Get the right tool for the job with EMPI's 12-point hex socket designed specifically for VW CV joint bolts. This 8mm 12-point socket on a 3/8" drive fits the 12-point CV joint bolts found on 1969–1979 Beetles and 1968–1979 Buses, making CV joint service fast and frustration-free.

Standard 6-point sockets won't engage 12-point bolt heads properly — this dedicated tool ensures full contact and prevents rounding off those hard-to-replace fasteners. If you work on VW IRS rear ends regularly, this is a must-have in your toolbox.
