Fig. 1 Removing nut for drive pinion
- Secure final drive on a repair stand.
- Screw in two hexagon nuts M8 x 30 -A-.

B - Socket, long A/F 36
- When nut is loosened the final drive must be supported (e.g. with universal transmission mounting 1359/2 in conjunction with engine/transmission jack VAG 1383 A).





Fig. 2 Pulling flange for drive shaft off drive pinion
- Screw two hex nuts M8 x 30 -A- into the flange.





Fig. 3 Pulling out seal for flange for drive shaft





Fig. 4 Pressing drive pinion out of inner race for small taper roller bearing





Fig. 5 Pulling out small taper roller bearing outer race
B - Support, e.g. Kukko 22/2
B - Internal puller 46 to 2.28 in, e.g. Kukko 21/7





Fig. 6 Driving out outer race for large taper roller bearing
- After removing check shims for damage.





Fig. 7 Pressing inner race for large taper roller bearing off drive pinion
A - Separating device 22 to 4.53 in, e.g. Kukko 17/2





Fig. 8 Pressing inner race for large taper roller bearing onto drive pinion
- Heat inner race to approx. 100° C, position and push to final position.

WARNING!
Wear protective gloves!






Fig. 9 Pulling in outer race for large taper roller bearing
- Lightly lubricate bearing seat in housing.
- Insert predetermined shim "S3" for drive pinion.

The inscription "top" on pressure plate 3253/4 faces nut of insertion device





Fig. 10 Pressing in small taper roller bearing outer race
- Lightly lubricate the bearing seat in the housing.
- The outer race must be attached with needle bearing drift VW 295 and thrust pad 30-205.






Fig. 11 Pressing on small taper roller bearing inner race
- Insert new drive pinion with a new spacer sleeve.

WARNING!
Wear protective gloves!


- Heat inner race for small taper roller bearing to approx. 100° C and install onto drive pinion.
- Press up drive pinion and insert bearing with sleeve 40-21 onto stop.





Fig. 12 Inserting O-ring
- Insert O-ring with gear oil.





Fig. 13 Tapping in seal for flange for drive shaft
- Lightly oil outer circumference of seal.
- Drive in seal onto stop with Mandrel 3026.
- Pack space between sealing and dust lips half-full with sealing grease G 052 128 A1.





Fig. 14 Installing flange
- Drive drive shaft flange onto drive pinion until securing nut can be mounted.





Fig. 15 Tighten nut for drive pinion and adjusting friction torque
- Screw in two hex nuts M8 x 30 -A-.

B - Socket, long A/F 36
- When the nut is tightened the final drive must be supported (e.g. with universal transmission mounting 1359/2 in conjunction with engine/transmission jack VAG 1383 A).

Note:
^ Only increase tightening torque slowly and read-off frictional torque frequently. If the specified frictional torque is exceeded, the spacer sleeve must be replaced and the adjustment repeated. It is not possible to re-use a spacer sleeve that has been excessively compressed.





Fig. 16 Measuring frictional torque

Note:
^ Do not lubricate new taper roller bearings for frictional torque measurement. The bearings have already been treated with special oil by the manufacturer.

With torque gauge, 0 to 600 Ncm, standard commercially available

B - Socket, A/F 36

Note:
Use 3/4" to 1/2" reducer as necessary.

The following frictional torques should be set:








Fig. 17 Removing nut for drive pinion
- When the nut has been locked the radial run-out on the drive shaft flange should be measured.
