I've pretty much given up on getting them loose with the 6mm Allen, because the Allen socket is just too shallow in that button head. Use a cold chisel to make a notch in one outside edge, and then strike it tangentially and it will spin right out. Use anti-seize when you reinstall them, but don't put on so much that it can get on the brake surfaces. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
