Will this Flywheel/Flexplate Lock Tool fit my vehicle?

This tool is specifically designed to fit 1972-79 VW Bus and 1980-91 Vanagon models (excluding diesel engines). It's compatible with various model years and both manual and automatic transmissions within those ranges, making it a go-to choice for most air-cooled and water-cooled VW enthusiasts who need to lock the crankshaft during maintenance.

How do I use the Flywheel/Flexplate Lock Tool, and what comes with it?

The tool locks the crankshaft in place, making crankshaft pulley removal or flywheel work straightforward and much safer. When you order from GoWesty, you'll receive the lock tool along with clear installation instructions—there’s nothing extra you need to buy. Many customers find it easy to use, even if you’re doing the job for the first time.

Is this tool sturdy enough for repeated flywheel jobs, and how does it compare to alternatives?

While the tool may feel basic or a bit flimsy to some, it works exactly as described and reliably holds the crankshaft during critical service tasks. Its lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver, and it’s the same tool included in our trusted GoWesty Fuel Injection Kit. If used as intended, it’s effective for regular home garage use and a convenient alternative to larger, more expensive specialty tools.
