The CV joints are held on via 12 point fasteners, they LOOK like Torx
but are not. I think the axles use 8 mm (and the head uses 12 mm). 

Use a Torx and go to jail.

(Historical note: Early A1s used T-45 for the CV, lets not bring them
up, eh?)

The other obvious thing is buy a box or two of surgical gloves and zip
lock baggies, w/ some cloth tape you can use to label wires and hoses,
etc. as you disconnect/remove things. Use a permanent marker but write
on the tape so it can come off after your reasembly and shakedown
cruise.

Label, label, label.
