you can tell this young guy is pretty sharp. GOOD mechanics are born not made.

That's unfair!!!! After 6 agonising hours of trying to get this done, you make it look SOOOOOO easy.... thanks for helping this old man to get the rear brakes done..

I watched this video so many times I feel like I have it memorized.Thank you for putting this out.This video saved me a big headache trying to do my brakes on my 84 GTI.

I like the simplicity of your explanation and especially that you are specifying the torque for each bolt, therefore someone does not need to look further.

Great clear demonstration tutorial!

[@mattalki]

This is a really well done video! Thanks for the step-by-step on this.

Watched the video and changed my rear brakes on mk3 rag top 1995 exactly the same thanks for the help.

Done superbly

I will be using this tutorial. Tx bud. Really high-quality video.

I remember doing almost this exact thing to my 95 Cabrio. I don’t know anything about cars but for some reason I was motivated to do that and I remember it being incredibly complicated and taking me like four or five hours. Cool stuff to know how to do though.

Wish i had this video 3 months ago, had the hardest time trying to assemble the springs for the first time but we got it in! Great vid as always

Nice and thorough instructions with no unnecessary BS. I just bought a mk2 Jetta and many of your videos apply to my car as well. You're helping me out a lot.

Really useful video mate, as I'm doing them on my MK2 Scirocco as I type. Watched this video many times for reference, so thanks again and keep up the great content!
