Got a new flywheel and clutch for the car. When I drop the box out to do it do I need to remove the transfer box.
If I do can it be done with out the special tool

Needs the tool to undo the bolt in the middle of the drive flange (drivers side)... essentially a really long allen key... this needs to be removed to allow you to remove the bevel box...
Looks like this...

Or make your own....6mm i think it is...
I would not have thought you would need to split it as it all slides past the engine...just, but it will be heavy

It does slide to a point but its an ****... it catches the end of the block so you have to jostle it past... not that easy to do when the thing weighs so much... Was bad enough with 2 people and a lift ramp...
As Dave says, its 6mm and you could make one from a long 6mm or some steel tube/bar with a bit of 6mm allen key welded on the end maybe... either way its easier to get the box off and back on again with the bevel box removed...

I got my box out leaving the transfer box in place. Was a PITA to refit the box again, but can be done with a lot of swearing. Makes taking the gearbox out easier.
The tool can be had at the dealers for around £9. Its VAG tool 1669.
Good luck.

The long hex key can be found on fleabay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201333939827?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I've just bought one for £6 delivered, which isn't too bad.
