Pressing off joint hub 

1. Press joint hub (37d) off rear axle shaft (37a) using drift.
2. Check joint hub (37d) and rear axle shaft (37a) for damage to the splined profile.

   If no more than 3 teeth per caulking point on the splined profile of the joint hub (arrow) have broken off up to a length of max. 6 mm, the joint hub (37d) can continue to be used.

Caulking joint hub 

5. Clamp rear axle shaft in vise so that the joint hub (37d) rests on the shell halves.
6. Recaulk (arrows) at points halfway between the existing caulking points.

   To prevent damage (e.g. rupture) in the ball races, the caulking points must be as close as possible to the splined profile.
