are most quite similar? what i plan to do is remove my wheel hub still attached to the driveshaft.

Thinking of just undoing driveshaft where it fixes to gearbox end, can i just pull them out after that and then they push back in?

Help zone?

However if you mean just undoing the inner cv clip and removeing the driveshaft from the cv then yer that would work and they will just pop back in
If you mean removeing the inner cv from the gearbox whilste its attached to the driveshaft, yes it will just pop out with some effort and it will just pop back in too

i may be wrong but most vws inner cvs have 6 allenkey bolts bolting them the the driveflange on the gearbox. so no they wont just pull out.

and make sure you put the 'washer' thingson with botg bolts, I left one end undone once and it brayed a hole in the box which proceeded to loose gears

do they just push back in and then do the bolts up, nothing weird to align

might take both sides off and clean them up and fit a new end to one

its just a case of lining the holes up and starting the bolts one at a time then drawing them in after there all started, dont tighten them up without stating them all or it becomes a pain
