Before starting work, measure dimension - a - from center of wheel to lower edge of wheelhousing using e.g. a tape measure.

The measurement must be performed in curb weight position (unloaded condition).
-

Note measured value. It will be required for tightening bolts/nuts.

Before corresponding suspension is lifted, the vehicle must be strapped to lift arms using tensioning straps T10038.

If a vehicle is not secured, there is danger that the vehicle could slip off the hoist!
-

Turn wheel hub far enough until one of the holes for wheel bolts is on top.

-

Attach Wheel hub support T10149 to wheel hub using wheel bolt.

-

Lift wheel bearing housing using engine/transmission jack V.A.G 1383 A until dimension - a - has been reached.

The respective bolts/nuts can only be tightened if dimension - a - measured before starting work between wheel hub center and lower edge of
wheelhousing is reached.

CAUTION: 
^

Do not lift or lower vehicle with the engine/transmission hoist below the vehicle.

^

Do not leave engine/transmission jack V.A.G 1383 A below the vehicle any longer than necessary.
