Driveshaft, through Calendar Week 26.07
Driveshaft, through Calendar Week 26.07
• The entire driveshaft was balanced during manufacture in order to achieve the quietest possible running. It is not possible to balance the entire driveshaft or the individual driveshaft tubes with workshop equipment. The entire driveshaft must always be replaced if the front or rear driveshaft tubes are damaged.
• Do not kink the driveshaft, only store and move when fully extended.
• Mark the position of all the parts to each other before removing them. Install in the same position otherwise the imbalance will be excessive and the bearings could get damaged causing rumbling noises.

Removing the Constant Velocity (CV) Joint
Installing the CV Joint
- Install carefully.
- Tighten the press block (40-204 A). The driveshaft must not be pressed downward in the press block (40-204 A). Otherwise the paint may be damaged.
- Fix any paint damage according to the directions in the paint repair information.
Tightening the Clamp
Clamping the rear driveshaft tube with the stop plate (T10108/1) in a vise
- Secure the stop plate (T10108/1) to the driveshaft tube flexible disc.
- Place the nuts - B - on the bolts - A - between the stop plate (T10108/1) and flexible disc.

B 2-arm puller , for example, (20/10)
Intermediate Bearing, Installed Position
- a - = 49 mm
Dimension - b - = 45.5 mm
• The larger distance - a - measured from the center of the hole - arrow 1 - to the outer edge of the hole - arrow 2 - must face the flexible disc with the vibration damper (in the reverse direction of travel).
Intermediate Bearing, Installing
- Install the intermediate bearing.
