Wheel Bearing With Coil Spring, Lifting To Curb Weight Position
Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
- Engine/transmission jack:V.A.G 1383 A
- Tensioning strap:T10038
- Wheel hub support:T10149
All bolts at suspension parts with bonded rubber bushings must always be tightened in curb weight position (unloaded condition).
Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent.
Parts with bonded rubber bushings must therefore be brought into a position that corresponds to the position in driving mode before being tightened (curb weight position).
Otherwise, the bonded rubber bushing will be stressed resulting in a shortened service life.
By raising appropriate suspension using :V.A.G 1383 A and :T10149 , this position can be simulated on the hoist.
-- Before starting work, take measurement -a-, e.g. with tape measure, from center of wheel to lower edge of wheelhouse.
Measurement must be performed in curb weight position (unloaded condition).
-- Note measured value. It will be required for tightening bolts/nuts.
Before appropriate suspension is raised, vehicle must be strapped to lift arms of hoist using :T10038 .
If a vehicle is not secured, there is danger that the vehicle could slip off the lift!
-- Remove the wheel.
-- Turn the wheel hub until one of the holes for the wheel bolts is on top.
-- Install :T10149 with wheel bolt on wheel hub.
Tightening of the respective bolts/nuts must only occur if dimension -a-, measured before installation between wheel hub center and lower edge of wheel house, has been attained.
-- Using :V.A.G 1383 A , lift wheel bearing housing until dimension -a- is reached.
- Do not lift or lower vehicle when the :V.A.G 1383 A stands below the vehicle.
- Do not leave :V.A.G 1383 A below vehicle any longer than necessary.
-- Tighten Respective Bolts/Nuts.
-- Lower Wheel Bearing Housing.
-- Remove :V.A.G 1383 A Under Vehicle.
-- Remove :T10149 .
