You will need: keys «at 14» (two) And «at 32», wrench for wheel nuts, mounting blade, hammer.
1. Loosen the wheel nuts, then raise the front of the vehicle and place it on jack stands. Remove the relevant wheel.
2. Loosen the front wheel hub nut.
3. Remove the hub nut...
4.... and remove the thrust washer located under it.
5. Remove the brake hose from the shock strut bracket.
6. Remove the wheel speed sensor
7. Disconnect the outer tie rod end from the swing arm (see «Replacing the outer tie rod end»).
8. Turn away a nut of a coupling bolt of a terminal connection of a rotary fist with a spherical support, take a bolt and remove a pin of a spherical support from a rotary fist (see «Front suspension ball joint replacement»).
9. Slightly move the telescopic strut to the side, remove the shank of the outer constant velocity joint from the hub and tie it with a wire to the shock absorber.
Helpful Hint: If you cannot remove the pivot shank by hand, knock it out of the hub with light hammer blows through the wooden spacer.
10. Having rested the mounting blade on the gearbox housing through a wooden spacer, press the drive inner hinge out of the axle shaft gear...
11.... and remove the front wheel drive assembly.
Warning: Replace the inner joint shank retaining ring with a new ring each time the actuator is removed from the vehicle, otherwise the actuators may spontaneously disengage from the transmission while driving.
12. The second drive is removed in the same way.
13. To install the drive shaft, insert the splined shank of the internal joint housing into the axle shaft seal and rotate the drive shaft slightly so that the splines of the joint shank and the axle gear are aligned.
14. To install the drive, insert the splined shank of the outer joint housing into the wheel hub, install the thrust washer and screw the hub nut until it stops without completely tightening it.
15. Pull down the front suspension arm and with a sharp movement of the shock absorber strut with a steering knuckle, press the drive into the axle shaft gear until the drive is fixed with the retaining ring.
16. Attach the ball bearings to the steering knuckles, and the steering rod joints to the steering knuckle levers.
17. Reinstall the brake hoses and wheel speed sensors.
Warning: When installing the sensor, align the hole in the sensor body with the threaded hole in the knuckle exactly. During installation, do not rotate the sensor around the longitudinal axis.
An increase in the resistance of the sensor movement should be felt only the last 2 mm before it is fully seated in the fist. If the sensor with high resistance enters the knuckle hole from the very beginning of the installation, remove the sensor and eliminate the cause of the jam (dirt, burr on the body, etc.) It is strictly forbidden to press in the rear wheel speed sensor with a hammer.
18. Install the wheels and tighten the wheel nuts until they stop, without completely tightening them.
19. Establish the car on wheels, having removed from support.
20. Final tighten the wheel nuts.
21. Finally tighten the hub nut.
Note: The hub nut is tightened in three stages:
- 1st - tighten with a torque of 150 Nm;
- 2nd - loosen by 45°;
- 3rd - re-tighten to 250 Nm.
