Yep, that doesn't surprise me at all. Like anything else, you work to the opposite direction than you are at when at all possible. Tools slip, things break and we all get brain farts so it should be made into a habit.
"right between the eye's" tells me he was "sighting" the pull for some reason. I've seen that before but usually it's because the person had a tool slip off because he/she wasn't pulling straight. Good post POM!

Got a mount made up for my speed sensor. I need to finish wiring it up tomorrow.
Though while I was down there noticed oil staining on the stub axel cover? Sorry not Versed in VW transmissions.
I was down there not long ago and that wasn’t there. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Nice. I thought everyone put them on the wheel area.

I have no clue. Though I’m going to have to order another one and add it to a front wheel.

It all just depends on what works. My swing axle car doesn't allow me to see the axle moving unless I'm looking at a rotor. My rotors have tabs on them when they bolt to the hub, made for a very nice tooth for a sensor to see. A car with drum brakes would be a little trickier. There are trigger wheel type things made to bolt onto the IRS axles at the CV joint. Mainly used when people do subie swaps and such. That's how I'd do it if i had an IRS car.

Microsquirt doesn't have any speed sensor inputs, what are you gonna do?

As long as your are there I think it would behoove you to check the seals on the trans and the stub shaft plus check the boots at both ends of the axle(s) to see what shaped they are in. Also, look at the neck of the boots as the clip on the end of the CV joint boot that closes out the boot to the axle, for example, is missing. Make sure that the rubber is not aged at the same time.
Also, as I remember that seam that is shown in the boot should be horizontal to the ground not vertical to reduce the stretching of the seam as the axle goes up and down. There are two arcs that the axle goes in but the up and down arc has the most travel.

Lee, that axle rotates. Including the boot. Luck of the draw that it ended up upside down on that particular photo.

I wanted to get this one working to try and see if it’ll show clutch slip.
I’m going to send in my speedo and for $15 they add an output so non driven speed.
I’m gonna clean up my engine after reading some stories last night I have a minor leak. I need to clean off my engine and everything else.
Thanks for the input

I think that is a worthwhile mod. Now you can do a few extra things with it that you couldn't before.
