Mount Triple Roller Star

Conical-Type Drive Axle

The chamfer on triple roller star faces toward shaft, this is used as an assembly aid.

- Connect triple roller star on shaft and press on up to stop.

- Make sure the pressure does not increase above 3.0 t.

- If necessary, coat the drive shaft splines and triple roller star with lubricating paste (G 052 142 A2).

- Insert securing ring, be sure to fit properly.

- Press half of the joint grease from the repair set into the triple roller joint.

- Slide joint piece over rollers and secure.

- Press the remaining half of the drive axle grease from the repair kit into the rear side of the triple roller joint.

- Install CV boot.

Mount Triple Roller Star

Cylindrical-Type Drive Axle

- Connect triple roller star on shaft and press on up to stop.

- Make sure the pressure does not increase above 3.0 t.

- If necessary, coat the drive shaft splines and triple roller star with lubricating paste (G 052 142 A2).

- Insert securing ring, be sure to fit properly.

- Press half of the joint grease from the repair set into the triple roller joint.

- Slide joint piece over rollers and secure.

- Press the remaining half of the drive axle grease from the repair kit into the rear side of the triple roller joint.

- Install CV boot.

- Push the protective boot onto the joint and mount the clamp. Refer to => [ Tightening Hose Clamp on Outer Joint ] Drive Axle with CV Joint VL107.

- Install clamp.

• For a better alignment of the multipoint socket head bolts when mounting the axle shaft, it is necessary that the clamping ear of the clamp - arrow A - is placed between the fixing flanges from the joint - arrows B -.

Tightening the Tensioning Clamps on the Larger Diameter on the Inner Joint

- Attach (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).

• The hard material of the joint boot (compared to rubber) makes it necessary to use a stainless steel hose clamp. It is only possible to tighten the hose clamp with (V.A.G 1682).

• Tightening specification: 25 Nm.

• Use torque wrench - C - with adjustment range 5..50 Nm, for example (V.A.G 1331).

• Be sure thread of spindle - A - of clamp tool moves freely. Grease with MOS 2 grease if necessary.

• If the thread is tight for example dirty, the required tensioning force for the hose clamp will not be achieved in spite of correct torque specification settings.
