Special tools and equipment

VW771 slide hammer - complete set
3257 Puller
Kukko 21/3 extractor

Notes:
Removal and installation is also possible with
transmission installed.
The differential can be removed and installed
without disassembling shift mechanism, input
shaft, pinion shaft or transmission cover. The
above components have to be disassembled if
the differential needs to be adjusted.
Flanges with and without polygon bearings are
used. Application Page 00

Polygon bearings can only be replaced together
with drive flange.

Look for visible damage to polygon bearings.
The rough operation of the polygon bearing with
the drive flange not installed is not an indication
that the bearings are malfunctioning. An
acoustic check can only be carried out while
installed.
A spacer ring is installed between the polygon
bearing and differential pinion for drive flanges
with a spline diameter of 30 mm Page 39
