Always replace both tapered roller bearings
together as a set. If possible, use same
manufacturer.
Do not oil new tapered roller bearings for the
friction torque measurement. The bearings are
already factory treated with a special oil.

Note:
If the specified friction torque is exceeded, the spacer sleeve must be
replaced and the adjustment repeated. A spacer sleeve that has been
over-compressed at any time cannot be reused. Fig. 11 Tightening nut for pinion shaft and measuring friction
torque
- Attach 3304 using two M8 x 30 hex-head bolts.
- Final drive must be supported when tightening nut (e.g. using
VAG1359/2 universal transmission attachment in combination with
VAG1383A transmission jack).
- Replace nut for pinion shaft.
- Tighten nut for pinion shaft, until no more play can be felt on pinion
shaft.
- Increase tightening torque until specified friction torque is attained,
measuring friction torque several times during this process Fig. 12
