ABS Ring

[p1-gaz]

Hi there. Does anybody know the distance required betwen the abs ring and the snap clip on a rear near side half shaft from the kzn185 3L diesel auto surf '96/'97 mk3?

The garage have kindly removed all from the shaft to change the bearing and seem not to have made a note of how they took it apart!

There is a gap of approx 5mm between the spring clip and ABS gear.

Place bearing onto shaft, and with tool and lump hammer, tap the bearing down until it bottoms, taking care as it goes into the housing.
Do the same with the 1st locking ring.

Place spring clip on shaft and push down till it locates in rebate on shaft.

Lightly oil bore on ABS sensor gear, using tube and lump hammer press the gear back in place (do not force it all the way to the spring clip, there is a gap of approx 5mm between the spring clip and ABS gear.)

Lightly oil 2nd locking ring.
Using tube and lump hammer press the ring back in place (tapered edge of locking ring is uppermost as this locates in the inner oil seal)

Back on the rear axle remove the inner oil seal and replace with new seal.
Inner seal is located in the axle and the best way of removal is by brute force and destruction .
Refit inner seal by tapping round the outside with a suitable drift; take your time so as not to damage it.

Treat

Thank you very much. That all worked a treat and I have all four wheels firmly attatched to my surf again!
