The drive flanges on all 5-speed manual (01A) B5's are held in with a snap-ring.
So to remove them, you need to lever against the flange with a sturdy pry bar, or better still, a crowbar. You brace the bar against the transmission casing, and hook the claw under the flange lip. Once the snap-ring clears the groove in the differential, it comes out easily.
The only B5 manual trans that has the flanges held in with a 6mm allen bolt are 6-speed 01E.
