Sounds like u are talking about the starter ring gear.  The VW dudes have a 
small fitting that bolts on to the case and locks the ring gear.  There are a 
few u tube videos about that.    The centre bolt is the big issue as it is 
torque loaded real high. ...  like 125 NM from memory. So u got to be careful.  
 As that also is effectively the Thrust bearing ( the entire load is thru the 
crank)
End float also is specific.  
Hope that is some help.   
The reason I have responded is that many years ago I received an engine that 
had need “overhauled” by a aircraft engineering shop and that bolt was actually 
loose ....  not a good look at all
