t  Pulling device -T10382- Removing outer constant velocity joint –  Clamp drive shaft in vice using protective jaw covers. –  Fold back boot. –  Set puller -T10382- up so that smooth side of puller plate -T10382/1- points to spindles -T10382/2-. –  Assemble puller -T10382- complete with multi-purpose tool -VW 771-.

–  Pull constant velocity joint from drive shaft with puller -T10382- and multi-purpose tool -VW 771-. 1 -  Puller plate -T10382/1- 2 -  Spindles -T10382/2- Driving on outer constant velocity joint –  Install new retaining ring. –  If necessary, push new joint boot onto drive shaft. –  Knock onto shaft with plastic hammer until circlip engages. Dismantling triple roller joint –  Clamp drive shaft in vice using protective jaw covers. –  Open the inner joint clamps and push the joint dust guard backwards. –  Pull joint body off drive shaft.

–  Remove the securing ring. 1 -  Pliers (commercially available)  -  or -VW 161 A- –  Set drive shaft into press.

–  Press triple roller star off drive shaft. –  Pull boot off shaft. –  Clean shaft, joint body and groove for seal. Assembling triple roller joint –  Push small hose clip for boot onto shaft. –  Push joint boot onto shaft. –  Push joint body onto shaft. Fitting triple roller star Driveshaft with conical shape Chamfer on star faces towards shaft and is used as an assembly aid.

–  Fit triple roller spider on shaft and press on as far as stop. –  Ensure that pressure does not exceed 3.0 t. –  If necessary, coat splines of drive shafts and triple roller star with lubricating paste -G 052 142 A2-. –  Insert retaining ring, ensuring that it is seated correctly. –  Press half of total amount of grease from repair kit into triple roller joint. –  Slide joint body over rollers and hold. –  Press remaining amount of grease from repair kit into rear of triple roller joint. –  Install joint boot. Fitting triple roller star Drive shaft (cylindrical version)

–  Fit triple roller spider on shaft and press on as far as stop. –  Ensure that pressure does not exceed 3.0 t. –  If necessary, coat splines of drive shafts and triple roller star with lubricating paste -G 052 142 A2-. –  Insert retaining ring, ensuring that it is seated correctly. –  Press 70 grammes of drive shaft grease from repair set into triple roller joint. –  Slide joint body over rollers and hold. –  Press 60 grammes of drive shaft grease from repair kit into rear of triple roller joint. –  Install joint boot.

–  Install hose clip.   Note To make it easier to insert the multi-point socket-head bolts when installing the drive shaft, position ear -arrow A- of hose clip between mounting flanges -arrows B- of joint body.

Tightening clamp on large diameter of inner joint –  Position clamp tensioner -V.A.G 1682- as shown in illustration. Ensure that the edges of the tool fit into the corners -arrows B- of the clamp. –  Tighten clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not cant pliers).   Note t  Due to the hard material of the protective boot (compared to rubber) and the necessity of using a stainless steel clamp, it is only possible to tension the clamp with clamp tensioner -V.A.G 1682-. t  Tightening torque: 25 Nm. t  Use torque wrench -C- with adjustment range 5 … 50 Nm, (e.g. torque wrench -V.A.G 1331-). t  Make sure thread of spindle -A- on pliers moves freely. Lubricate with MoS2 grease if necessary. t  If the thread is tight (e.g. due to dirt), the required clamping force for the clamp will not be attained although the specified tightening torque is applied.

Tighten clamp on outer joint –  Apply clamp tensioner -V.A.G 1682- as illustrated. Ensure that the edges of the tool fit into the corners -arrows B- of the clamp. –  Tighten clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not cant pliers).
