Driveshaft To Transmission: Installing
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Observe the following when doing so:
- Remove any old or dried-up high temperature grease from the CV joint and the driveshaft flange. Fill with the exact same amount of high temperature grease G 000 633.
- Threaded holes in flange shaft on the transmission must be cleaned of locking compound residue. Use a thread cutter to clean the holes. Otherwise the bolts could break off when being installed.
- Always replace (self-locking) securing bolts for driveshaft.
-- Check the driveshaft seal on the transmission flange for damage and replace if necessary.
-- Install the driveshaft and install the CV joint bolts.
-- Tighten the front bolts on the driveshaft. Tightening specification -item 5- DRIVESHAFT BOLTED ON TRANSMISSION-SIDE ASSEMBLY OVERVIEW - Bolt.
