-- Remove the input shaft and then remove the outer race/tapered roller bearing from the transmission housing using the VW 447 i.
-- Install the shim with the correct thickness, thickest shim first.
If the measured shim thickness is larger than those listed in the table, then install two shims that add up to the necessary thickness.
-- Press the outer race/tapered roller bearing and the selected shim (1.175 mm in the example) into the transmission housing using the VW 510.
-- Assemble the transmission housing and tighten the bolts to 25 Nm + 90° (1/4) additional turn.
