Front drive axle, servicing<br />

Página 3 de 61<br />

The wheel bearings must not be loaded when the 12-point<br />

nut/hex bolt is loose.<br />

If the bearings are loaded by the vehicles own weight the<br />

will bearing will be damaged. The wheel bearings will be<br />

stressed and the life expectancy reduced.<br />

If a vehicle that has a drive axle removed and is to be<br />

moved, an outer CV joint must be installed in place of the<br />

drive axle and be tightened to 50 Nm. Otherwise, the wheel<br />

bearing will be damaged.<br />

The wheel hub/drive axle on model "<strong>Golf</strong> GTI 132 kW" and<br />

R32 is secured with a hex bolt - 1 - instead of a 12-point<br />

nut. The spline of the outer joint - 2 - is slightly shorter then<br />

previous splines and has an internal thread.<br />

The revised assembly sequence and revised torque<br />

settings are contained in the following work sequence.<br />

- Lift vehicle until the load on front axle is relieved.<br />

- Loosen 12-point nut.<br />

- Disconnect drive axle from transmission axle flange.<br />

Vehicles with 12-point nut<br />

- Mark installation position of bolts from ball joint to control<br />

arm.<br />
