Wheel Bearing In Curb Weight, Lifting Vehicles With Coil Spring, Front Axle

Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required

Engine and Gearbox Jack:VAS6931 or Engine and Gearbox Jack:VAG1383A
Tensioning Strap:T10038
Engine/Gearbox Jack Adapter - Wheel Hub Support:T10149

CAUTION:

All bolts at suspension parts with bonded rubber bushings must always be tightened in curb weight position (unloaded condition).

Bonded rubber bushings have a limited range of motion.

Axle components with bonded rubber bushings must be brought into the position they will be in during driving before tightening (curb weight position).

Otherwise, the bonded rubber bushing will be stressed resulting in a shortened service life.

By raising appropriate suspension using :VAS6931 or :VAG1383A and :T10149 , this position can be simulated on the hoist.

NOTE:

Before appropriate suspension is raised, vehicle must be strapped to lift arms of hoist using :T10038 .

WARNING:

The vehicle could fall off the hoist if it is not secured.

-- Turn the wheel hub until one of the holes for the wheel bolts is on top.

-- Install :T10149 with wheel bolt on wheel hub.

NOTE:

Tightening of the respective bolts/nuts must then only occur after dimension -a- between the wheel hub center and the lower edge of wheel housing has been attained.

⁽¹⁾	The suspension that the vehicle is equipped with is indicated on the vehicle data plate. The suspension is indicated by a PR number. Allocation of the PR number according to the suspension.

-- Lift the wheel bearing housing using the :VAS6931 or :VAG1383A until dimension -a- is reached.

WARNING:

Do not lift or lower the vehicle when the engine and gearbox jack is under the vehicle.
Do not leave the :VAS6931 or :VAG1383A under the vehicle longer than necessary.

-- Tighten the bolts and nuts.

-- Lower the wheel bearing housing.

-- Remove the :VAS6931 or :VAG1383A from under the vehicle.

-- Remove :T10149 .
