2. Give bolts and nuts.
Bolts of fastening of the cardan shaft to the flange of the output shaft of the transmission
Nuts of fastening of differential to a flange of an output shaft of transmission
When installing, use new self-locking nuts; tighten threaded connections with nuts, not bolts.
3. Insert a screwdriver into the CV joint groove, wring out and disconnect the hinge from the output shaft flange.
4. Remove the intermediate support.
The intermediate support should be installed with a preload in the direction of the vehicle by the size (A) 2 ÷ 4 mm.
Do not allow the cardan shaft to fall, as otherwise, damage to the hinges and the rubber cuff of the CV joint is possible.
5. Press down on the intermediate support so that the cardan shaft bends down. Disconnect the CV joint from the rear axle reduction gear and remove the propeller shaft from the transmission output shaft flange.
To avoid contamination of the CV joint, it should be covered.
6. If necessary, give fasteners and remove the flexible coupling.
When installing the coupling, the arrows on its body must point to the cheek of the flange.
7. Replenish the hinge lubricant. Extend CV joint (1 to the stop and degrease the mating surfaces of the CV joint and the flange of the final drive pinion. Replace gasket (2). Push the propeller shaft with the CV joint extended onto the flange of the final drive gear. Alternately tightening any two opposing nuts, drive the CV joint evenly into the final drive gear flange. Then tighten the rest of the nuts.
Use new nuts. It is not allowed to push the CV joint back during assembly, because the lubricant can squeeze out the sealing ring and break the tightness of the hinge.
8. Check and lubricate the centering element (4), replace the damaged centering element.
