Pressing off outer constant velocity joint –  Clamp drive shaft in vice using vice clamps. –  Fold back bellows. –  Screw the M16 threaded section of special tool into the journal of the C.V. joint until the C.V. joint is pressed off the drive shaft. Driving joint on –  Drive onto shaft with plastic hammer until securing ring engages.

Tensioning hose clip on outer joint –  Position pliers -V.A.G 1682- as shown in diagram. Thereby ensure that the jaws of the pliers seat in the corners -arrows B- of the hose clip. –  Tension hose clamp by turning the spindle with a torque wrench (do not cant pliers).   Note t  Due to the hard material of the protective boot (compared to rubber) and, due to the use of a stainless steel clip, it is only possible to tension the clip using pliers -V.A.G 1682-. t  Specified torque: 25 Nm. t  Use torque wrench-C- with 5...50 Nm range (e.g. -V.A.G 1331-). t  Ensure that the spindle thread -A- is not tight. If necessary lubricate with grease -MOS 2-. t  If the thread is tight (e.g. due to dirt), the required clamping force for the boot clamp will not be attained although the correct torque is applied.

Driving off inner joint –  Splay circlip using long nose pliers.

–  Drive off inner joint with drift. 1 -  Copper drift or similar item The edge -arrow A- may not be damaged by dents or the like. The joint bellows seal may not be intact if this is the case. Driving on inner constant velocity joint –  Drive joint onto drive shaft with a firm blow from an lightweight metal hammer until the circlip springs into place.
