Removal and installation of the drive shaft on the right side of the car

To remove the right wheel drive shaft, do the following:



Pic. 118. Loose shock absorber

- loosen the nut in the middle of the piston rod five turns (see fig. 118);

- Loosen the wheel nuts and the wheel hub nut and place the front of the car on supports;

- remove the wheel;

- unscrew the fastening element of the lining from the inside of the wheel arch (four attachment points);



Pic. 175. Removing the drive shaft of the right wheel: 1 - a system of rods and levers of the anti-roll bar; 2 - puller for the head of the tie rod; 3 - clamping screw of the trunnion of the transverse suspension arm

- Disconnect the system of rods and levers of the anti-roll bar from the shock absorber 1 (pic. 175) chassis;


- Wring out a stripper a head of cross-section steering draft;

- unscrew the clamping screw 3 bolts of the transverse suspension arm;

- press down the transverse lever so that the connection is open;

- Disconnect the independent suspension transverse arm in the lower part from the wheel suspension;



Pic. 176. Removing the right wheel drive shaft from the intermediate bearing using a special tool: 1 - coupling bolt articulation; 2 - coupling plate is installed under the hinge of equal angular velocities; 3 - hammer

- install a hammer with a removable plate (pic. 176). Hit with hammer 3 until the shaft disengages from the intermediate bearing;



Pic. 177. The position of the puller on the flange of the wheel hub


- install the puller (pic. 177);

- Press the shaft out of the wheel hub.

Notes

• Do not create an angle of the inner hinge more than 18°, the outer hinge - more than 45°
• All self-locking nuts, cut cable bundles must be replaced with new ones.

To install the drive shaft, do the following:

- insert the shaft into the intermediate bearing and push it inward - the retaining ring should snap into place;

- Pull the steering knuckle out as far as possible and insert the end of the shaft into the steering knuckle;

- put on the wheel hub on the outer side;



Pic. 178. Pressing the drive shaft with a special tool

- press the wheel hub into the steering knuckle (pic. 178);

- screw the nut onto the shaft and tighten so that the shaft protrudes far enough to allow the hub to be put on;

- screw the nut by hand;

- install the trunnion of the transverse suspension arm into the steering knuckle, insert the bolt and tighten the connection to a torque of 83 Nm;

- attach the steering trapezium linkage to the rudder arm (the bolt must be degreased);

- tighten the nut to a torque of 30 Nm;


- Attach the anti-roll bar;

- tighten the connection on the shock absorber strut to 47 Nm;

- fix the wheel and lower the car on the wheels;

- tighten the wheel nuts to 85 Nm and the shaft nut to 340 Nm;

- tighten the nut of the piston rod of the shock absorber strut of the chassis to a torque of 46 Nm;

- Check and, if necessary, top up the oil level in the gearbox.
