CORRECTION -> RE: halfshaft removing tool

>12 mm - head bolts for most of the Audi/VW heads

for those who are keeping track, these tools are alternatively referred
to as "triple-square", "12-point" or "spline drive", depending on who is
selling it.  the shape of the "teeth" are same shape used by the cv
joints to drive the hub, by the crankshaft to drive the tranny, etc.
