undo the spline bolts on the gearbox end and the hub nut on the, errm hub end.A few taps and the shaft should pop out.Good luck mate.

If you mean the drive flanges, they are held in with a circlip, and sometimes a bolt as well.
I can't remember which for the mk3.

I think they are just a circlip tbh...I dont think theres any need to undo the hubnut either, i'm pretty sure i just gave it a good pull...
