Not VW but....
Perhaps I should have used a 3/4" drive with the scaffold tubing instead of me 1/2" Britool
Blinkin Zafira with alloys on the side of the M69 Sunday night
Shifted it in the end with the tube and a Snap-on sliding T bar but even that got bent

Now funny that YOU mention it..........................
I have just had to remove 2 rear wheels from a hinklevagon and I had to handbrake it, then chock the wheels(poor handbrake

) then use a 5 foot scaffold pole and put some effort in. so my question is ,do you use a 1" drive big 'F' off windygun..
Youd really have been stuck if you needed a change of wheel

the main problem is tyre fitters using windy guns to put wheels back on!

In the box of bits in the back of the van Mike there is my Snap-on 24" breaker bar with an "impact socket" that is my normal "get out of jail free card" and would have only used this to put em on
