Tow hook

**** Note**** this fits only the rear****
I used the tow hook that came with the wife's Elantra.
Fits perfect in the rear and for $10.50 - it's a steal.
Part # 09147 - 0X000 :thumbs:

This is correct. Just stay out of WOT. The worst that can happen is that it will go into limp mode (at 155mph). Ask me how I know. LOL

I marked the front cameras on the bra and took it to a seamstress to make the cutouts and sew some stretch fabric around the opening. Total cost $5.00.
Cameras work flawless. :rock:

Update: The propeller shaft hub clamp is 2 1/4" - just like on the C6. So with that said - you can use an open wrench to hold the engine as you remove the dampener bolt. :thumbs:

Does GM still use the C6 type yoke on the A8 transmission? I ask because I used a 2 1/4" open wrench to hold the engine while removing the front harmonic dampener.

Ditto - what he said.
I tried pushing, pulling the radiator hoses but they still contact the air box.

Just route your belt over all pulleys and with the tensioner in all the way - make your last move. Slide the belt over the non groove w/p pulley and release the tensioner. :thumbs:
