| Assembling triple roller joint |
| – |
Push small hose clip for boot onto shaft. |
| – |
Push joint boot onto shaft. |
| Chamfer on triple roller star -arrow-
faces towards shaft and serves as an assembly aid. |
|
|
|
| – |
Fit triple roller star onto shaft and press on to 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. |
| – |
Place boot adapter onto joint. |
| – |
Slide joint body over rollers and hold. |
| – |
Press remaining amount of grease from repair kit into rear

Slide boot onto boot adapter and ensure that boot engages
correctly in groove -arrow- of
adapter. |
|
|
|
 Note
| Clamping lug of clamp -arrow A-
must be located between securing flanges of joint body
-arrows B-. This is the only way of
assuring that the multi-point socket head bolts can be guided
correctly when installing the drive shaft. |

|
|
| Tightening clamp on large diameter of inner joint |
| – |
Position clamp tensioner -V.A.G 1682- as shown in
illustration. 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
adjustment range 5 … 50 Nm, (e.g. torque wrench -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. |
