GET BOLTS FROM : Local vw dealer-expensive
                 or a list vendor (Depot,etc.)
GET THE SPLINE TOOL: from Snap-on for $20
                 or a list vendor for MUCH less.
My new cv's came with the splined bolts. Internal
socket hex caps are too easy to round out. Do NOT be
tempted to use a Torx bit on the splines bolts. A vw
mechanic suggested tapping the bit into place to seat
it firmly in the socket. BOL  george
