Sealing Ring, Installing

Sealing ring, installing, 01A, 5 SPD. M/T (AWD)
Installation is in reverse order of removal. Note the following:





^ Replace O-ring between pinion shaft bearing and flange.
^ Lightly oil O-ring before installation.
^ Fill area between sealing lip and dust lip halfway with sealing grease G 052 128 A1.
^ Lightly oil outer circumference of seal.





^ Drive in seal for flange/driveshaft using mandrel 3026 up to stop.





^ Drive flange for driveshaft far enough onto pinion shaft so that securing nut can be installed.
^ Clean pinion shaft nut and thread at pinion shaft from oil and grease residue. Lightly coat thread with locking fluid D 000 600.

Note:
^ Use previously installed hex nut for securing flange to pinion shaft. Otherwise the original installation position will not be found again.

^ Tighten pinion shaft exactly to the previously marked position.

Note: The number of turns when screwing on must be the same as when unscrewing.





^ To ensure that the installation is OK, perform a check measurement of measurement - a - and - b -.
^ Hex nut must stand exactly at marked position.
^ Deviation from original measurement 0.3 mm.





^ Secure hex nut.
^ Top off gear oil in rear final drive and check oil level Gear oil in rear final drive, checking.
^ Determine radial run-out at flange/driveshaft if a factory marking is present at the driveshaft Measure radial play at flange/driveshaft and mark and adjust color marking at driveshaft to new marking at flange.
^ If there was no factory marking on driveshaft (color marking) and the position of driveshaft in relation to final drive flange was marked before removal, driveshaft must be installed in same position Driveshaft, removing and installing.

Note:
^ After disconnecting driveshaft from rear final drive, an additional balance washer (thick washer) that may be located between shim and bolt head may not be reinstalled.
^ After removing the driveshaft, always remove any remaining locking fluid from thread bores in the transmission drive flanges and the rear final drive. Otherwise there is a possibility that the new bolts may get jammed when installed and shear when removed.
^ Cleaning can be performed with a tap.
^ Replace driveshaft bolts (self-locking).

^ Replace seal at flange/driveshaft and tighten driveshaft.
^ Install exhaust system and align free of tension.
