If the drive shaft is to be replaced with a new one, the vibration damper must be moved from the old drive shaft to the new one and reinstalled in its original position.
To remove the vibration damper, the drive shaft is placed under the press, the linear bushing is well placed from below, and the drive shaft is pressed through the vibration damper.
The vibration damper is pressed onto the new drive shaft, the latter being pushed on at the other end. In this case, one should act very carefully, since a certain size must be maintained between the end surface of the vibration damper and the end face of the constant velocity joint. This size is the same for all models described in this book and should be 541±1 mm.
Therefore, in the course of work it is necessary to make measurements to ensure the size (A). Only the vibration damper installed in this way functions correctly, i.e. the vibration damper of the drive shaft. Best first «short» Press in the vibration damper, and then continue to press in.
After installing the vibration damper, the internal constant velocity joint is pressed onto the shaft again and fixed, and, accordingly. lubricated. Rubber cuffs are again put on the fastening strip.
For attaching cuff strips in the company's workshops «Volkswagen» special clamping forceps are used. If there are no such forceps, then it is necessary to act in a similar way. The forceps-type tool grabs both ends of the strip in place (IN). By tightening the clamping device (A) using a torque wrench, the strip is tightened until the drive shaft has been tightened to a tightening torque of 25 Nm. To remove the vibration damper.
