Sealing Flange with Sensor Wheel on the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134

-- Install the nut -B- just up to the tension surface -A- on the threaded spindle.

-- Mount the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 in a vise by the tension surface -A- on the threaded spindle -1-.

-- Push the assembly bell -C- downwards so that it touches the nut -B- arrow.

• The inner part of the assembly tool and assembly bell must be on the same level.

-- If equipped, remove the securing clip -arrow- from the new sealing flange.

-- Place the sealing flange -1- on a clean even surface with the front side facing up.

-- Press the sealing lip support ring -2- downward in direction of -arrow- until it rests on the level surface.

• Sealing lip support ring upper edge -1- and the front edge of the sealing flange -2- must be flush -arrows-.

-- Position the sealing flange -1- with the front side on the Seal Installer - Rear CrankshaftT10134 so that the locating pin -D- sits in the hole -3- on the sensor wheel -2-.

• The sealing flange must lie flat on the assembly tool.
• There can be only two of the three knurled bolts -H- installed.

-- Remove the knurled bolts -H- from the sealing flange -1-.

-- Push the sealing flange -1- and the sealing lip support ring -2- while tightening on the surface of the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134.

-- So that the locking pin can no longer slide out of the sensor wheel hole.

-- Make sure the sensor wheel remains fixed inside the assembly tool when installing the sealing flange.

Secure the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 with the Sealing Flange -1- on the Crankshaft Flange:

• The crankshaft flange must be free of oil and grease.
• The engine is at "TDC", refer to TOOTHED BELT, REMOVING FROM CAMSHAFT .

-- Install the nut -B- up to the end of the threaded spindle.

-- Press the threaded spindle on Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 in the direction of the -arrow- until the nut -B- touches the assembly bell -C-.

-- Align the flat side of the assembly bell with the oil pan side sealing surface of the cylinder block.

-- Secure the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 together with the sealing flange -1- on the crankshaft flange -2-.

-- To do this insert the hex socket bolts -E- to approximately five threads on the crankshaft flange with a hex socket wrench.

-- Insert guide pin for diesel engines (black handle) -G- in the crankshaft flange.

-- Install two M6 x 35 bolts -3- into the cylinder block -2- to guide the sealing flange -1-.

Bolting Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 to Crankshaft Flange

-- Slide the assembly bell -C- in direction of -arrow- by hand until the sealing lip support ring -1- touches the crankshaft flange -2-.

-- Check in the guide pin for diesel engines (black handle) -G- is seated correctly in the crankshaft hole. Thereby the sensor wheel is retained in the final installed position.

-- Tighten both hex socket head bolts on the assembly tool hand-tight.

-- Install the nut -B- as far as possible on the threaded spindle by hand until it touches the assembly bell -C-.

Installing the Sensor Wheel on the Crankshaft Flange with the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134:

-- Tighten the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 nut -B- to 35 Nm.

• After tightening the nut to 35 Nm, a minimal air gap must still be present between the cylinder block -2- and the sealing flange -1-.

Check the installed position of the sensor wheel on the crankshaft.

-- Install the nut -B- up to the end of the threaded spindle.

-- Remove both bolts -2- from the cylinder block.

-- Remove guide pin for diesel engines (black handle) -G- from the crankshaft flange.

-- Remove the knurled bolts -H- from the sealing flange -1-.

-- Remove the hex socket head bolts -E- from the crankshaft flange and remove the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 from the crankshaft flange.

-- Remove the sealing lip support ring.

-- Attach the Depth Gauge VAS6082 to the crankshaft flange -2-.

-- Measure the distance -a- between the crankshaft flange -2- and the sensor wheel -1-.

• Specified value: Dimension -a- = 0.5 mm.

-- Install the sensor wheel again if the specified value is too small, refer to SEALING FLANGE, TRANSMISSION SIDE .

-- When the specified value is reached, assemble the rest, refer to SEALING FLANGE, TRANSMISSION SIDE .

Press on the Sensor Wheel.

-- Secure the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 on the crankshaft flange -2-.

-- Pay attention that the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 locating pin is seated in the sensor wheel hole.

-- Tighten the hex socket bolts -E- hand-tight.

-- Insert guide pin for diesel engines (black handle) -G- in the crankshaft flange.

-- Push the knurled bolts -H- in the sealing flange -1-.

-- Install two M6 x 35 bolts -2- into the cylinder block to guide the sealing flange.

-- Tighten the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 nut -B- to 40 Nm.

-- Check the sensor wheel installed position on the crankshaft one more time, refer to SEALING FLANGE, TRANSMISSION SIDE .

-- Tighten the nut on the Seal Installer - Rear Crankshaft T10134 to 45 Nm if the specified value is too small.

-- Check the sensor wheel installed position on the crankshaft one more time, refer to SEALING FLANGE, TRANSMISSION SIDE .
