Nuts and bolts
♦ Slacken and tighten fixing screws and nuts of covers and
housings diagonally across in stages.
♦ Do not twist particularly sensitive parts - e.g. clutch pressure
plates - slacken and tighten diagonally across in stages.
♦ Specified torques given are for unlubricated nuts, bolts and
screws.
♦ Always replace the self-locking screws and nuts ⇒ Electronic
Catalogue of Original Parts .
♦ It is important to ensure at all bolted connections that the con‐
tact surfaces as well as the nuts and bolts are waxed only after
being installed, should this be necessary.
♦ Clean all threaded holes into which self-locking bolts were
screwed in, using a suitable thread tap to remove old locking
agent residues. Otherwise there is the risk that the self-locking
screw will shear when removing.
Bearings
♦ New taper roller bearings are fitted as supplied and do not
require any additional lubrication.
♦ Fit needle bearings to the gearbox with some gearbox fluid.
♦ Replace all taper roller bearings belonging to one shaft at the
same time. As far as possible use bearings of the same make.
♦ Before installing, heat the inner rings of the bearing on a heat‐
ing plate or with the hot-air blower , e.g. -V.A.G 1416- , to
approx. 100°C, when installing press in axial and play-free up
to the stop.
♦ The temperature can be checked with a temperature measur‐
ing instrument.
♦ Do not exchange the outer and inner rings of bearings of the
same size. The bearings are matched in pairs.
♦ Position needle bearing with the lettered side (thicker end) to‐
wards the drift pin.
Shims
♦ Gauge shims at several points with a micrometer. Different
tolerances allow to measure the required thickness for each
washer very precisely ⇒ electronic catalogue of original parts .
♦ Inspect washers for burrs and damage.
♦ Install only adjusting washers which are in perfect condition.
