Ha. Shouldn ask before even trying… It was easy.
Only needed loosen that centering nut/cap/ dont know the right word. But it wasnt very tight.
Is it worth of trying to open visco with 55mm wrench tool? Or should i use that lathe technique as in vwvortex Forum they do. Will that visco hold that 100bar pressure if cover is locked with snapspring…
Hah again. I just should stop asking things before I even have tried my self.
Ok I got my VC open, I needed a bit of leverage, I had 50cm extra length plus 40cm of socket wrench, Socket needed for this job is 55mm, Rust off is nice add to job also, it helps that metal wire thingy to move more easy.
Few pictures
You need to help that wire end out from that elliptic hole outer side of vc and you get the clue which way to rotate the cap to get that wire out.
Then you only need to give some leverage and that wire comes out.
Next thing you have to do is punch to the axle from the other end to get that cap off.
This is what made me to start this project, and that i have one vc and diff as spare. That vc is i question becouse it have to be machined as those mounting lugs and inserts are so badly damaged.
Plates inside vc look allright i think. That texture/ perforation ( maybe wrong word) is still there. But i dont know how unused should look , im just quesing. There were light rust also on that top plate. But this vc had a leak from broken lug/insert.
I have a source for vc fluid here.
After new threads and inserts i have to fill it with something and close it once to make one pressure test for the casing. That sae documet says something about 100bar but i dont have anything to produce pressure that high. I fi fill it with water and pressure it with lets say 10-20 Bar it should be fine… Maybe.
Ok. I cleaned all the plates today.
I used heavyduty grease remover and it worked good. I think i now know what is this wearing on plates
( that darker area is what i thik is wearing)
I bought new o ring for that cover/ cap. 122mm*3mm. If Fits nice and makes it tight. I also bought new oli seal for visco housing, it was not in vw dealers listing anymore as it is dropped now. Size is 40*52*6, i bought new one 40*52*7 and it Fits good and that contact with axle is now at different spot related to 6mm oil seal so it should be only good thing. What is hard, is to find new x rings for visco, i found ones but those were made of nitrile as originally they are polyurethane( something to do with wearing i think). Maybe PU o ring would work also.
