GTI Front brakes - and replaced stock brake pads and rotors in the rear
Here are the old rear brakes. At 119,000 km's I think they were due..
New one's installed and bled
FRONT BRAKES 6/28-?? 2008
Front drivers side Tie Rod - End would not come off the rod so it had to go
Here's the tool I rented from Canadian Tire to reinstall the Tie Rod - I wanted to be able to use my Torque Wrench, not just use a crescent wrench to install it. I put a small dab of blue Lock-tite on it.

A shot of the old tie rod - gotta love Canadian winters
Cut the end off the old rod so I could reuse the dust boot. I love my sawzall!
Here is a shot of the new tie rod end next to the old one.
And a picture of the end installed at 55 ft lb.
New spindles with hubs installed
Completed front brakes
