Removing and installing a drive shaft with CV joint
Removing and installing a drive shaft with CV joint
Removing:
–  Unscrew screw for securing the drive shaft to the wheel hub:
t  Hexagon screw → Chapter
t  Twelve-sided bolt → Chapter
  Note
t  At the same time the vehicle must not be standing on its wheels, otherwise the wheel bearing will be damaged.
t  If the screw is loose, the wheel bearings must not be loaded.
t  If the wheel bearings are loaded through the vehicle's own weight, the wheel bearing will be initially damaged. This shortens the life of the wheel bearing.
t  When moving vehicles with drive shaft removed, it is advisable to install an external joint instead of the drive shaft and tighten with a torque of 120 Nm.
–  Remove wheel.
–  Remove noise insulation → Body Work → Rep. gr.50.
–  If present, remove the protection plate for the inner joint.
–  Unscrew the drive shaft from the flange/gearbox.
