12mm 12pt Head Bolt Bit

Though luck. I found one at a local Napa store. I doubt a dealer would have one to sell you. Perhaps germanautoparts.com has them.

Have you tried your local Autozone store? My local AZ stores carry those tools in a 3-pack of three different sizes.

Sears has them

So does shucks/kragen and Pepboys. Also called a tri-square.

This is about CVs but the tool is the same but in a different size. Most of the tie you can get a four pack, you'll end up just using the 8 & 12 mm sizes, mostly.

See my other reply re: Reinstall CV joint below.

Damn,

I didn't send the post I thought iI had. (was playing around with different mail programs).

Anyway lets see if I can reconstruct it...

You can get them ala carte (8 & 12 mm are the most used VW sizes, or get the four pack):

I was passing by Autozone and stopped to see(even though I called and they said they did not have any like that), and I found it. Huh.

My local Pep-Boys, Sears, Lowes, Harbor Freight or NAPA did not have one.(I went to these places)

There was one at a NAPA about 20 miles from my house though but had store hours I was incompatible with.

It is funny though how they say you don't know what your talking about, or that VW did this on purpose to get people to buy more parts from them.(Even though most(if not all) dealers don't have them). But what really got me aggravated was when a store 30 miles away says they have it, but when you get there they show you there 12pt SOCKET.

Thank you all for your help.
