9mm 12 point socket

[ceatock at sympatico.ca (Chad Eatock)]

Ok....went to princess auto and they have no 9mm 12point sockets!!!  This is
fucking pissing me off!!  I'm spending more on gas looking for tools than I
do on fixing the rocco!!  I got a new Sachs clutch kit as well, and without
the alignment tool in it!!  VW says the tool is no longer orderable....so my
friend suggested using 2 sided tape to align the cluth cuz when the clutch
is in use the tape just burns off without damage.....do I need to get new
pressure plate bolts as the bentley suggests?  It says they are deformed
once they are used...VW says the bolts are 5 bucks a piece!  Anyways, since
I got a new clutch kit I was thinking of just putting all the new stuff onto
the 2.0l.  Would I be wasting time to even take anything off of the old
motor??
