remove at least 2 diff bolts

remove the entire gear carrier....(the pinion is sticking out there)

Hopefully you have measured and recorded the position of those diff bearing retainers.

yep, there is an expensive special tool for that. Sometimes VW clubs or organizations have tools they can loan out. I've seen long heavy punches ground in a certain way catch the teeth of that nut and whim wham the shit out of it till it's loosened......but you didn't hear that from me.

I've rebuilt a lot of transmission not an autostick (conceptually nothing changes)
as you can see the special tool can be used only if the diff is removed, you can also use a key sector

which is an intermediate solution between a punch with a hammer and the special tool.
but to remove the pinion/shaft you have to disassemble all the transalex

in the Bug and Bus transalex you can remove the diff without problems
The autostick seems to be a little more complex
remove the input shaft could also help
to be honest I wouldn't worry too much about the tightening torque of those bolts
I would worry more about marking the position of the crown on the differential if you remove all the bolts

from 10:00 should be usefull for you ,it's a 002 but it's very similar

[rugblaster]

The special tool you need is not the VW381/14.....it is similar to the spanner pictured, but much larger and has a place for a 1/2 breaker bar.

It's a pain, and that thing is quite brittle, not something you would want to take off with a punch. And be weary, the stock one has a split, the replacements do not, so loctite. And the stock torque sequence is a bit scary, you're supposed to take it to a high value, then come back down, iirc.

I don't see how you could do this without the special tool, and it would be hard to make.

going off memory here....

doesn't the splined axle use a snap ring and just presses into the diff? as in, doesn't the splined portion pop out of the diff?
