[Vwdiesel] RE: Intermediate shaft bearings

[David Kysar]

It takes me about two weeks to pull an engine (bum leg long story.)
Thinking if I can't clear the fender I could take it off.
Anyway  for the life of me I can't picture where the bearings are. Like I
say I remember pulling the shaft on one of these engines a few years ago but
can't remember any bearings.

So  how many bearings are there?  And if I'm able to remove the intermediate
shaft w/out engine removal will it be possible to pound the bearing in or
am I trying the impossible?  What is used to hone?  Is there a tool to seat
the bearing?

Sorry so many questions, can't belive this isn't in Bently's.  This is for
an 85 Jetta with a fresh rebuilt motor from a rebutable rebuilder.  I put a
JY vaccum pump on the engine which was worn and it lead to throwing the
intermediate shaft off, so after replacing the vacuum pump I still have low
oil pressure so intermediate bearings here I come.

thanks all,

Dave Kysar

I have replaced the intermediate shaft bearings on a quantum in the car.I
also made up tooling to do this.If you buy bearings from vw and press them
in they are tight.I use after market ones that don,t need honed after you
press them in.

  You'd have to jack the engine awfully high!  The shaft comes out of the
middle of the engine and is about 2' long.  You gotta clear that fender!  I
don't honestly think it can be done without pulling the engine.  In an A1
body it's about a 45 minute job to drop the engine.  :)  The easiest way
to do the bearings is with a cam bearing tool.  There are hone to fit and
no hone bearings.  I've had to hone the no hone ones.  :(  Supposed to
be no-hone ones anyway.
