2. Hinges of the type are installed on parts of cars "double gimbal", that are beyond repair. In this case, the cardan shaft assembly is changed.
3. Clamp the shaft in a vise, mark the position of the hinge forks and remove the retaining rings.
Attention! Retaining rings of hinge bearings can be located in the outer or inner part of the needle bearing of the spider. In the first case, the ring is removed with pliers, in the second - by knocking it out of the groove in the bearing cup.
4. Press out the bearing cup. To do this, install the cross in a vise through the sleeve on one side and through the mandrel on the other. Squeeze the vise until the bearing cup is at the very edge of the fork.
5. Using a gas wrench or pliers, remove the bearing cup.
6. Rearrange the mandrel and sleeve and press out the opposite glass.
7. Clean the fork thoroughly.
8. Install the cross and insert the glass into the fork. Orient the cross so that the direction of the grease fitting matches the direction of the grease fitting at the opposite end of the shaft (if oilers are provided).
9. Insert the cross into the bearing, insert the opposite bearing. Carefully, without damaging the seals, press in the bearings, aligning them with the necks of the cross.
10. Install rings. If necessary, tap the fork hard enough to lock the rings in place. If the rings do not fit into the grooves, then disassemble the hinge and check the freedom of rotation of the bearings on the necks of the cross.
11. Install the shaft. Lubricate the crosses (if there are oilers).
