they not like the mrk 5 were you can just take half shft out and they they their you have to take back pannel of the rear of the axle remove the pin that to gain access to the c clips then you will then be removing the planets gears as these are held together by the pin if you not expeienced then get some one who nows how to do them for you

Its easy , if you have a Haynes manual to follow , you will easily do it , and feel chuffed when you have finished , give it a go .
