t  Supplementary set -V.A.G 1459 B/2- t  Thrust piece -E-43- Vehicles with four wheel drive –  First remove drive shaft. Removing and installing drive shafts → Chapter. Continuation for all vehicles –  Remove wheel and raise vehicle. Vehicles with front wheel drive –  Remove bolt securing wheel bearing. Continuation for all vehicles –  Remove ABS speed sensor from wheel bearing housing.

–  Remove clip -1-. –  Press brake lever -2- in direction of arrow and unhook brake cable -3-. –  Remove brake carrier and brake caliper and tie to body with wire.

–  Unclip brake line from wishbone -arrows-. –  Remove brake disc. –  Unbolt cover plate and lay to side.   Note When removing the cover plate, make sure that the brake line is not bent! –  Connect cover plate to wishbone   Note Position engine and gearbox jack -V.A.G 1383/A- under vehicle (risk of parts falling down as wheel hub and bearing are pulled out). Pulling out wheel hub

–  Assemble bell-1-, hollow plunger cylinder-2- with pull rod and special nut-4-. 1 -  Bell -E-41-1- (T) 2 -  Hollow plunger cylinder -HKZ-15- 3 -  High pressure hose with quick-action coupling 4 -  Special nut -E-8-214- and pull rod –  Build-up pressure with foot pump. Pulling out wheel bearing –  Remove circlip.

–  Fit trestle-1-, hollow plunger cylinder-2- with pull rod and special nut-3- and thrust piece-4- with shoulder towards bearing. –  Operate pump and pull out the wheel bearing. 1 -  Trestle -E-71/1-72/3- 2 -  Hollow plunger cylinder -HKZ-15- 3 -  Special nut -E-8-214- and pull rod 4 -  Thrust piece -E-13-1- 5 -  High pressure hose with quick-action coupling Pulling inner bearing race off hub

Use only puller with clamp clip, e.g. -A--Kukko 204-2- (commercially available). Pressing in wheel bearing –  Grease drilling surfaces in wheel bearing housing completely with Molykote grease -N 052 723 00-. Use grease sachet from repair set.

–  Position wheel bearing -1-, thrust piece-2- (place collar in bearing) andhollow plunger cylinder-3- with pull rod on wheel bearing housing. –  Fit thrust piece-4- with chamfer towards wheel bearing housing and special nut-5- from interior. –  Press wheel bearing in by operating the pump. –  Insert circlip with long nose pliers. 1 -  Wheel bearing 2 -  Thrust piece -VAS 6016- 3 -  Hollow plunger cylinder -HKZ-15- 4 -  Thrust piece -E-43- 5 -  Special nut -E-8-214- and pull rod 6 -  High pressure hose with quick-action coupling Press in wheel hub

–  Position wheel hub -1- and hollow plunger cylinder-2- with pull rod on wheel bearing. –  Assemble special nut-4- and thrust piece-3- from interior. –  Press in hub by operating the pump. 1 -  Hub 2 -  Hollow plunger cylinder -HKZ-15- 3 -  Thrust piece -E-4- 4 -  Special nut -E-8-214- and pull rod 5 -  High pressure hose with quick-action coupling Further assembly work is carried out in the reverse order.
