Caution
Wheel bearings must not be subjected to load after loosening
bolt securing drive shaft at wheel hub.
If they have to support the weight of the vehicle they will be
damages and their service life will be reduced.
It is not permissible to turn drive shaft bolt more than 90° anti-
clockwise if vehicle is standing on its wheels.
Do not attempt to move the vehicle without the drive shafts
fitted; this would result in wheel bearing damage. If it is nec‐
essary for a vehicle to be moved, please comply with the
following instructions:
♦ Install an outer joint instead of the drive shaft.
♦ Tighten outer joint to 120 Nm.
Loosen outer bolt on drive shaft.
– With the vehicle still standing on its wheels, loosen the bolt by
maximum 90° in order not to damage the wheel bearing. Use
the 24 mm socket insert - T10361A- to do this.
– Raise vehicle so that wheels are off the ground.
– Have second mechanic apply brakes.
