Loosen the hub bolt.
Caution: The vehicle must not stand on its wheels. After loosening the bolt, the hub bearing may be damaged by the weight of the vehicle. If it is necessary to roll the vehicle with the drive shaft removed, the outer joint must first be installed in the hub and the hub bolt tightened to 120 Nm.
Remove the lower noise-insulating casing. Remove the wheel. Unscrew the nuts "arrows".
Disconnect the wishbone from the ball joint and, accordingly, from the steering knuckle. Slide the outer CV joint out of the wheel hub. Secure the drive shaft from falling. Assemble the drive shaft puller "T10382". To remove the shaft with the joint "1", the puller should be assembled so that the flat side of the arrow-plate -T10382/1- faces the screws -T10382/2-. Connect the assembled drive shaft puller "T10382" and the inertial puller -VW 771- to each other.
Instructions: To remove the drive shaft from the gearbox using the "T10382" puller, it is necessary to move back the shock absorber strut with all the attachments.
Pull back the shock absorber strut with all the attachments, securing it with the "T10038" belt, for example, relative to the cantilever arm of the lift. The strut should be pulled back so far that the "T10382" puller can be installed parallel to the drive shaft.
Install the puller "T10382" and press out the drive shaft. Remove the drive shaft.
Installation
Remove any paint residue and/or corrosion from the outer CV joint threads/splines. Install a new retaining ring in the gearbox axle shaft groove. Apply universal grease -G 060 735 A2- to the splines of the axle shaft. Insert the end of the gearbox axle shaft into the splined hole of the joint. Insert the drive shaft into the joint until it stops. Then jerk the joint onto the gearbox axle shaft until it stops.
Instructions: It is strictly forbidden to use a hammer or other impact tools!
Check the reliability of the joint retaining ring by pulling it out of the gearbox.
Caution: When performing this check, pull only on the pivot element, not on the drive shaft.
Remove the belt-T10038-. Insert the splined end of the outer CV joint into the splined hole of the wheel hub as deeply as possible. Screw the ball joint to the triangular lever "arrows".
Instructions: Check the boot for damage or kinks.
Install the lower noise insulation casing. Tighten the hub bolt.
Instructions: The car should not be standing on its wheels, otherwise the wheel bearings will be damaged.
Install the wheel and tighten its mounting bolts.
