  That last post for that tool is a GOOD price and universal too, not just 
VW.  :-)  I'm lucky that I can borrow one whenever I need it, along with a
shim set, pliers, etc.  :-)  Tempting to buy one of those though.  
  I have one I made that's a piece of pipe, a couple of pieces of ~3/16 
rod, another cross rod drilled through the pipe and a reamed out washer 
welded to the two rods as well.  Only problem is it takes an NA intake 
manifold to use it.
