I've been looking at the usual stores that sell tools but can't find a 12 point hex for the CV bolts. Anyone know where I can find one?

I can go to the local VW shop here. I just want to make sure it's going to be a quality tool.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Sep 7 2004, 03:55 PM

the one i bought was decent quality. but ... how many times do you use this tool???/

Posted by: ArtechnikA Sep 7 2004, 03:56 PM

often enough...

my 911 CV's use the 10mm one, and 12mm is the 911 flywheel bolt...

if you think stripping a CV bolt is bad, you haven't lived until you screw up a 911 flywheel bolt...

Hopefully once. I'll take a ride down to the VW shop later and see what they have. I did like that kit though.

Oh and by the way. Since I am going to the VW shop, will they have a flywheel lock for this as well?
