Everything came off too easy 😄

Thanks for your positive comment! Stay with us!

Another excellent video. These B5 are of an age where these types of repair are needed so thank you. Rear trailing arm bushes on the Quattro would be nice, never found a video on it.

We will take into account your request, but we have not yet had a video about such a car. AUTODOC

2:33 no way that screw got out so easy! NO WAY!

Hi, some information's are not correct. According to Audi the torque for upper arm control is 40 Nm (NOT 63 Nm) , brake caliper carrier is 125 Nm (NOT 75 Nm) and for the drive axel: M14 bolt: 115 Nm + 1/2 turn (180º) or M16 bolt: 190 Nm + 1/2 turn (180º) (NOT 175 Nm).

Yes, you're right, it will be useful for us. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

10:34 haha is that really the same cv joint, or a new one. It's all shiny and new.

[@giri4903]

Looks like new 😁

[@nocpacity9631]

do you need car alignment after this?

[@ferenczsinko6770]

Dont buy OEM VW genuine CV boot kit. VW are being cheap skates and it does not come with grease or the bolt. FEBI German kits come with both for a better price than VW half kits

[@MarkFB5vr]

Good work 💪

What is the tool introduced at 9:56? Looks like a large impact socket?

[@autodocuk]

This is the fixture from the silent block puller set.

Disassembling the CV joint is not necessary, and not recommended. It's very difficult to do it without marring some metal, and also it's *crucial* to keep the inner and outer parts of the joint aligned, as well as the cage, and put the balls back into the same grooves as before. Just leave it alone, clean out as much old grease as you can, and re-grease it.

[@autodocuk]

We appreciate you sharing with your experience. It will be useful for us and our audience.

[@BigWarningSign]

So just take off the part that fits on the axle without disassembling?

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

i might have decided to overspend but I got a cv joint and boot kit on the way and am just gonna play it safe and replace the thing since the car is over 20 years old even if its an ultra low miler

[@LeonWoodward]

the bag of grease come in the box with the CV boot. the green stuff???

[@autodocuk]

Thanks for following our channel. Yes, grease is also included in the boot and clamp kit, but this depends on the manufacturer, some manufacturers only sell the boot and other manufacturers sell the complete kit. AUTODOC

[@jorgeluis221]

[@peterroche5892]

[@autodocuk]

According to the description, it is difficult to solve your problem, we recommend contacting the service. AUTODOC

[@alexey9900]

Good 👍👍👍🏅

[@terry.chootiyaa]

*You didn't explain what type of grease you used ?😐*

[@davidmorgan2146]

The grease usually comes with the replacement dust boot, or CV joint kit in my experience.

Зачем разбирать и мыть старый шрус если все равно поставили новый ???

[@autodocuk]

In this video, an example of a possible restoration of an old drive shaft CV joint was demonstrated.
