Byron,


Discount Import Parts, 8622B SW Hall Blvd., Beaverton, OR, Phone (503)
626-7036, has a 46mm axle nut tool for $9.95.  I used this on my '84 Vanagon
GL.  It is not a socket but accepts a 1/2 inch drive socket ratchet. 


Also, are you aware of Halsey Import Parts Distibuting, 7721 NE Halsey,
Portland, phone (503) 256-0182, (800) 792-0081. They have the best
priced/quality VW parts I have found.
