Audi part # 893 012 223.  Screws into the hub to hold the brake disk
holes in line with the threaded holes in the hub.  The wheel is slid
over the thing which, despite its apparent flimsiness, is strong enough
to hold the wheel in place while the other bolts are inserted.  Then
you screw the thing out and insert the last bolt.

Vorsprung durch Technik.
