Information
The cardan flange is connected to the pinion shaft of the Porsche Doppelkupplung with very tight tolerances, i.e. increased removal and installation forces must be overcome when removing and installing the cardan flange. Make sure that the tool is perfectly aligned so as to eliminate the possibility of warping and prevent the tool from slipping off.
- 1.4. Replace and tighten the collar nut.
