Hi folks so my plan was to maybe remove the shafts and vcu just until i can source another, have not done it yet obviously and you never know i might not and just replace it when i get another, however i believe its torque sockets either end to remove, and have just found a small set in my tool box so was hoping i had the sockets here! and dont have to go and buy any extra ones lol
i have E6, E8, E10, E12, E14 AND E16
so will these do or will i have to buy any additional sockets from halfrods?

The first prop I removed I did it with hex sockets - but the underside of cars here are much less rusted and seized up that in UK.

The bolts are not particularly big or small - so chances are you've got the right size. They are very accessible just to get under and see if you sockets will fit.

Whether you should remove the props or not though is only dependant on your VCU and tyres. If your tyres are not identical or your VCU is giving a 1WUT of over 90 seconds the prop needs to come off. If the 1WUT is over 1 minute then you need to order a replacement VCU but are probably safe to drive the car until it arrives.

Some confirmation or otherwise from others on that last bit would be welcome!

so its ok to run them maybe slightly different to spec for different tyres etc, as long as all are the exact same yes? 30psi seems really low does it not?
