Assembling

Pressing On Inner CV Joint





- Press on joint until stop.

- Coat 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.

Tightening Hose Clamp on Outer Joint





- Attach (V.A.G 1682) as shown in illustration. 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).

• The hard material of the joint boot (compared to rubber) makes it necessary to use a stainless steel hose clamp. It is only possible to tighten the hose clamp with (V.A.G 1682).

• Tightening specifications: 25 Nm.

• Use torque wrench - C - with adjustment range 5 to 50 Nm (for example, (V.A.G 1331) ).

• Be sure thread of spindle - A - of clamp tool moves freely. Grease with MOS 2 grease if necessary.

• If the thread is tight e.g. dirty, the required tensioning force for the hose clamp will not be achieved in spite of correct torque specification settings.
