Remove the hinge and the hinge boot. Remove the retaining ring-1-.
Installing an outer CV joint with a diameter of 89 mm or 94 mm: Install the joint boot with a new clamp on the drive shaft. There should be no grease on the joint boot and drive shaft. Place the joint boot between -arrows- in the groove -2-.
- 1. Always replace the circlip (lock ring).
- 2. Centering groove, push the hinge boot so that it locks into the groove.
If present, install the disc spring correctly on the drive shaft.
Outer CV joint with a diameter of 89 mm: Insert 70 g of grease into the joint and evenly distribute it inside.
Outer CV joint with a diameter of 94 mm: Insert 80 g of grease into the joint and evenly distribute it inside.
All
Before installing the joint, the teeth -A- must be coated with a thin layer of joint lubricant. Insert the retaining ring into the groove of the shaft.
Push the constant velocity joint up to the retaining ring. Align the retaining ring with the hole facing upwards in the center - see. arrows-.
Screw the old bolt into the hinge as shown in the picture.
Press the joint onto the drive shaft with a plastic hammer until the locking ring snaps into place. Install the boot onto the steel cap. Release the air from the hinge protective boot. Crimp the clamp on the outer hinge. Clamp the clamp on the outer hinge. Install and crimp stainless steel clamps using crimping pliers -VAG 1682- as shown in the illustration.
When doing this, make sure that the jaws of the pliers fit snugly against the corners -arrows B- of the clamp. Compress the clamp by turning the lead screw with a torque wrench (Do not twist the pliers). Due to the hardness of the material (compared to rubber) boot and the need to use a stainless steel clamp for this reason, it can only be crimped with crimping pliers -VAG 1682-. Tightening torque: 20 N'M. Use a torque wrench with an adjustment range of 5...50 N'm (for example -VAG 1331-). Make sure that the thread of the pliers lead screw -A- moves smoothly. If necessary, apply MoS2 lubricant. If rotation is difficult, for example due to contamination of the thread, the required clamping force of the clamp is not achieved at the specified tightening torque. Install and crimp clamps with locking tabs using pliers -3340- as shown in the illustration. Fasten the clamp onto the first tongue by hand. Compress the clamp using pliers -3340-.
