Wheel Bearing: Service and Repair
Splines, Drive Axle/Wheel Hub
Splines, drive axle/wheel hub
Notes:
-
Drive axle/wheel hub splines can either be "adhered" using locking fluid or, for the newer version of wheel hubs, (Part No. 8N0 407 613 A or B),
greased.
-
i.e. the version of the wheel hub determines whether "adhered" or greased.
-
The older wheel hubs, Part No. 8N0 407 613 (wheel hub stamped with: 8N0 615), can be attached for drive axles that were "adhered", but must
continue to be "adhered" using locking fluid D 185 400 A2.
-
Newer wheel hubs, part No. 8N0 407 613 A or B (wheel hub stamped with 8N0 615A or B), must NEVER be "adhered. " Only use securing
grease G 052 142 A2.
-
A vehicle with "adhered" drive axle/wheel hub on one side and greased drive axle/wheel hub on the other is permitted since the "adhered" wheel
hub can be replaced with a greased one. However, a greased wheel hub must NEVER be replaced with a "adhered" one.
Tightening torques for the 12 - point nuts vary.
-
For "adhered" wheel hub: 265 Nm
-
For greased wheel hub: 190 Nm + 90°
