Wd40 and also a special tool bit that sits in the cut out behind the hub where the shock slots into.
Insert the bit and turn 90 degrees then the hub/shock should pull out nice and easy.

get some passat alloy hubs for the new shocks. but wd40 and using something in the slot to pry it open should work to get it out

Just be careful with hammers, chisels, crowbars, etc, as it is possible to break the casting if you give it too much
Sorry chaps, much as our 2k looks nice, I prefer my Mk2.
