Unscrew the inner CV joint from the main reverse gear flange.
Pic. 11–11. Elements for fastening the drive shaft and steering knuckle: 1 – a bolt of fastening of a drive shaft to a leading flange of the main reverse gear; 2 – a nut of fastening of an earring; 3 - nut for fastening the lower arm, 80 Nm + tighten by an angle of 90°; 4 - control rod (up to 1996 - 95 Nm, since 1997 - 70 Nm + tighten by 90°); 5 – a bolt of fastening of a shaft of a drive to a nave; 6 – lower arm fastening bolt, 80 Nm + tighten by 90°
Unscrew fastening nut 2 (pic. 11–11) stabilizer link and remove the link from the steering knuckle.
Unscrew the bolts 6 and the nut 3 of the lower mounting of the steering knuckle.

Under no circumstances should the vehicle be lowered onto the wheels with two or one of the drive shafts removed, as this will damage the wheel bearings. If it is necessary to install the car on wheels and move it with the drive shafts removed, install an external CV joint instead of the shaft and tighten its fastening bolt to 50 Nm.
Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
When installing, it is necessary to use new self-locking nuts and a bolt for fastening the outer CV joint to the hub.
Attach the drive shaft to the drive flange of the main reverse gear and tighten the bolts to 77 Nm.
