Removing l  Gearbox secured to engine and gearbox support → Chapter. –  Remove flange shaft (left-side) → multitronic 0AW, front-wheel drive; Rep. gr.39. –  Attach extractor -T40176- to dual-mass flywheel -A- using nut -B--arrow-.

–  Turn extractor -T40176- upwards.   Note Keep hold of the bottom of the dual-mass flywheel, as shown in the illustration, to prevent it from tilting over. –  Pull dual-mass flywheel off input shaft -arrow- keeping dual-mass flywheel straight.

Caution Take care not to damage flange for drive plate on dual-mass flywheel. t  Do not lay down the dual-mass flywheel so that it rests on the flange -arrow- for the drive plate. t  This could bend the flange -arrow- for the drive plate, which would cause problems with clutch operation. –  Put dual-mass flywheel down carefully, e.g. on work bench.

Installing Installation is carried out in reverse sequence; note the following: –  Thoroughly clean area of clutch housing leading to differential -arrow A-, and oil seal -arrow B-.   Note If oil seal between differential and gearbox housing -arrow B- is damaged, it must be renewed → Chapter. –  Pack space between sealing lip and dust lip half-full with sealing grease -G 052 128 A1-.

–  Clean input shaft -arrow-. –  Apply a thin coating of grease for clutch plate splines -G 000 100- to splines on input shaft.
