Drive shaft replacement

[monty1]

I've got a driveshaft to change, does anyone know which tools I need ie Allen keys etc, I've got jacks axle stands etc and breaker bar, just wondering what I need for removing the drive shaft itself

It should just unbolt from the gearbox side and pull out of the hub at the other end

what car? the last vag one i swapped was on a 1.9tdi ASV and there was a bunch of Allen Key bolts securing it to the gear box and a massive nut at the hub end.

easy job and not many tools required (sockets, allen key sockets, lump hammer. to be fair its the same process for most cars. i drained the oil in fear from the previous time i did it and dumped litres of the smelly stuff all over my drive! not required on most VAGs i believe but i'd check before you start
