Yoursme Torque Multiplier Tool for VW Beetle 36mm Axle & Flywheel Nut Kit — 9x Drive, Hardened Steel

The Yoursme 000133 torque multiplier is a dedicated tool that simplifies removal and installation of 36mm axle nuts and flywheel gland nuts on classic Volkswagen models.

If you maintain or restore air-cooled Volkswagens from the 1940s through the 1970s, the right specialty tools save time and reduce strain. This compact torque multiplier kit is engineered to fit specific vintage VW applications—Beetle, Splitscreen, Karmann Ghia, Thing, Type 3, Baja/buggy and Trekker models that use 36mm axle nuts and standard flywheel gland nuts. It multiplies the force you apply so a hand torque wrench or ratchet can break loose stubborn fasteners without improvised extensions or unsafe leverage tricks.

What vehicles and parts does this tool fit?

This kit is built for air-cooled VW cars that use a 36mm axle nut or similar flywheel gland nuts. It covers Beetles (1950–1979), Splitscreen buses (1950–1967), Karmann Ghias (1955–1974), Bajas/Buggies (1947–1979), Trekker (1969–1976), Type 3 (1962–1973), and Things (1969–1976). Important: it is NOT compatible with later Type 2 buses that use the larger 46mm nut.

• 36mm axle nut compatibility—double-check your model before buying
• Fits both 6V and 12V flywheel gland nuts with included gears
• Covers common brake drum bolt patterns 4x130mm and 5x205mm

How does the torque multiplier make removal easier?

The multiplier increases the effective torque from your ratchet or wrench by roughly nine times, so you need far less physical force to loosen or tighten nuts. Use the multiplier with a torque wrench by dividing the required torque by nine to set the correct input value. This reduces risk of rounding nuts and avoids improvised extensions that can bend studs or damage threads.

• Amplifies hand torque so one person can handle stubborn fasteners
• Reduces risk of stripped nuts and damaged studs
• Simple torque math: set wrench to required torque ÷ 9

What tools and parts are included in the kit?

The Yoursme 000133 kit arrives with the specialized components needed for flywheel and axle nut jobs—no separate purchases required. Included items address both 6V and 12V flywheel drives and provide the socket and mounting hardware to work on 36mm axle nuts and common drum patterns.

• 13-tooth narrow drive gear for 6V flywheels
• 14-tooth wide drive gear for 12V flywheels
• 36mm socket, drum plate, washer, and cotter pin

Is the tool built to last and safe for repeated use?

Yes—components are made from hardened steel with a protective black coating to resist corrosion and stand up to repeated shop use. The construction is intended for heavy-duty tasks, offering impact resistance and long service life when used within recommended torque ranges. Nonetheless, always follow safe workshop practices and verify model fit before applying force.

• Hardened steel construction for durability
• Black corrosion-resistant finish for long life
• Designed for heavy-duty automotive service when used properly

Who is this for: The Yoursme 000133 torque multiplier is aimed at DIY mechanics, vintage VW restorers, and professional shops that work on air-cooled Volkswagen vehicles using 36mm axle nuts and conventional flywheel gland nuts. If you service Beetles, Splitscreen Type 2s from early years, Karmann Ghias, Vans converted to buggies, Type 3s or Things within the stated years, this kit consolidates the parts needed for safe, efficient axle and flywheel work. Avoid purchasing if your vehicle uses the 46mm axle nut common on later Type 2 buses.
