Dont know what happened to these two pictures.They were fine when I sent
them to the list.They looked fine for a couple of hours,too, while on the
list. I replaced the first one and it was once again ok. Now, it too is
gone strange.I am trying to find out what has happened.

Till then,the first picture shows the tool and a discription.Price is
$6.95. Cip1 says it is for inspection and servicing of brakes.46mm. Shows
an additional 36mm tool for other VW cars.

The second picture has a more important message. It says to only loosen or
tighten the nut with the wheel on the ground.This warning is repeated in
thelast photograph.I once raised the Vanagon and removed the wheel.I was
all ready to strike the wacker,but at the last minute ,I remembered this
warning.Had to reisnstall the wheel and let the vehicle down off the jack
stands.PITA,but got to do it.
