Driveshaft with CV Joint VL100
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Thrust Plate (VW 401)
• Thrust Plate (VW 402)
• Punch (VW 408 A)
• Punch (VW 411)
• Sleeve (VW 416 B)
• Thrust pad (VW 447 H)
• Circlip pliers (VW 161 A)
• Torque wrench (V.A.G 1331)
• Torque wrench (V.A.G 1332)
• CV joint boot clamp tool (V.A.G 1682)
• Assembly tool (T10065)
• Slide hammer - complete set (VW 771)
• Puller (T10382)
Perform The Following:
Removing The Outer CV Joint
- Secure the driveshaft with protective covers in a vise clamp.
- Fold back boot.
- Align the puller (T10382) so that the flat side of the plate (T10382/1) faces the spindles (T10382/2).
- Attach the puller (T10382) to the slide hammer (VW 771).
- Remove the CV joint from the driveshaft using the puller (T10382) and slide hammer (VW 771).
1. Plate (T10382/1)
2. Spindles (T10382/2)
Installing the Outer CV Joint
Installed Location Of Spring Washer And Thrust Washer On Outer Joint
1 - Plate Spring
2 - Thrust Ring
- Install the new circlips.
- Slide new CV boot onto drive axle if necessary.
- Use a plastic hammer to install it on the shaft until the locking ring locks secure.
Removing the Inner CV Joint
Assembling
Installed Location Of Spring Washer On Inner Joint
1 - Plate Spring
Pressing on Inner CV Joint
• Chamfer on inner diameter of ball hub (splines) must face the contact shoulder on the drive axle.
Tightening Hose Clamp On Outer Joint
- Attach CV joint boot clamp tool (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 CV joint boot clamp tool (V.A.G 1682).
• Tightening Specifications: 25 Nm.
• Use torque wrench - C - with adjustment range 5 to 50 Nm (for example, torque wrench (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.
