Not VW but....
Perhaps I should have used a 3/4" drive with the scaffold tubing instead of me 1/2" Britool :shock: :evil: :cry:

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 :twisted: :twisted:

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 :D ) 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!
