2. (T10382/2)
Driving on Outer CV Joint
Installed Location: Spring Washer and Thrust Washer on Outer Joint
1 - Dished washer
2 - Thrust washer
- Install the new circlips.
- Slide new CV boot onto drive axle if necessary.
- Drive it onto shaft with plastic hammer until securing ring engages.
Removing the Inner CV Joint
- Secure the drive axle with protective covers in a vise clamp.
- Fold back boot.
- Remove the CV joint from the drive axle using a drift - A -.
• Drive must be applied exactly on star of CV joint.

Tightening Hose Clamp on Outer 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).
• A stainless steel clamp must be used due to hardness of CV boot material (compared to rubber). This clamp can only be tensioned using (V.A.G 1682).
• Tightening specifications: 25 Nm.
• Use torque wrench - C - with adjustment range 5...50 Nm (e.g. (V.A.G 1331) ).
• Be sure thread of spindle - A - of clamp tool moves freely. Grease with MOS 2 grease if necessary.
• If it does not move freely, e.g. due to dirt in thread, the required clamp tension will not be achieved at the specified torque.
