OCTAVIA
Edition 11.02
S00.5103.65.20
Front Wheel Suspension
K - Tighten warm-type clamp (drive shaft side)
with tensioning pliers e.g. V.A.G 1275.
K - Cover tripod joint with cardboard disk -A- and
adhesive tape -B-.
Notes:
♦ After repairing, the tripod joint is covered with
a clean cut cardboard disk -A- and adhesive
tape -B-. A contamination of the tripod spi-
der, the joint part and the grease filling is pre-
vented through this. Furthermore an acciden-
tal push back of the tripod joint is avoided
when installing the drive shaft.
♦ The adhesive tape and cardboard disk must
only be removed when screwing the drive
shaft to the drive flange.
