Withdrawal
Attention! Before removing the drive shafts, cover any sharp edges near the drive shafts with towels to protect the boots from damage.
Attention! When removing the drive shaft, be careful not to stretch the constant velocity joint, as this may cause separation of the internal elements of the joint and possible damage to it. The CV joint and the protective cover must be well protected when working on or near the drive shafts.
1. Remove the front wheel.
2. Remove the cotter pin, unscrew the castle nut and remove the washer securing the drive shaft to the front wheel hub.
3. Remove the cotter pin and unscrew the nut securing the ball joint pin of the tie rod end to the steering knuckle. Using a puller 09568-34000, press the ball joint trunnion out of the steering knuckle.
Attention! Attach the puller to the nearest element of the car with a cord.
4. Remove the caliper and secure it to the A-pillar with soft wire.
5. Using a dial gauge, measure the runout and end play of the front wheel hub.
6. Using a puller 09568-34000, disconnect the ball joint of the lower arm from the steering knuckle.
7. Remove the speed sensor from the steering knuckle.
8. Mark position and turn out bolts of fastening of the bottom part of a rack of a forward suspension bracket to a rotary fist.
9. Knock out the drive shaft from the front wheel hub with a kapron hammer. If the drive shaft is firmly seated in the front wheel hub, spray impregnating spray thinner into the spline area and then re-thread the collar nut until it is flush with the end of the shaft. Hit the nut with a brass hammer to knock the drive shaft out of the hub.
10. Remove a rotary fist together with a nave of a forward wheel.
Disassembly
1. Turn out two screws and remove a brake disk from a nave of a forward wheel.
2. Remove the snap ring.
3. Install special tools 09517-29000, 09517-21500 as shown.
4. Turning the special tool, remove a nave of a forward wheel from a rotary fist.
5. Remove the special tool and dust ring.
6. Using the special tool 09495–33000, 09551–31000, remove the bearing inner race from the hub.
7. Using the special tool 09495–33100, 09517–29000, remove the bearing outer race from the steering knuckle.
Examination
1. Check the hub for cracks and wear.
2. Check the brake disc for wear and damage.
3. Check up a rotary fist on absence of cracks.
4. Check the bearing for cracks or damage.
Assembly
1. Apply a light coat of grease to the knuckle bore and bearing outer race.
2. Using a press with a mandrel 09495-33100 of the appropriate diameter, press in a new wheel bearing.
- Do not apply pressure to the bearing inner race.
- Always use a new bearing when installing.
3. Establish a spring ring in a groove of a rotary fist.
4. Install the dust ring.
5. Using a press with a mandrel 09495–33100 of the appropriate diameter, press the hub into the wheel bearing.
Attention! Do not apply pressure to the outer race of the bearing.
6. Install the brake shield.
7. Using a special tool 09517–21500, screw the hub to the steering knuckle, tightening the tool bolt to a torque of 200–260 Nm.
8. Rotate the hub several times so that the bearing elements are in place.
9. Measure the torque required to turn the bearing. Torque: no more than 1.8 Nm.
10. If the torque is 0 Nm, measure the hub bearing end play.
11. If the torque exceeds the required value, then the bearing is not correctly installed in the steering knuckle and on the hub. Disassemble the steering knuckle and reassemble it. Bearing axial play: no more than 0.008 mm.
12. Remove special tool 09517-21500.
13. Install the brake disc and secure it with screws.
Installation
1. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
Attention! Tighten the threaded connections to the required torques in the following order:
- Nut of fastening of a power shaft: 200–260 Nm
- Nut of fastening of a pin of a spherical hinge of the lower lever to a rotary fist: 60–72 Nm
- Nut of fastening of a rotary fist to a rack: 130–150 N·m
2. Establish a rack and a power shaft in a rotary fist.
3. Connect the ABS sensor.
4. Install the caliper.
5. Tighten the lower arm ball joint trunnion to the steering knuckle.
6. Tighten the nut securing the tie rod end ball joint pin to the steering knuckle and secure it with a pin.
7. Install washer and tighten castle nut.
8. Install cotter pin.
9. Install the wheel.
