Withdrawal
1. Loosen the front wheel nuts.
2. Raise the car and secure it on supports.
3. Turn away nuts and remove a forward wheel.
4. Remove the cotter pin, unscrew the castle nut and remove the washer securing the drive shaft to the front wheel hub.
5. 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.
6. Remove the caliper and secure it to the A-pillar with soft wire.
7. Using a puller 09568-34000, disconnect the ball joint of the lower arm from the steering knuckle.
8. Remove the speed sensor from the steering knuckle.
9. Mark position and turn out bolts of fastening of the bottom part of a rack of a forward suspension bracket to a rotary fist.
10. 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.
11. Tilt the steering knuckle outward and remove the drive shaft from the front wheel hub.
12. Drain the transmission fluid from the gearbox.
13. Insert a pry bar between the driveshaft inner CV joint and the gearbox and lightly tap the pry bar to remove the driveshaft from the gearbox.
- In order not to damage the gearbox housing and CV joint, use the pry bar very carefully.
- Do not insert the pry bar very deep, so as not to damage the oil sealing ring.
- Do not pull on the drive shaft as this will damage the constant velocity joints.
14. Get a power shaft from a transmission.
- Install special plugs instead of drive shafts so that dirt does not get into the gearbox.
- Properly support the drive shaft.
- Replace the differential seal each time the drive shaft is removed.
- After disconnecting the drive shaft from the hub, be careful not to damage the ABS sensor and the sensor gear rotor on the drive shaft.
Examination
1. Check the protective covers of the CV joints of the drive shaft for damage and rubber hardening.
2. Check ball joints for wear.
3. Check the splines on the ends of the drive shaft for wear and damage.
4. Check the vibration damper for cracks and wear.
Installation
1. Lubricate the sealing lip of the differential oil seal.
2. Install a new circlip on the inner end of the drive shaft. Push the drive shaft into the gearbox with the circlip cut at the bottom.
3. After installation, pull the drive shaft outward and make sure it is securely locked with the O-ring.
4. Install the brake shield, hub, brake disc and wheel bearing into the steering knuckle.
Attention! Be careful not to damage the brake shield and O-ring.
5. Install the Birfield CV joint into the steering knuckle.
6. In practice, the steering knuckle should be installed in the lower arm at the same time as installing the Birfield CV joint in the steering knuckle.
Attention! Be careful not to damage the ABS sensor and sensor gear rotor on the drive shaft.
7. Connect the steering knuckle to the front suspension strut and secure them with bolts and nuts, tightening them to a torque of 75–90 Nm.
8. Establish a pin of the spherical hinge of the bottom lever in a rotary fist and fix a nut, having tightened it the moment of 60–72 Нм.
9. Establish a pin of the spherical hinge of a tip of steering draft in a rotary fist and fix a nut.
10. After installation, manually check the smooth rotation of the drive shaft.
11. Place a washer under the driveshaft-to-hub nut with the convex side outward, then screw on the slotted nut and secure it with a cotter pin.
12. Fill in a transmission liquid in a transmission.
13. Install the wheel.
14. Check up corners of installation of forward wheels.
15. Check ABS sensor signal.
