020 Flange Info
PN: 020 498 085G is for the flange kit. Circlip, seal, and dust cap
PN: 020.409.297 is for JUST the circlip
The goove seems to be around 23.78mm diameter (Shaft diameter is 24.38mm)
This means a standard "25mm" circlip should fit. I bought a 28 because I found some bad docs online, oops.
Info pulled from: http://www.brokevw.com/
There are three different types of 020 output flanges: 90mm old, 90mm new, and 100mm.
- 90mm old
- Used before 1983
- No green sleeves
- Thicker seals
- 90mm new
- Used after April 1983
- Green sleeve in one side for new housings
- Green sleeve in both sides for old housings
- Thinner seals
- 100mm
- Switched sometime during MK2 era (1986+), but some MK2 still use 90mm
100mm flanges are slightly taller, and as such 100m axle shafts are slightly shorter to compensate
Pulling the flanges requires a compression tool, VW #201. TT has one: https://techtonicstuning.com/product/020-transaxle-drive-flange-compressor-vw-tool-201/
