Google/Yahoo.... "Torque Tool Flywheel & Drum Plate Kit". Flywheel nut is held on with 238ft lbs and the axle nut is 253ft lbs. One man job with this tool. It also removes the rear axle nut. It's about $60 but well worth it. You can actually re-torque the nuts back on instead of guessing.

Buy the Bently manual. I has all the info you need for any thing. The biggest problem will be to get the Axle nut off and on. It has about 240 lbs of torque on it. There is a new tool on the market that is really neat, It's used for the Axle nut and the Gland nut that holds the fly wheel on. It cost's about $60 US but it's really worth it. How are you going to torque the nut back on? You have to take them back off again to redo the wheel bearings right? It bolts to the brake drum and has a couple of gears to reduce the torque needed. When you put the axle nut back on you just retorque it to 30 or 40 lbs. Most of the main online VW stores have them now.
27 mm. You may want to check around, because VW switched to a 24mm steering wheel nut size in 1973.
