Removing The Outer CV Joint
- Secure the driveshaft with protective covers in a vise clamp.
- Fold back boot.
- Align the puller (T10382) so that the flat side of the plate (T10382/1) faces the spindles (T10382/2).
- Attach the puller (T10382) to the slide hammer (VW 771).
- Remove the CV joint from the driveshaft using the puller (T10382) and slide hammer (VW 771).
1. Plate (T10382/1)
2. Spindles (T10382/2)
Installing the Outer CV Joint
Installed location: spring washer and thrust washer on outer joint
1 - Plate Spring
2 - Thrust Ring
- Install the new circlips.
- Slide new CV boot onto drive axle if necessary.
- Use a plastic hammer to install it on the shaft until the locking ring locks secure.
Removing the Inner CV Joint
- Secure the driveshaft with protective covers in a vise clamp.
- Fold back boot.
- Remove the CV joint from the driveshaft using a drift - A -.
Drive must be applied exactly on star of CV joint.
Driving Joint On
- Use a plastic hammer to install it on the shaft until the locking ring locks secure.
Tightening Hose Clamp On Outer Joint
- Attach CV joint boot clamp tool - V.A.G 1682 - as shown in illustration. When doing this, make sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in corners - arrows B - of clamp.
- Tension clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not tilt clamp tool).
• A stainless steel clamp must be used due to hardness of CV boot material (compared to rubber). This clamp can only be tensioned using CV joint boot clamp tool (V.A.G 1682).
• Tightening Specifications: 25 Nm.
• Use torque wrench - C - with adjustment range 5...50 Nm (e.g. torque wrench (V.A.G 1331) ).
• Be sure thread of spindle - A - of clamp tool moves freely. Grease with MOS 2 grease if necessary.
• If it does not move freely, e.g. due to dirt in thread, the required clamp tension will not be achieved at the specified torque.
Tensioning Clamp On Small Diameter
Removing The Cap From The CV Joint
1. Three arm extractor, for example Kukko 45-2
2. Thrust pad (VW 447 H)
Mounting The Cap Onto The CV Joint
1. Thrust Piece (T10243)
Mount the cap far enough onto the joint until the ridge - arrow A - fits into the groove - arrow B -.
