What Jon means is on some models the splines have loctite put on them from factory.
The outer cv joint splines that is.
I've seen this on a mk3 gti 16v, as well as a vr6.
I needed a hub puller to separate the shaft from the hub both times.

I see what you mean now. I needed a hub puller too,thought this was because the shafts are wedge shape, and they get quite literally wedge right in./  :laugh:
