This part doesn't show a hat to hold the brake rotor or does it?.  And I don't know if yours will bolt on if they were using the hub backwards.  If this part includes a brake rotor, you need to make sure that it would line up correctly with your caliper.  I don't know anything about VW parts so mabey someone else can say if that 4 bolt flange bearing is stock VW.  If it isn't then you may need a custom caliper mount, or if you bought a complete hub/brake kit It may not bolt up with the correct spacing.

Summation:  I don't know anything about these, but if I ordered the parts they probably wouldn't fit.  ;D
