One-part propshaft installed from 28/05/2007. The front propshaft
pipe can be separated from rear propshaft pipe.
Work on the propshaft should be carried out on a two-pillar lift
platform.
• Before the removal, mark the position of all parts to each other.
Carry out the installation again in the same position, otherwise
the imbalance is too great, damages to the bearing and hum‐
ming noises could occur.
• The front flexible disk on the propshaft and the corresponding
fixing screws are not available as a spare part. Thus in case
of damage, the entire propshaft must be replaced ⇒ Electronic
Catalogue of Original Parts .
• Do not bend the propshaft, only store extended and transport.
• When removing, do not let the propshaft »hang«, always sup‐
port it.
• Always remove the propshaft horizontally from the centering
stud or push on.
