[urq] Wheel Bolt Alignment Tool

[Alan Pemberton]

Thanks Ingo,

I'll get one of these as well - even if I don't break the Audi version,  I'm guaranteed to lose it!

  Thanks, Alan

  But if I may I'd like to recommend a more robust alternative made by Brendan Rudack's Company, Apikol (just a satisfied customer) that makes a stainless steel version instead of the OEM plastic one.  
  It's $20, but well worth it.  They call it the Magic Stick:

    Purchased one today for around $10 and it makes a world of difference when replacing the wheels.
