As you've already heard, use a lug bolt with a couple of nuts locked
together, attach a wrench and go to town.  Redline MTL can be had at
all the finer Scirocco list endorsed venders, notably off the top
of my head (what a suprise!)  Mike at Virtual World (www.parts4vws.com)
and Mark at Adirondak (www.germanautoparts.com).  No, I'm not making
fun of you, it's just that these guys are our go-to people for
pretty much everything. :)  Get the Redline, it makes a difference.
