Note. When installing, you will need new nuts for fastening the rear flange of the propeller shaft and bolts for fastening the drive shafts.
Withdrawal
1. Chock the front wheels. Raise the rear of the car and place it on stands (cm. "Lifting and placing the car on supports"). Remove both rear wheels. Drain the oil from the final drive if necessary (see paragraph 10).
2. Mark with a felt-tip pen the position of the cardan shaft relative to the final drive flange. Loosen the propshaft to final drive nuts and discard. When installing you will need new nuts.
3. Loosen the tightening and turn out the bolts securing the right drive shaft to the main gear. Secure the end of the drive shaft with wire.
Note. Do not allow the input shaft to hang under its own weight as this will damage the constant velocity joint. Discard the bolts as you will need new ones during installation.
4. Similarly, disconnect the left drive shaft from the final drive.
5. Turn away nuts/bolts and remove the thermal screen fixed on the left rack, under an input shaft of the main transfer.
6. Disconnect the speedometer wiring connector on the back of the final drive assembly (if it exists).
7. Turn away fastenings of the stabilizer of cross-section stability (see chapter 10).
8. Place a pallet truck with a piece of wood under the final drive, lift it up and support the final drive assembly
9. Make sure. that the main gear is securely supported, then remove the two bolts of the front support and one bolt of the rear support of the assembly (pic. 2.9, a, b).
10. Carefully lower the final drive assembly and roll it out from under the vehicle. Inspect the rubber mounts of the assembly and make sure they are not worn or damaged. Replace bearings if necessary.
Installation
11. Installation is made in sequence, return to removal. Pay attention to the following points.
- A) Raise the main gear and align the marks on the flanges of the input and propeller shafts made before removal.
- b) Tighten bolts of fastening of the main transfer the demanded moment.
- V) Install new driveshaft nuts and tighten to specified torque.
- G) Insert new drive shaft mounting bolts and tighten to specified torque.
- d) After the installation is completed, fill the oil in the main gear (see chapter 8).
