Unbolt the driveshaft from the flange
Remove the plastic cover from the end of the flange, this reveals a circlip.
Remove the circlip and then remove the flange from the box.
Tap in the new seal and then put everything back together
The seals can be bought separately from VAG as a kit, it contains the seal, circlip and plastic cover , they cost about ?20.
You'd probably be best off getting new bolts for the driveshaft, these also come in kit and are about a ?10 I think.

This spring then makes for an entertaining afternoon trying to get the flange back on?.. (long bolt with length of bar to pull flange on but then leaves little room for fitting circlip)

I had loads of fun on with the ?box out of car on the bench, wouldn?t fancy it crawling around on the floor in a confined space, good luck.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
