Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Yeah it's pricey but it'll last another 20yrs.

@NAANI?4Motion,
I'm trying to replace the rear flex disc.
I've removed the three 12 point 10mm bolts & undone the three 17mm nuts.
But when I try to unscrew the bolts there doesn't seem enough space between the Haledx to get them out fully. Any tips?
In your photos, these bolts are shorter and don't seem to have nuts (like the front flex disc I did a while back)
I found in one of your above diagrams:
12-point flange bolt #22, 60 Nm
Modification: From 09.02 onwards. new securing bolts with balancing nuts and washers were introduced for some propshafts
Two of the new securing bolts might be installed with a balancing nut and washer
If securing bolts are unscrewed, balancing washer and balancing nut are not allowed to be reinstalled
I just noticed in your photos, will the rear flex disc come out without taking the prop shaft apart like you did?

Installed the Gen 2 rear giubo on 2003 V6 Bora as first done by @NAANI?4Motion.
It is 170g heavier than the Gen 1.
For leverage, I used a cam shaft tool.
A long 10mm spanner with a neck is very handy for the triple square bolts.
I needed to indent the heat shield a little just to slide it in place (just used the flex disc itself to push up).
No vibration when tested at 100 km/h.
Definitely doable, but very fiddly. The long bolts are a nuisance to deal with because they can only slide out so far before they hit the Haldex controller.

I think my whole job would have been easier if I had loosened the dog bone.2004 VW Bora 4motion | 3.2 Swapped - R32 Trimmings | BBS CH | Forever fixing this bitch
