> brett, is there a special tool or just use a socket? i tried a strap wrench but the one i have didnt work. i could get a smaller one but i wasnt sure of VW had a special tool for this or not.

i used to use the allen head to drain the housing first, then i used a socket. if you dont use a boxed end it will round the plastic off, and possibly break it.
