woody 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Over a year ago was the last time I had the rear wheels off my C. Went to do it this evening and found out that the locking bolt removal tool to fit into the socket has gone missing. Oh Bugger ! I only haver them on the rear wheels as the boltys wernt long enough to fit on the front under the spacers for the brembo's. Anybody help out in the bournemouth area see attached picture. Only need to borrow it for a couple of mins as I have some replacement bots. Cheers Woody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Brookes 0 Posted April 4, 2006 woody they look like vw locking wheel bolts. My wifes beetle is fitted with the same. She is not due back until late, so cant help this evening, but could tomorrow if needed. Send a pm if you need help. Cheers Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Thanks for advice and PM.s everybody Sorted! Christchurch tyres smacked a socket onto them and removed them in a couple of mins. Would not even take any money for the job and he was really careful not to let the socket get anywhere near damaging the alloys. Gave him a tenner for the trouble anyway as I was told that to get a new set with a key would cost me £31 by wheel company. Please lock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
