Only when using expansion wedges
If it is necessary to loosen the removed clamping spring (for attaching the front exhaust pipe to the exhaust pipe) or unclamp to install a new spring, it is necessary to mount using a vise as shown below.
Spring release
Place the clamping spring on the vise so that the spacer wedge faces upwards, and its back side is located between the vise jaws opened approximately 15 mm.
Using a plastic mallet, carefully tap the expansion wedge down.
Spring extension
Place the clamping spring on the vise as shown in the figure.
Drive the long spacer wedge VAG 3140/1 or HAZET2586-1 into the spring as far as it will go. In this case, the vise jaws are opened by about 15 mm.
Attention: If it is not possible to install the pressure spring due to insufficient space for the long expansion wedge in the area of its installation, drive in the short expansion wedge 3140/2 or HAZET 2586-2 next to the long one. Then turn the clamping spring over and carefully knock out the long wedge, leaving the short wedge in the spring.
