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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat vehicles and parts does this tool fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36mm axle nut compatibility—double-check your model before buying\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits both 6V and 12V flywheel gland nuts with included gears\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCovers common brake drum bolt patterns 4x130mm and 5x205mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the torque multiplier make removal easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAmplifies hand torque so one person can handle stubborn fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces risk of stripped nuts and damaged studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple torque math: set wrench to required torque ÷ 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat tools and parts are included in the kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yoursme 000133 kit arrives with the specialized components needed for flywheel and axle nut jobs—no separate purchases required.

The construction is intended for heavy-duty tasks, offering impact resistance and long service life when used within recommended torque ranges.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this fit my 1967 Volkswagen Beetle axle nut?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, it fits 1967 Beetles that use a 36mm axle nut.
