Can't get at it from above, steering rack and driveshaft in the way underneath. One of the top bolts can't be seen without a mirror, bolts fit from opposite directions and the odd-one-out has to be accessed from up-top.
Not the owner, just the bloke who looks after it.
ALL the owner does is drive it and put fuel in.

MK7 RWD Transit discs fit BEHIND hubs, so rears you have to pull the half shafts then take ABS reluvter ring off hub before removing disc. Fronts are just as bad and you end up fitting new wheel bearings too! Madnes!

Cynic? Me?
Some cars, if the ABS wheel sensor fails, you have to change it complete with hub & bearings as a unit . S instead of a £15 sensor, it costs you £85 or more
