With the correct advice that Rich has put above, along with the above quote...

This really highlights why looking into things and also just trying things rather than relying on the internet is a good idea. 

How much camber are you trying to add anyway? 

yeah I just wanted to see if it was just my friend that had troubles with the lines, ill be trying when my new hubs turn up and about -5 I believe it will be as im adding 3-2 washers

the rear brake lines don't have to snap.

if you attack them with a spanner hoping that they will undo then they will be liable to.

if you prepare them and undo them nicely you might get them.

yeah they'll be covered in a lot of wd40 before removal and ill be as carful as possible haha

i will swap you a set of 6n2 caliper carriers and stub axles for a set of stubs and plated carriers.

so the 6n2 stub axles have the calliper carrier attached?

Nope only parts i changed was beam and bushes. I remember using a lot of Plusgas though.
On the old beam I'm pretty sure I just hack sawed off the mounts the brake lines go through. I could then separate the flexy and hard lines.

yeah im very tempted to just cut the mounts off to be honest.

the carrier is not fitted to the stub axle on the gti or the sport.

they both use a carrier plate system.

yeah I have just discovered this haha didn't really pay attention even tho I stripped the bloody thing. so what do you recommend?

[rear beam swap. brake line problems]

I have a whole gti beam assembly, just going to swap out the whole beam as ive striped the gti one back and painted it. the carrier is attached to the stub axle on a gti tho so I can just  add washers behind the stub axle and it will angle both where as with the sport id have to fit washers behind both the stub axle and the calliper carrier  

[rear beam swap. brake line problems]

right im in the process of swapping my sport beam out for a gti beam as I want to be able to add camber easily and as the gti has a single construction stub axle and this will be easier to work with! ive been told the rear brake lines will snap if I try un do them? so looking for advice/ tips and tricks and if anyone knows where to get lines?

[Rear beam replacement]

when changing the rear beam did you get new rear brake lines? as im swapping my beam for a gti beam and been told the lines will just twist and snap?

Stretched tyres, arch rolling at the least. Because the centre bore is 60.1 and VW is 57.1 you might want to get spigot rings too.

Cheers mate

[New wheels for lupo]

They are a size of 15x8, 4x100, et0 60.1 so has anyone got any idea if they'll fit stright on or will need arch rolling or spacers?

Mine has done the same I think the only way to fix it is by just getting a new component, scrap yard is where I'll be looking
