6.1 Loosening and tightening drive shaft
hexagon bolt
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Torque/angle wrench -V.A.G 1756-
Wheel bearings must not be subjected to load after bolt securing
drive shaft to wheel hub has been loosened.
If wheel bearings are loaded with weight of vehicle, bearing will
be damaged. This reduces the service life of the wheel bearing.
It is therefore important to note the following:
♦ Procedure for loosening hexagon bolt.
Do not attempt to move the vehicle without the drive shafts fitted
as this would result in wheel bearing damage. If the vehicle does
have to be moved, always note the following points:
– Fit an outer joint in place of drive shaft.
– Tighten outer joint to 120 Nm.
Loosening hexagon bolt
– For vehicles which are still standing on their wheels, loosen
the hexagon bolt a maximum of 90°, as the wheel bearing will
otherwise be damaged.
– Raise vehicle so that wheels are off the ground.
– Have second mechanic apply brakes.
