By hand carefully insert transmission drive shaft into splines of clutch disc and gear cluster.

 

 

Object Number: 2375427  Size: DEFAULT

 

 

Screw fillister head screw into transmission drive shaft and, using KM - 564 (2), drive the shaft up to stop in gear cluster.

On 4-speed manual transmission use three spacer sleeves (1).

 

Secure drive shaft with new retaining ring.

Install the screw cap in bearing cover oil-tight with Sealing Compound 15 03 166 (90 094 714) or PVC tape 4-speed: 50 Nm/37 lbf. ft., 5-speed up to Model Year 88 ½: 30 Nm/22 lbf. ft.

After the cap has been tightened, the distance between the front of the cover and the surface of the end shield must not exceed 4 mm/0.16 In. This ensures a definite sealing screw depth.

For 5-speed as of Model Year '88 ½: tighten end shield cover to end shield - M 7 x 1: 15 Nm/11 lbf. ft., M 8 x 1.25: 20 Nm/15 lbf. ft.

Using KM-460-2-A (left side, modified tool) and KM-460-1 (right side), drive both axle shafts out of transmission housing.

Important:

The chamfered side of the tool must always face the transmission.

 

Note: Fluid runs out.

 

Immediately suspend axle shaft, do not allow to sag.

 

 

Object Number: 2374620  Size: DEFAULT

 

 

Note:

If the axle shaft catches in exceptional cases while being removed and cannot be driven out of the transmission housing, place suitable drift between the axle shaft end and the bevel gear shaft and drive out axle shaft. To do this, remove cover for differential (fluid runs out).

 

Using KM - 557 (was Kukko Extractor 21/6 in conjunction with Kukko Support 22-2), pull each seal ring from the transmission housing or bearing ring.

 

Using KM - 446 drive each seal ring flush into transmission housing or bearing ring.

 

 

Object Number: 2374329  Size: DEFAULT

Do not overstress retaining ring.

When the retaining ring snaps into place, check that it is seated properly by pulling on the outer diameter of the joint.

Important:

Seating of the axle shaft cannot be checked by pulling on the shaft.
