Installation position of oil guide in gearbox housing
Oil guide is clipped into housing.
Pull out bearing races of output shafts
All bearing races of output shafts 1 to 3 are removed
»in the same way«
. Here, for example, the removal of output shaft 1 is described. Bearing races of output shafts 2 and 3 are removed in the same manner.
Make sure that bearing race does not

Insert shim.
Press in bearing race to stop.
Prepare bearing races of output shafts 2 and 3 for pressing in
First insert 1 shim into housing.
Then position

Driving out bearing race of differential
Bearing is driven out using a suitable drift.
Before driving out, place ring of
thrust pieces for drive pinion bearing

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
