[Vwdiesel] '81 diesel Dasher questions

[The President]

The triple square is basically a 12pointed Torx bit (same as the 12mm head 
bolt bit [although a 6 point Torx bit will fit the head bolt.])

The 'in situ' reference is basically a method of 'doing it' with the front 
strut still in the car. The tool looks something like a big bolt and 
washers. There is also a sprocket puller type tool to be used as well. Rapid 
parts used to sell them but I can't find a reference. Try this site for a 
picture
