Assembly diagram of a cardan shaft with a constant velocity joint "Tripod"- "AAR2000"
Important: When replacing the protective cuff, the hinge should be additionally lubricated with consistent grease, if necessary. When filling the Tripod constant velocity joint with grease, under no circumstances should any grease get into the protective boot. The total amount of grease should be divided into two halves, one part should be filled into the rear section, and the other part into the front section of the constant velocity joint "Tripod".
1 - Hinge protective cuff, check for cracks and damage; 2 - Clamping bracket, replace; 3 - Replace the screw after each removal by first tightening all the screws crosswise with a torque of 10 Nm, then tighten them crosswise with a final tightening torque of: M8 = 20 Nm + 90°, M10 = 50 Nm + 45°; 4 - Washer; 5 - Hinge element; 6 - Coupling with spikes, chamfer (cut) "arrow" to the splines of the cardan shaft; 7 - Retaining ring, replace, install in the groove located in the shaft; 8 - O-ring, replace; 9 - Cover, replace; 10 - Hose clamp, for constant velocity joint "Tripod", replace; 11 - Constant velocity joint protective sleeve, check for cracks and damage; 12 - Cardan shaft; 13 - Clamping bracket, replace; 14 - Disc spring; 15 - Thrust ring; 16 - Retaining ring, replace, install in the groove located in the shaft; 17 - Outer joint, complete, replace only as a set, installation: using a plastic hammer, carefully tap onto the shaft until the spring retaining ring stops springing, do not lubricate the threads of the outer joint of the drive shaft; 18 - Oil deflector ring; 19 - Twelve-sided nut, 50 Nm +45°, replace after each removal
Type and quantity of grease
Important: The outer joints of the cardan shaft can be filled with normal temperature grease, e.g. "N 052 738 00". To lubricate the Tripod constant velocity joint, use high temperature grease.
