[Vwdiesel] Removing the Engine

[Stephen Kraus]

Got the engine out without removing transmission. I swung it down towards
the passenger side front, unbolted from transmission and removed. Putting it
back in should be just the reverse.

I noticed I popped out the CV knuckle on the transmission passenger side,
but it seems to pop back in with ease. Is that okay?
