Find a junkyard that has a Vanagon in it.  Bring a good size punch and
hammer, and you can drive them out of the axle flange. They shouldn't charge
more than 50 cents each.

Subject: Wheel Studs

Does anyone know where to find rear wheel studs for a 1985 vanagon?  I
called the local vw dealership and found them at 13.50 a pop.  The Auto
Zone doesn't have them and the Advance Auto has, what they believe to be but
aren't sure, a whole set for $33.00.  I say a whole set because they
say that it must be for the cost although no one seems t be able to tell by
the order form on the computer how many comein the set 5 or 20.  I just
need 6 really and if any one has a lower cost alternative or know what other
vehicles have compatability to the same studs it would be greatly
appreciated!  Thanks a lot
