| Removing outer constant velocity
joint |
| – |
Clamp drive shaft in vice using protective jaw covers. |
| – |
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-. |

|
| Tighten clamp on outer joint |
| – |
Position clamp tensioner -V.A.G 1682- as shown in diagram.
Ensure jaws of tensioner lie in corners
-arrows B- of ear on O-type clip. |
| – |
Tighten clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do
not cant pliers).
|
Note
| 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-. |
| Use torque wrench -C - with
setting range of 5 ... 50 Nm (e.g. torque -V.A.G 1331-). |
| Make sure thread of spindle -A-
on pliers moves freely. Lubricate with MoS2 grease if necessary. |
| 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. |
