Caution: The vehicle must not be on wheels. Once the bolt is loosened, the wheel bearing may be damaged by the weight of the vehicle. If it became necessary to roll the car with the drive shaft removed, then first install the outer hinge into the hub and tighten the hub bolt to a torque of 120 Nm.
Remove the bottom soundproof casing. Remove wheel. Remove nuts -arrows-.
Detach wishbone from ball joint and respectively from steering knuckle. Pull the outer CV joint out of the wheel hub. Secure the drive shaft against falling. Assemble drive shaft puller -T10382-. To remove the joint shaft -1-, assemble the puller so that the flat side of the arrow-plate -T10382/1- points towards the screws -T10382/2-. Connect the assembled drive shaft puller -T10382- and the inertia puller -VW 771- to each other.
Instruction: In order to remove the drive shaft from the gearbox using puller -T10382-, the shock absorber strut with all attached parts must be pulled back.
Move shock absorber strut with all attachments back and secure with strap -T10038-, eg to lift arm. The strut must be retracted so that the puller -T10382- can be positioned parallel to the drive shaft.
Fit puller -T10382- and drive out drive shaft. Remove drive shaft.
Installation
Remove any paint residue and/or corrosion from the threads/splines of the outer CV joint. Install a new retaining ring in the groove of the gearbox side shaft. Apply multipurpose grease -G 060 735 A2- to splines of drive shaft. Insert the end of the semi-axial shaft of the gearbox into the splined hole of the joint. Insert the drive shaft into the joint as far as it will go. After that «jerk «completely push the hinge onto the semi-axial shaft of the gearbox.
Instructions: It is strictly forbidden to use a hammer or other percussion instruments!
Check that the hinge retaining ring is seated securely by pulling it out of the gearbox.
Caution: When performing this check, pull on the pivot only, not on the drive shaft.
Remove belt -T10038-. As far as possible, insert the splined end of the outer CV joint into the splined hole in the wheel hub. Screw ball joint to triangular link -arrows-.
