-- Remove the CV joint from the drive axle using the : T10382 and : VW771 .
- : T10382/1
- : T10382/2
Installing the Outer CV Joint:
If installed, installed location of the spring washer and thrust washer on outer joint
1 - Plate Spring
2 - Spacer ring (plastic)
-- Install the new circlips.
-- Slide new CV boot onto drive axle if necessary.
-- Use a plastic hammer to install it on the shaft until the locking ring locks secure.
Disassembling:

-- Press the triple roller star off the drive shaft.
-- Pull off CV boot from shaft.
-- Clean shaft, joint and groove for oil seal.
Assembling:
-- Slide small clamp for joint protective boot onto shaft.
-- Slide CV boot onto shaft.
-- Slide joint piece onto shaft.
Triple Roller Star, Conical Drive Shaft, Installing:
The chamfer on triple roller star faces toward shaft, this is used as an assembly aid.
-- Install the triple roller star all the way onto the shaft.
-- Make sure the pressure does not increase above 3.0 t.
-- If necessary coat drive axle 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.
Triple Roller Star, Cylinder Drive Shaft, Installing:
-- Install the triple roller star all the way onto the shaft.
-- Make sure the pressure does not increase above 3.0 t.
-- If necessary coat drive axle 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.

Tightening Hose Clamp on Outer Joint:
-- Position : VAG1682A as shown in illustration. When doing this, make sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in corners -arrows B- of clamp.
-- Tighten the hose clamp by turning spindle -A- using a torque wrench (do not tilt clamping pliers).
- Tightening specification: 25 Nm.
A stainless steel clamp must be used due to hardness of CV boot material (compared to rubber). This clamp can only be tensioned using : VAG1682A .
Be sure clamp tool spindle thread -A- moves freely. Grease with MoS2 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.
