It can be removed but I would put some good jack stands under the car and secure it well and work on removing the broken bolt with it on the car. What bolt did you break?

Her is a Brake upgrade on a MKII hatchback link with pics.

You can remove the half shaft (axle) without loosing transmission oil if you jack the car up on one side. I placed my jack about 4" behind the wheel with 2x4 wood on it to get a lot of height. I'm thinking 35-40 degrees?
