Note: A press piece must be placed below the hub of the input gear to avoid damaging it.





Fig. 3 Inserting tapered roller bearing inner race
- Insert tapered roller bearing inner race with AMV 185 101 A1 (arrow).





Fig. 4 Removing input gear
- Insert socket head fastener without dished washer, shim and axial needle bearing far enough for a gap size a = 3 mm to exist between socket head fastener and tapered roller bearing inner race.
- Drive out input gear with VW 771 up to stop of tapered roller bearing inner race.
- Remove VW 771 and take out input gear.
