with VL107 (push-on) constant velocity

slip joint

Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Multi-purpose tool -VW 771-

♦ Puller -T10382-

Removing outer constant velocity joint
– Clamp drive shaft in vice using protective jaw covers.
– Fold back boot.
– Set puller -T10382- up so that smooth side of puller plate -

T10382/1- points to spindles -T10382/2- .

– Assemble puller -T10382- complete with multi-purpose tool -

VW 771- .

– Tighten hose clip by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do

not cant pliers).

Note

Because a stainless steel clip is required due to the hard ma‐

terial of the joint boot (compared to rubber), it is possible to

tighten the clip only with special pliers -V.A.G 1682- .

Specified torque: 25 Nm.

Use torque wrench -C- with adjustment range 5 … 50 Nm, (e.g.

torque wrench -V.A.G 1331- ).

Make sure thread of spindle -A- on pliers moves freely. Lubri‐

cate with MoS2 grease if necessary.

If the thread is tight (e.g. due to dirt), the required clamping

force for the clip will not be attained although the correct torque

is applied.

Checking outer constant velocity joint

The joint is to be dismantled to renew the grease if it is heavily

soiled, or to check the running surfaces of the balls for wear and

damage.
Removing
– Before dismantling, mark position of ball hub in relation to ball

cage and joint body with an electric scriber or oil stone.

– Swing ball hub and ball cage.
– Remove balls one at a time.

– Take out cage with hub.

– Swing segment of hub into square cage window.
– Tip hub out of cage.
The six balls for each joint belong to a tolerance group. Check

stub axle, hub, cage and balls for small indentations (pitting) and

traces of seizing. Too much circumferential backlash in the joint

becomes noticeable during load change jolts; in such cases, the

joint must be renewed. Smoothing and traces of wear of the balls

are no reason to change the joint.
Installing
– Pack half of total grease quantity (40 g) into joint body.
– Fit cage with hub into joint body.
– Press in opposing balls one after the other; the original position

of the hub relative to the cage and joint body must be restored.

– Fit new retaining ring into hub.
– Distribute remaining grease in boot.
