Remember, that it is just stamped steel, riveted to a machined steel hub, with some spot elded nuts around the outside. The VW tool is shown in the Bentley in Chapeter 3, page 29, figure 17-1. Something that Bentley doesn't show, is how to get it off the dowls once the gland nut is out. There are 2 extra holes at the hub with the dowl pin holes. These are tapped 8-1.25mm just screw 2 bolts into those holes, and jack the plate off the crank. If you pry on it, you might bend it too. More torque converters have been destroyed by bent drive plates or wrong gland nuts than anything else.
