I will be replacing the CV boot soon and want to know if the 12 point nut is reusable?

TIA

 

No, service manual says to "Always replace 12 pt nut".

Bonded axle (splines "glued" into hub) 265 Nm

Greased axle, 195Nm + 90 degrees

 

My CV axle kit I bought came with the nuts included (fyi)

 

I bought the inner CV boot repair kit. I'm actually considering buying the outer kit just for the nut.
Does anyone know of the part number/ place to purchase?

 

I checked Vag-cat for the part number but its listed wrong. I still cant find the nut by itself, if anyone has an idea let me know.

 

Well just in case anyone comes across this thread the part number is #N90587602.
This is just in case anyone is replacing the inner CV boot. Most repair kits for the inner boot only have the boot clamp and circlips no oouter nut.

ECS tuning has them for about $5.00 before shipping.
Arizona autohaus has them as well $5.00 before shipping.

good luck.
