9mm 12 point socket

[gatesj at mailblocks.com (John Gates)]

1. Does Sears have the sockets, others including myself have found 
standard 12 point 9mm sockets at Sears with no problem.

2. Zelenda might have the clutch alignment tool:  
http://www.zelenda.com/  You'll most likely have to give them a call, 
their catalog sucks but they seem to have everything under the sun.

3. I would recommend new bolts, they are very low torque and I assume 
are therefore one use, there has to be something special about the 
threads so they don't back out.  Try germanautoparts.com, they had a 
kit when I did my VR6, I don't see why they wouldn't have them for you.

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??
