Caution
The wheel bearing must not be under load when the drive axle
threaded connection on the wheel side is loose.
If the wheel bearings are under the load of the vehicle weight,
the wheel bearing will be damaged. This reduces the service

The drive axle bolt may be loosened maximum 90° when the
vehicle is standing on its wheels.
Vehicles without a drive axle must not be moved, otherwise the
wheel bearing will be damaged. If a vehicle must be moved,
be sure to note the following:
♦ Install an outer joint in place of the drive axle.
♦ Tighten the outer joint to 120 Nm.
– Loosen the wheel bolts.
