Puller - Driveshaft - Removing Plate -T10382/1- faces the Puller -
Driveshaft - Spindles -T10382/2-.
- Attach the Puller - Driveshaft -T10382- to the Slide Hammer Set -VW771-.
- Remove the CV joint from the drive axle using the Puller - Driveshaft
-T10382- and Slide Hammer Set -VW771-.
- Puller - Driveshaft - Removing Plate -T10382/1-
- Puller - Driveshaft - Spindles -T10382/2-
Installing the Outer CV Joint
- Install the new circlips.
- Slide the new CV boot onto the drive axle if necessary.
- Use a plastic hammer to install it on the shaft until the locking ring
locks secure.
Drive Off Cover for Inner Joint
- Remove the circlip.
- Remove both clamps, and push the CV boot toward outer joint.
- Drive out CV joint boot with a drift.
Inner CV Joint, Removing
Assembling
Pressing On the Inner CV Joint
- Press on joint until stop.
- Install the circlip.
- Coat the cover sealing surface with -D 454 300 A2-.
- Apply unbroken sealant bead with 2 to 3 mm diameter in area of inner
holes -arrow- to clean cover surface.
- Align new cover with bolts -arrows- to bolt
holes.
It Must be Aligned Exactly Because it Cannot be Aligned after Driving On.
- Drive cover on with a plastic hammer.
- Wipe away any sealant leaking out.
Tightening Clamp On Outer Joint
- Attach the Clamping Pliers -VAG1682- as illustrated. When doing this,
make sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in corners
-arrows B- of clamp.
- Tension clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not tilt clamp
tool).
Note
- The hard material of the CV boot (compared to rubber) makes it necessary
to use a stainless steel hose clamp. It is only possible to tighten the hose
clamp with Clamping Pliers -VAG1682A-.
- Tightening specification: 25 Nm.
- Use torque wrench -C- with adjustment range
5...50 Nm (for example Torque Wrench 1331 5-50Nm -VAG1331-).
- Make sure the threads on the spindle -A- on
the pliers move easily. Lubricate with MOS 2 grease, if necessary.
- If it does not move freely, for example due to dirt in thread, the
required clamp tension will not be achieved at the specified torque.
Tensioning Clamp on Small Diameter
Outer CV Joint, Checking
It is necessary to disassemble the joint whenever replacing the grease or if
the ball surfaces show wear or damage.
Removing
- Mark position of ball hub to ball cage and to housing before
disassembling, using an electric engraver or grindstone.
- Swivel the ball hub and ball bearing cage.
- Remove the balls one after the other.
- Turn cage, until two rectangular windows -arrow-
contact joint body.
- Lift out cage with hub.
- Swing segment of hub into rectangular window of cage.
- Fold hub out from cage.
6 balls for each joint belong to a tolerance group. Check stub axle, hub,
cage and balls for small depressions (pitting build-up) and chafing. Excessive
circumferential backlash in joint makes itself noticed via tip-in shock, in such
cases joint should be replaced. Flattening and running marks of balls are no
reason to replace joint.
Installing
- Press in half of the total grease amount (40 grams) into joint body.
- Insert cage with hub into joint body.
- Press in opposing balls in sequence, during this, previous position of
ball hub to ball cage and to joint body must be established again.
- Install new circlip into the hub.
- Distribute remaining grease in cover.
Inner CV Joint, Checking
Removing
It is necessary to disassemble the joint whenever replacing the grease or if
the ball surfaces show wear or damage.
- Swivel the ball hub and ball bearing cage.
- Remove the joint in the direction of the -arrow-.
- Remove the balls from the cage.
Note
Ball hub and joint piece are paired. Do not interchange.
- Flip out ball hub from ball cage via running path of ball
-arrows-.
- Check joint piece, ball hub, ball cage and balls for small broken off
depressions (pitting build-up) and chafing.
Excessive circumferential backlash in joint makes itself noticed via tip-in
shock. Joint must be replaced in such cases. Flattening and running marks of
balls are no reason to replace joint.
Installing
- Insert ball hub into ball cage via two chamfers. The installation
position is at random. Press balls into cage.
Ball hub has 2 different distances between ball tracks, a larger and a
smaller.
- Insert hub with cage and balls upright into joint piece, a smaller space
-b- must face toward open side of joint piece
when doing this.
- Also note chamfer on inner diameter of ball hub, it must be visible
after swiveling in.
- Swing in ball hub; to do so, swing out hub far enough out of cage
-arrows- (as depicted in illustration).
- Swing in hub with balls by pressing forcefully onto cage
-arrow-.
CV Joint, Checking for Function
CV joint is properly assembled, if ball hub can be slid back and forth by
hand over whole compensation length.
