I want to remove the rear stud axle weel nut on a New Jetta 2000. What is the right tool for that. I guess this is a 12 point 30 mm box. Is that true?
Thanks!

For what reason?
I think that is "stub axle".
A pair of pliers should remove the cotter pin and the nut easily; it should not be very tight. Putting it back on will require the big socket tho. That requires torquing and backing off.
I think it is a 6-point nut on my car; doubt that has changed.
I had thought 30 mm for mine based on searching, but it was not. I did not note what the size was in the same place that I noted that it was not 30.
Are you trying to figure out if a cutting torch would be the tool of choice? Let's assume he is doing it for one of the normal reasons, and is not trying to be destructive.
