If you are having trouble removing the drive axles (very possible, as
clearances are tricky), just pop the ball joint, swing the entire
assembly away from the car to gain just enough clearance to pop the
outer CV from the hub. In other words, you do not have to do a front
end alignment after this job. :)

Check the 'gears' page on scirocco.org for this info (Click the Gears
