Caution: After removing the drive shafts, the vehicle must not be moved, since the lack of longitudinal compression force may damage the hub bearings. If it becomes necessary to move the vehicle, install bolts with thrust washers in place of the removed shafts and compress the bearings with them.
Removal
Loosen the wheel nuts on a vehicle parked on the ground.
Mark the position of the wheel disk relative to the hub with paint. In this way, the balanced wheel can be installed in its original place.
Raise the front of the car.
Remove the wheels.
Straighten and remove the cotter pin with pliers. Remove the crown head from the nut.
Release the drive axle nut, putting the car on the handbrake. The force required to unscrew the nut is high! When unscrewing, hold the wrench horizontally to prevent the car from slipping off the supports.
Remove the lower engine compartment cover and drain gearbox oil.
Engine with a capacity of 116/121 hp, diesel and cars up to 4/87 year of production: Loosen the 6 drive mounting nuts, holding the brake pedal with the help of an assistant.
Remove the caliper and hang it on a wire from the body.
Remove the brake disc. First mark the relative positions of the brake disc and the wheel hub to enable the brake disc to be installed in its previous position.
Remove the tip head from the steering knuckle.
Remove the ball joint from the wishbone, see Fig. G3001 earlier.
Use a puller or plastic hammer to remove the drive from the wheel hub.
116/121 hp engine, diesel and vehicles up to 4/87: Remove the drive shaft.
Cars of other models:
Left drive shaft. Insert a pry bar between the joint and the gearbox housing. Tilt the pry bar, pushing the joint out.
Right drive shaft. Knock out with a brass rod. Do not pull on the drive!
116/121 hp engine, diesel and vehicles up to 4/87: If it is necessary to remove the drive shaft, first measure the distance between the gearbox housing and the flange with a feeler gauge, pressing the flange towards the gearbox housing. Record the measured value. Screw an impact puller to the flange and knock out the drive shaft.
Installation
Before assembling the drive, check the sealing cuff.
Remove the worn-out cuff. If necessary, you can drill a hole in it and screw a screw into it, then remove the screw together with the cuff. If the cuff is damaged or worn, it is necessary to check for damage in the bearing, replace it if necessary.
Lubricate the new seal as shown in Fig. F/14/9 and install it in place using a piece of pipe.
Clean and lightly lubricate the drive shaft joint and threads.
Insert the drive shaft by hand into the wheel groove. Install the washer, screw on the nut and use it to connect the wheel hub to the drive shaft.
Engine with a capacity of 116/121 hp, diesel and cars up to 4/87 of production:
Carefully insert the drive shaft, if it was removed, using a rubber hammer until the locking ring is fixed. Always install a new locking collar. The drive shaft cannot be removed again. Its play of 2-3 mm is allowed. Press the flange to the gearbox housing and measure the distance. It should be the same value as before disassembly.
Align the drive with the guide pins and tighten the 6 drive shaft bolts by hand.
Cars of other models:
Insert the drive shaft with a new snap ring (arrow in Fig. A) into the splined joint of the bevel gear, using a hammer and brass rod. Fix the drive. Move the shaft back and forth along the axis to check the reliability of the fixation. The play should be 2-3 mm. The shaft should not be removed manually.
Fasten to the suspension arm ball joint.
Install tie rod end on the shock absorber strut.
Install the brake disc according to the marking on the wheel hub.
Install the brake caliper.
Tighten the wheel drive mounting nut to 190 Nm while applying the foot brake with the help of an assistant. Make sure that the vehicle does not slip off the supports.
Place the crown head on the nut. Insert a new cotter pin and spread its ends apart.
Engine with a capacity of 116/121 hp, diesel and cars up to 4/87 year of production: Secure the drive with 6 bolts with a force of 35 Nm on the drive shaft, pressing the foot brake.
Fill the gearbox with oil.
Install the lower engine compartment cover.
Secure the wheel with nuts, observing the markings made when removing the wheel.
