30 mm Axle nut, tight as possible until axle nut does not turn anymore.

Avoid extending the axle in an extreme position with suspension at maximum droop.Sway bar bolt to Control Arm, 33 ft lbs.

3 bolts under control arm, 15 ft lbs plus a ¼ turn.6 bolts holding axles to Transmission, 59 ft lbs.DO NOT try to lift the rotor assembly up. NOTE: push down on Control arm when trying to re-insert ball joint.

Install your NEW RAXLES in reverse order!! Be Careful, Make SURE you line up the splines on the end of the Raxles with the splines on your hub.

Pull the OEM axles out through the wheel wells and clean all the old grease out of the transmission flange.

Now use the 10 mm 12 point(Triple Square) bit again and finish removing the 6 bolts that hold the axle to the transmission.

The OEM axle will now be resting on the Control arm and still attached to the transmission.

Yes it will be hanging by the strut but that’s okay.

Once the axle is pushed through the hub assembly pull the whole rotor assembly back and out of the way.

Caution: On the right side, the axle may hold the spring in tension.

While pulling out on the rotor use the gun to push out the axle through. If you have an Air Impact Hammer this makes it SO much easier. DO NOT at any time during this procedure rotate the rotor, it could damage the wheel bearings.

While pulling out on the rotors hub use the Hammer and pointed chisel on the center of the OEM axle and drive it out of the hub of the rotor.

Have your buddy hold the rotor so that it does not turn while you are loosening the bolts. This is where you will use the 10 mm 12 point (Triple Square) bit.

If you are not using an Impact Gun during this procedure, now is a good time to loosen the bolts that hold the axle to the transmission.

Remove 19 mm Nut that hold Tie rod ends to Control arms.

Remove 13 mm bolts under control arm and behind the rotor.

Swing Sway bar up and back to allow for easy removal of the OEM axles.

Remove 16 mm sway bar bolt from Control Arm on both side of vehicle.

DO NOT attempt this procedure without jack stands!!!! Lift front end of vehicle and place jack stands under car for support. Engage parking brake and secure rear wheels with blocks to prevent rolling.

On flat level ground, turn car off and put car in Neutral.

I have no issues shifting when the gearbox is warmed up. Motul Gear 300 has a pretty low pour point and 40C the viscosity is 58 IIRC. Redline doesn't make anything that will work with a GL4/5 rating for vws. Yes but you're forgetting that GL4/5 aka GL4+ is different from regular GL-4. Molakule stated that the G52 is too thin for this transmission for optimal wear protection, so the slightly thicker Redline MTL, combined with its higher level of anti-wear additives, would be my choice. Though thicker, Redline MTL (10cst) should work in this transmission.

Redline's D4 ATF does carry a GL-4 rating, however, I doubt it provides the same level of anti-wear protection as a Manual Transmission Lubricant. **the 75-90 viscosity of common gear / manual transmission oils is IMO not suitable for use in VW transmissions where G52 is specified.**įind a super thin oil that is GL4/GL5 rated.Ģ) Royal Purple Synchromax (unsure of rating) Point being that even though Motul Gear 300 has an outstandingly low pour point (flows to -60). : New G52 = 6.3, G52 after 43,000 miles = 6.4Īdditionally, in these crazy unseasonably warm temps the Motul Gear 300 shifts fine - but early yesterday morning when temps were in the mid 40s - the first few shifts with Motul Gear 300 were noticably more effortful than the G52 ever was - even at below 0 temps. OEM G52 did not shear down at all in 43,000 miles of use: So, I went to the dealer this morning, bought a liter of G52, then drove to my local CAT fluid analysis lab and watched as he tested its viscosity right in front of me.Ħ.3 = OEM G52 (part numbers G052726A2 / G05272601)

My thinking was that either the OEM oil sheared way down OR the OEM fluid started out much lighter than the 75w-90 oils that many of us are commonly replacing G52 with. I had the lab perform a VOA on the Motul Gear 300 I put in and its = 14.0. The CAT lab ran the viscosity test twice because I listed the oil as being a 75w-90 - which G52 clearly is not. Of the factory fill (G52) in my 2004 Golf TDI 5-speed after 43,000 miles was 6.4.
