Apparently your local Sears doesn't have a Lisle Tool section :-( And you'll never find specialty tool items like this at a "fast-food" variety auto parts store like Autzone, Advance Auto, Napa, etc..... Call Jim's Custom VW in Columbiana (south of Youngstown). They've got 'em (least they did when I stopped by there in 1999 on my "Gypsy Tour" before I headed home out to the left coast). Jim's Custom VW 800 621 3503 219 St Rt 7 Columbiana, OH 44408 The 12 point variety is 8mm. The 6 point variety is 6mm. -- Jim Thompson 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 73 K Ghia Coupe "Denise" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com ********************************** On 3/7/06, rsf <feller@carboncow.com> wrote: > > So I need to swap out my rear axle and it has the 12 point "allen like" > studs in there.
