Thanks for that, I too don't highly rate Neilens tools either, but I took a gamble on their offering for removing track rods as they were less than 1/2 or a 1/3, I can't remember, the price that Laser Tools sellers were asking for, and they worked okay on 2 cars.spartacus68 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:57 pm If you're attempting this job RUM4MO, then get yourself some internal cylinder circlip pliers. I don't really rate Neilsen tools, but their pliers are very good for this job. Also Autodoc tends to throw up numerous versions of brake rebuild kits, so look at the brake code for your car, if rear discs, etc, will be in the build data, this hopefully avoids you ordering the wrong part.
I'd think it is a case of knowing the limits for some of these cheaper tool brands, you and I are probably able to work that out and so stay out of trouble.
I'll look out for a pair of these ones shown in some of the youtube guides.
I pointed my mate towards Autodoc for some parts for older SAABs earlier this month and the delivery was quite quick, which was not what I had read on some forums, so they are still on my list of possible parts suppliers - they seem to have found their way into my lap top already!
I think my comments about piston diameter might not be relevant with Polos from 2015, but it seemed an issue for Polos round about 2002 when I first looked into this job on my wife's previous Polo.
