If you're gonna order anything else, add it to the order. If not, you can chase down your local Snap-On truck, or go to your nearest VW Bug place. Yes, the Bugs use the same M8 "triple square" bolts as we do (and the 911s do). They usually call it the "CV Joint Socket". Probably goes for about $20--it did about five years ago, when last I checked.

call back or add to your order and add the new locking (schnoor?) washers and cv gaskets. order a few extras. you need them (be safe) and save some shipping costs and time.

I got mine from Auto Zone. OEM Brand, lifetime warranty, and it comes in a set of 4, for $17.99.
I agree with Dave, if your already gonna order something, then get one, but you should be able to find one locally without much problem
