Drive shaft sealing ring
1 – sealing ring; 2 – normal condition of working edges; 3 – worn working edges; 4 – drive shaft; 5 – lubrication
1. Check the condition of the working edges of the sealing rings and replace them if necessary.
2. The sealing ring can be removed from its socket in the following way: Drill two holes in the end part of the sealing ring, screw self-tapping screws into the holes and use the screws to remove the sealing ring.
3. Before installing a new sealing ring, apply a layer of grease to its working edges and, using a pipe of the appropriate diameter, insert it into the socket.
4. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the splined parts of the drive shaft and hub.
5. Insert the drive shaft into the steering knuckle.
6. Insert the wheel hub onto the splines of the drive shaft and tighten it as far as possible using tool 14-022 (1 – steering knuckle, 2 – hub, 3 – tool 14-022, 4 – drive shaft).
7. Remove the device, install the washer on the shaft and screw on a new nut without tightening it completely.
8. Remove the plugs from the gearbox and insert the drive shafts into place, rotating the drive shaft until its splines are fully engaged with the differential axle gear, and then press on the wheel until the shaft is secured with a retaining ring (shown by arrows).
9. Install the brake disc and brake caliper.
10. Screw on the wishbone, insert the ball joint into the steering knuckle and tighten to the specified torque.
Caution! When installing the wishbones, do not turn the Torx bolt under any circumstances.
11. Fill the gearbox with oil.
12. Lower the car.
13. Tighten the fully lubricated wheel hub nut and secure it from unscrewing by pressing the flange of the nut into the groove of the drive shaft.
