Installation:

Dip shaft seal in final drive oil.

Drive shaft seal firmly home with special tool 33 3 460 in
conjunction with special tool 00 5 500.

Replace drive flange if the bearing surface is seriously scored.

Installation:

Before fitting the drive flange, the round wire circlip (1) must
be placed in the groove of the differential housing in such a
way that both ends of the round wire circlip are recessed.

This prevents lateral bending of the ring.

Press in drive flange by hand and turn slightly until wire snap
ring is heard to engage.

Replace stretched round wire snap rings.
