Withdrawal
Using the blade of a screwdriver as a lever, remove the cap from the center of the wheel rim.
With the vehicle on wheels, loosen the driveshaft outer pivot bolts to the front wheel hubs.
Raise the front of the car and secure it on stands. Remove the front wheels.
Pic. 10–2. The location of the bolts for fastening the heat shield and the drive shaft
Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the heat shields of the right and left drive shafts (pic. 10–2).
Unscrew the bolts and disconnect the internal hinges of the drive shafts from the gearbox (see fig. 10–2). Using a soft wire, hang the drive shafts from the body.
Pic. 10–3. ABS sensor wire clamp location
Remove the ABS sensor wire from the front brake caliper clamp (pic. 10–3).
Remove the ABS sensor from the steering knuckle.
Pic. 10–4. Elements of the upper fastening of the steering knuckle: 1 - nut and bolt for fastening the ball joints of the upper arms of the front suspension; 2 - ball joints of the upper arms of the front suspension; 3 – a bolt of fastening of a tip of steering draft; 4 - a bolt with a square head.
Unscrew the nut, remove the bolt securing the ball joints of the upper arms of the front suspension to the steering knuckle (pic. 10–4) and remove the ball joints from the steering knuckle. Do not expand the grooves in the steering knuckle when removing the upper transverse arms.
Do not unscrew the tie rod end bolt and the square head bolt, otherwise the front wheel alignment will be disturbed.
Completely unscrew the bolt securing the drive shaft to the front wheel hub.
Tilt the upper part of the steering knuckle aside, remove the drive shaft from the front wheel hub and remove the drive shaft from the vehicle.
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 shafts removed, install its external hinge instead of the drive shaft and tighten the hinge fastening bolt to a torque of 50 Nm.
Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
In case of failure, the outer CV joint must be replaced. When installing on the drive shaft, press the CV joint with a plastic hammer until it is fixed with a retaining ring.
When installing, you must use new self-locking nuts and a bolt securing the outer drive shaft joint to the hub, as well as new clamps and o-rings supplied with the repair kit.
Install the drive shaft into the front wheel hub and screw it to the transmission drive flange, tightening the M8 bolts to 40 Nm, and the M10 bolts to 70 Nm.
Install the upper transverse arms against the stop in the steering knuckle and secure them with a bolt and nut, tightening with a torque of 40 Nm (see fig. 10–4).
Set to rounded fist ABS sensor.
Apply a thin layer of grease to the shoulder of the hub that centers the wheel disc. Install the wheel and secure it with bolts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel bolts to the specified torque.
Screw in and tighten the new bolts for fastening the outer hinges of the drive shafts to the front wheel hubs to a torque of 190 Nm, and then further tighten them by an angle of 180°. Bolts of fastening of shafts of a drive to naves of forward wheels tighten only on the car standing on wheels.
