Mount Triple Roller Star
Conical-Type Drive Axle
The chamfer on star faces toward shaft, this is used as an assembly aid.
- Connect triple roller star on shaft and press on up to stop.
- Make sure that pressure does not increase above 3.0 t!
- If necessary coat drive axle splines and triple roller star with lubricating paste G 052 142 A2.
- Insert securing ring, be sure to fit properly.
• As of 08.2004, a different grease will be used for triple roller joints. The grease must not be mixed with grease previously used. Therefore, triple roller joint must be cleaned before greasing when performing service work.
- Press 70 grams of joint grease from repair set, into triple roller joint.
- Slide joint piece over rollers and secure.
- Press 60 grams of joint grease, from repair set, into the reverse side of the triple roller joint.
- Install CV boot.
Mount Triple Roller Star
Cylindrical-Type Drive Axle
- Connect triple roller star on shaft and press on up to stop.
- Make sure that pressure does not increase above 3.0 t!
- If necessary coat drive axle splines and triple-roller star with lubricating paste (G 052 142 A2).
- Insert securing ring, be sure to fit properly.
- Press 70 grams of joint grease from repair set, into triple roller joint.
- Slide joint piece over rollers and secure.
- Press 60 grams of joint grease, from repair set, into the reverse side of the triple roller joint.
- Install CV boot.
- Install clamp.
• For a better alignment of the multipoint socket head bolts when mounting the axle shaft, it is necessary that the clamping ear of the clamp - arrow A - is placed between the fixing flanges from the joint - arrows B -.
Tightening the Tensioning Clamps on the Larger Diameter on the Inner 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 (e.g. (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.
Tightening Hose Clamp On Outer Joint
- Attach (V.A.G 1682) as shown in illustration. Be sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in corners - arrows B - of hose clamp.
- Tension clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not tilt clamp tool).
