Loosening and tightening the threaded connection between the drive shaft and the wheel hub
Loosen the threaded connection between the drive shaft and the wheel hub. If the vehicle is on wheels, the bolt can be unscrewed a maximum of 90°, otherwise the wheel hub bearing may be damaged. Raise the vehicle so that the wheels hang freely. Press the brake pedal (Need help from a second mechanic). Unscrew the bolt -arrow-.
Tightening the drive shaft/wheel hub threaded connection. Replace bolt -arrow-. Before tightening the threaded connection, clean the CV joint threads with a tap. When tightening the drive shaft, the wheels must not touch the floor; otherwise the wheel bearing may be damaged. Press the brake pedal (Need help from a second mechanic). Tighten the bolt to a torque of 200 N'M. Place the car on the wheels. Tighten the bolt 180°.
Removing the drive shaft
Unscrew the bolts securing the drive shaft to the wheel hub. Remove the wheel. Unscrew the nut -1 - and remove the casing -2-.
Unscrew bolts -arrows- from flange shaft/gearbox. Remove the drive shaft.
Only on vehicles with a subframe shield: If there is not enough free space to remove the drive shaft, the following steps must be taken: Unscrew the bolts -arrows- and place the subframe shield -1- to the side.
Remove the brake bracket. hose and ABS wires from the wheel bearing housing. Unscrew bolt connection -1- and remove both suspension arms -2- upwards.
Flaring the splines in the hub bearing housing using a chisel, etc. not allowed! Rotate the hub bearing housing to the side while pulling the drive shaft pin out of the wheel hub. Remove the drive shaft.
Installation
Install in reverse order. The following must be taken into account: insert both pins of the upper control arms -2- into the wheel bearing housing and insert the bolt -1 -. When tightening, press the upper lever down as far as possible! Tighten bolt connection -1-. Install the wheel. Tighten the wheel. Tighten the bolts securing the drive shaft to the wheel hub.
A caulked tripod joint AAR 2600 i with an outer CV joint with a diameter of 88 mm. Coined tripoid joint AAR 3300 i with outer CV joint with a diameter of 100 mm
Drive shaft 1. Clamp. Replace each time when removed; 2. Protective case with adapter for Shar-Nir-Tripod. The boot should fit in the groove and along the perimeter of the hinge body. Before crimping the clamp clamp, lift the joint boot for a short time to equalize the pressure; 3. Clamp. Replace each time when removed; 4. Retaining ring. Replace each time removed. Before installation, install in the annular groove of the shaft (not visible when the hinge is assembled). Before installing the constant velocity joint, align the locking ring upwards in the center of the hole; 5. Outer CV joint. Replaceable only as an assembly. When mounting a hinge on a profiled shaft, the teeth of the profiled shaft must be coated with a thin layer of lubricant used for the hinge; 6. Bolt. 200 Nm + turn 180°. Replace each time removed. Before tightening the threaded connection, clean the CV joint threads with a tap. Follow the procedure when loosening and tightening the threaded connection of the drive shaft on the wheel hub; 7. Clamp. Replace each time when removed; 8. Boot of external CV joint. Check for cracks and abrasions. Before crimping the clamp clamp, lift the joint boot for a short time to equalize the pressure.; 9. Clamp. Replace each time when removed; 10. Drive shaft; 11. Retaining ring; 12. Tripoid joint sprocket. The chamfer -arrow- is directed towards the splines of the drive shaft. When installing a tripod joint sprocket on a profiled shaft, the teeth of the profiled shaft must be coated with a thin layer of lubricant used for the hinge; 13. Retaining ring. Replace each time removed. Install into the shaft groove; 14. Bolt; 15. Hinge element
Volumes and type of lubricant
When replacing the boot, re-lubricate the hinge. Use different types of lubricant for the outer and inner joints.
External hinge | Lubricant total volume | From this to the hinge | From this to Corrugated Case |
0 mm | [G] | [G] | [G] |
88 | 90 | 40 | 50 |
100 | 130 | 70 | 60 |
