Removal, dismantling, assembly and installation of forward power shafts

The bearing of a nave of a wheel can be damaged under car weight, for example at car movement with the removed power shafts therefore in this case it is necessary to use the special adaptation. After a detachment of power shafts from naves work accurately not to damage gear rotors of sensors of speed ABS located on shaft.

The special adaptation for unloading of a nave of a wheel

Removal and installation

Components of forward power shafts

1 — the Right power shaft
2 — the Lock ring
3 — the Tip of steering draft
4 — the Left power shaft
5 — Collars
6 — Nizhny the suspension bracket lever
7 — Protective covers
8 — the External holder
9 — Balls

10 — the Internal holder
11 — the Shaft of the internal CV JOINT
12 — the Boot
13 — the External lock ring
14 — the Boot No. 2
15 — the Shaft of the external CV JOINT
16 — the Pin
17 — the Sensor of speed of ABS
18 — the Fixing cap
19 — the Left shaft


 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Remove the corresponding forward wheel.
  2. Lower ATF, having turned out from AT a drain stopper.
  3. Remove a casing of a wheel arch.
  4. Turn out a bolt and remove the sensor of speed of ABS.
  5. Take a pin, remove fixing cap and give a stupichny nut of a power shaft, having squeezed out a brake pedal.
  6. Disconnect a tip of steering draft from a rotary fist (see. Head Suspension bracket and steering).
  7. Disconnect the bottom spherical support from the bottom lever of a suspension bracket (see. Head Suspension bracket and steering).
  8. Accurately, trying not to damage a cover and a rotor of the sensor of speed of ABS, beat out a hammer with soft brisk a power shaft from a nave, delaying a nave outside.
  1. By means of the special adaptation remove a power shaft.

Do not damage a protective cover and a boot.

  1. Installation is made upside-down. Tighten fixture with demanded efforts. Pay attention to the next moments:
    • Grease with transmission oil interfaced surfaces of a shaft of the internal hinge of equal angular speeds (CV JOINT) and the differential case;
    • Before installation of a power shaft establish on it a sealing ring a gap down;
    • After installation of a power shaft make sure available its free wheeling of 2 ÷ 3 mm of the axial direction;
    • After installation of a power shaft make sure that it cannot be taken out a hand, without the special adaptation.
    • After installation check serviceability of functioning of ABS sensors, and also check and if necessary adjust corners of installation of forward wheels.

Dismantling

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Check power shafts:
    • They should not have excessively big люфта;
    • Make sure of smoothness of movement of internal CV JOINTS in the support direction;
    • Make sure of absence excessively big люфта internal CV JOINTS in the radial direction;
    • Check protective covers on existence of damages.
  2. By means of a screw-driver remove 2 collars of a protective cover of the internal CV JOINT and shift it to the external CV JOINT.
  1. Put adjusting labels on shaft of internal and external CV JOINTS.

Do not put a label with a chisel.

  1. Remove a screw-driver a lock ring and disconnect a shaft of the internal CV JOINT from a shaft of the external CV JOINT.
  1. Put labels on a shaft of the external CV JOINT and on both holders.
  1. Turn out 6 bolts and shift an external holder in the direction to the external CV JOINT.
  2. Remove a lock ring by means of a stripper and by means of a hammer and a pig from soft metal remove an internal holder, trying not to damage it.
  3. Remove an external holder.
  4. Remove a protective cover of the internal CV JOINT.
  5. By means of pincers or flat-nose pliers remove two collars of a protective cover of the external CV JOINT and then remove a cover.
  6. Remove a boot from a shaft of the internal CV JOINT: on left to a shaft – by means of a screw-driver and a hammer, and on right – by means of a special stripper, having clamped a shaft in a vice.
  7. By means of a stripper remove an external lock ring and a shaft of the internal CV JOINT.
  8. Fix a shaft of the external CV JOINT in a vice with soft sponges and by means of a screw-driver and a hammer remove from a shaft a boot No. 2, trying not to damage a rotor of the sensor of speed of ABS.

Assembly

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Napressuyte a new boot No. 2 on a shaft.
  1. Establish a new external lock ring on a shaft of the internal CV JOINT.
  2. Napressuyte on a shaft a new boot.
  3. Temporarily establish new covers of CV JOINTS with new collars.

Before installation of protective covers wind shlitsa of a shaft of the external CV JOINT with a vinyl tape to prevent their damage. Collars establish on covers before their installation.

  1. Establish on a shaft of the external CV JOINT an external holder.

The party with smaller diameter should be turned to the external CV JOINT.

  1. Level labels on an internal holder and on a shaft then it is accurate напрессуйте it on a shaft by means of a hammer and a pig from soft metal.
  2. Establish a new lock ring of the bearing.
  3. Level labels on external holders and establish an external holder on the internal. Establish 6 balls.
  4. Fill 115 ÷ 135 g of yellow greasing in a cover of the external CV JOINT and establish a cover on a shaft of the external CV JOINT.
  5. Fill 95 ÷ 115 g of gray greasing in a cover of the internal CV JOINT and establish a cover on a shaft of the internal CV JOINT.
  6. Combine labels on shaft of external and internal CV JOINTS and connect shaft.
  7. Establish a new lock ring and temporarily establish a cover on a shaft of the internal CV JOINT.
  1. Make sure that covers entered into grooves on shaft, and also in absence of deformation of covers at standard length of a power shaft.
  1. Fix covers on shaft new collars: a cover of the internal CV JOINT – by means of a screw-driver, and a cover of the external CV JOINT – by means of the special adaptation.
  1. Check gaps in locks of collars and if necessary adjust them.
  1. Check a power shaft.
