Disassembly instructions
1. Remove the shaft and clamp it in a vise. At the same time, protect the shaft with aluminum plates.
2. Mark the edge of the protective boot on the shaft so that the boot can be put in its original position during assembly.
3. Cut the clamps on both protective covers with side cutters and remove them. Slide the cover back.
4. Outer joint: Remove the joint with a strong blow of a light metal hammer from the shaft.
5. Internal hinge: Remove the circlip with suitable pliers, eg VW-161a or HAZET 2525K. Compress the hinge on the press, while bringing the support under the inner hub of the hinge.
Assembly instructions
6. When installing a protective boot on the hinge housing, the boot often shrinks. Therefore, fill the cover on a small diameter with air using a screwdriver.
7. Fill the joint with grease «AUDI G6.3». Enter half of the grease into the boot, the other half into the hinge. The total amount of grease is given in the Specifications.
8. For clamping clamps (alloy steel) device must be used (HAZET 1847), shown in the illustration. Otherwise, the required clamping force cannot be generated. Place the fixture so that the cutting elements of the fixture are located in the corners (IN). In this position the screw (A) tighten with a torque wrench to a torque of 25 Nm and thus tighten the clamp.
Warning: The thread of the tool must be easy to move. Otherwise, pre-lubricate it with MoS2 grease.
