16v Gti's don't have the rear brake bias valve, and I'm fairly certain the VR6 doesn't either, so it won't have one on the vr6 rear beam.

The entire rear beam and everything attached.

abs stuff if you got that, but i didnt bother with it.

get new handbrake cables from gsf.

dont go cutting anything if you can help it, unless your going to replace it. i cut the handbrake cables, as i bought new ones (recommended). cut abs if you dnt need it. you will see what i mean when you get there and you will see the cables and piping, etc that attaches the car to the beam.

the rear beam is held on to the brackets via rear beam bushes and a bolt. you want to keep the beam and bracket attached, and remove both as one piece. i think there is 3 bolts holding the each bracket to the car, one bracket each side. make sure you detach all the brake lines, cables, etc before undoing the bolt.
