Fig. 1 Removing drive pinion nut:





^ Thread in two hex head bolts M8 x 30 -A-.
B - 36 mm long socket
When nut is removed, final drive must be supported (e.g. using VAG 1359/2 universal mount together with VAG 1383A transmission hoist).

Fig. 2 Pull off driveshaft flange from drive pinion:





^ Thread two hex head bolts M8 x 30 -A- into flange.

Fig. 3 Pulling out seal for driveshaft flange:




Fig. 4 Pressing out drive pinion from small tapered roller bearing inner race:




Fig. 5 Pulling out tapered roller bearing outer race:





A - Support e.g. Kukko 22/2
B - 21/7 Kukko extractor 46- 58 mm

Fig. 6 Driving out double tapered roller bearing outer race:





^ Check adjustment shims for damage after removing.

Fig. 7 Pressing off large tapered roller bearing inner race from drive pinion:





A - 17/2 Kukko separating tool 22- 115 mm

Fig. 8 Pressing large tapered roller bearing inner race onto drive pinion:





^ Heat inner race to approximately 100°C, place on and then press on.

CAUTION: Wear protective gloves.

Fig. 9 Pressing In double tapered roller bearing outer race:





^ Before installing, install drive pinion shim S3 determined in earlier step.

Note: On 325314 pressure disc, marking "Oben" points toward nut on installation device

Fig.10 Pressing In tapered roller bearing outer race:





^ Install oiled outer race and using VW408A punch and 30-205 thrust pad.

Fig. 11 Pressing on tapered roller bearing Inner race:





^ Insert drive pinion with a new spacer sleeve.

WARNING: Wear protective gloves!

^ Heat up small tapered roller bearing inner race to approximately 100°C and insert on drive pinion.
^ Press drive pinion upward and insert bearing up to stop using 40-21.

Fig. 12 Replacing O-ring:





^ Insert O-ring with gear oil

Fig. 13 Driving In seal for driveshaft flange:





^ Lightly oil outer circumference of seal.
^ Lubricate area between sealing lip and dust lip with a thin layer of multi-purpose grease.
^ Drive seal in to stop using 3026 pressure piece.

Fig. 14 Installing flange:





^ Drive flange for drive shaft far enough onto drive pinion so that securing nut can be installed.

Fig. 15 Tightening drive pinion nut and adjusting friction torque:





^ Thread in two hex head bolts M8 x 30 -A-.
B - 36 mm long socket
When nut is tightened, final drive must be supported (e.g. using VAG 1359/2 universal mount together with VAG 1383A transmission hoist).

Note: Increase torque slowly and measure friction torque multiple times. If the specified friction torque is surpassed, replace spacer sleeve and repeat adjustment! Any spacer sleeve that has been pressed together too far one time must be replaced.

Fig.16 Measuring friction torque:





With torque gauge, 0 to 600 Ncm, locally available
B - 36 mm socket insert

Note: If necessary use 314" to 112" reducing piece.





^ Adjust to following friction torque:

Fig. 17 Securing drive pinion nut:





^ After nut has been secured, radial run-out at driveshaft flange must be measured.
