Yoursme Torque Multiplier Leverage Tool for Classic VW Beetle — 36mm Axle Nut & Flywheel, Heat-Treated Steel Black Oxide

Yoursme Torque Leverage Tool is a manual torque multiplier engineered to remove and install 36mm axle nuts and flywheel gland nuts on classic Volkswagen Beetles and related models.

This precision-made leverage tool converts a common ratchet into a high-torque driver so you can tackle stubborn axle nuts and flywheel gland nuts on vintage VW air-cooled cars without an assistant or expensive shop equipment. Built from heat-treated steel and finished with black oxide, the tool comes with interchangeable drive gears and a bolt-on plate to match 6V and 12V flywheels and fit 4x130mm and 5x205mm brake drums.

How does this tool make removing a stuck axle nut easier?

The torque multiplier amplifies the input force from your ratchet into greater output torque at the nut, letting you loosen or tighten fasteners that would otherwise need extreme effort or an extra person. Its compact design fits wheel drums and flywheels on many classic VW models so you can work in tight spaces.

• Uses mechanical gear reduction to increase torque without power tools
• Bolt-on plate secures to brake drums/rotors for stable leverage
• Works with standard ratchets—no specialty drives required

Which Volkswagen models and nuts is the Yoursme multiplier compatible with?

The tool is tailored for classic air-cooled VWs: Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Splitscreen buses, Thing, Trekker and Type 3 models produced within the specified years. Note: it fits 36mm axle nuts and common 6V/12V flywheel gland nuts but not late-model Type 2 buses that use 46mm axle nuts.

• Fits Beetles and Bugs 1947–1979 and Splitscreen 1950–1967
• Compatible with Karmann Ghia 1955–1974 and Type 3 1962–1973
• Not suitable for 1964–1979 Type 2 buses with 46mm axle nuts

What components are included and how do I use them safely?

The kit includes a 13-tooth narrow drive gear for 6V flywheels, a 14-tooth wide drive gear for 12V flywheels, and a bolt-on plate for axle nut work. Install the correct gear for your flywheel, secure the plate to the drum or rotor as instructed, then attach your ratchet and apply steady, controlled force to avoid slips.

• 13-tooth gear for 6V flywheels; 14-tooth gear for 12V flywheels
• Bolt-on plate adapts the tool to axle nut removal and installation
• Use steady ratchet strokes and proper PPE to prevent injury

What materials and finish ensure long-term performance?

Yoursme manufactures the multiplier from heavy-duty, heat-treated steel to withstand repeated high-torque cycles. A black oxide surface treatment helps resist rust and corrosion, while precision machining guarantees the gears and plate fit accurately for dependable, repeatable service.

• Heat-treated steel construction for toughness and wear resistance
• Black oxide finish reduces corrosion during storage and use
• Precision-cut components for secure engagement and longevity

Who is this for: The Yoursme Torque Leverage Tool is aimed at classic Volkswagen owners, home mechanics, restoration shops, and anyone who maintains air-cooled VW axles or flywheels. If you work on Beetles, Karmann Ghias, Splitscreen buses (except late Type 2 axle variants), Thing, Trekker, or Type 3 vehicles and need a reliable, hand-operated way to remove or install 36mm axle nuts and gland nuts, this tool is built to simplify the job and reduce the need for extra hands or heavy machinery.
