Thankful to have found this older thread. Just pulled the CV Axles to rebuild them off of my Bumblebee. A ratchet strap on the opposing trailing arm with tension and wiggling in the holes with a drift did the trick. Good thing I pulled these too. One was missing a gasket on the trans side and the bolts were finger tight at best on a few on the stub axle.

There is a you tube video that an older VW mechanic made on how to remove everything and replace the bearing. Porsche 914 how to replace the rear axle bearing part 1 & 2. He made a home made slide hammer. Ian Karr's video, you remove the 30mm nut and put it on backwards flush with the axle and smack it with a BFH to knock the axle out. Looks like a lot of rust around the washer, soak that area with some PB blaster over night.
