Don't take a chance on using an Allen wrench. They may seem to fit but are not intended to take the torque like the 12 pointers. All it takes is one stubborn bolt and an ill fitting Allen to ruin your day. My local VW dealer sells these things for $12.95. Got the same brand form my FLAPS for $6.95. BenT |
