Callipers, discs, pads, hub, front upright, tie-rod end, bearing, back plate etc...
Tried with all the will (and limited expertise) to get the snagging bolts out, but had to give up.
The result is I need the above.
- gti Callipers, discs (currently drilled and grooved as running g60) , pads, hub, front upright, tie-rod end, bearing, back plate etc…
Ideally a complete assembly so I can get on the road again ASAP.
Any parts, help or advice greatly received.
Thanks Damon

As said above, a good hard whack or 5 on the end of the track arm, not the ball joint or threaded part, should pop the track rod joint out. Put the nut back on to help protect it; just leave it loose. (Wear protective glasses; I got a bit of shrapnel imbedded in my nose doing this once)!
you may well be better off taking it to a machine shop if you don't feel you can do it all; not a lot of point in you spending loads of time only getting half of it done and then having to take it to someone else anyway.
Good luck.
The Red Rocket! My Mk1 Tdi Build.....
My VAG family:
1982 Mk1, PD130 Tdi, 6 speed, ongoing project, to be my daily driver (one day)!
1983 Mk1, 1.8 Gti, stripped out, ongoing project, track car only.
1990 Mk1 Cabrio, 1.8 8v Turbo, G60 ECU, long term project (17 years so far)!
2008 T5 LWB, 1.9 Tdi, to be converted to camper when I've finished using it as a van!
1999 Audi A4 Avant Quattro, 2.5 Tdi, currently off the road, more work required.
2010 Tiguan R-Line, daily driver.

I tried an easy out on the bleed nipple without any luck. I'll try to salvage some parts but after spending Saturday mostly swearing I think it might be a job too big for me.
Thanks again

Found these refurbished callipers (below), I won't be able to get an exchange on mine as I doubt its serviceable! They aren't Girling. Any advice?
