  Note
Allocate shims according to → Electronic parts catalogue “ETKA”.
–  Remove input shaft and press outer race of tapered roller bearing out of gearbox housing using thrust plate -VW 447 i-.
–  Insert shims of determined thickness, thickest shim first.
If the size of shim required is larger than those listed in the table, insert two shims totalling the correct figure.
–  Press outer race of tapered roller bearing together with the shim (1.175 mm in example) into gearbox housing using thrust pad -VW 510-.
–  Set gearbox housing in place and tighten hexagon head bolts to 25 Nm and then turn 90° further.
