Replacing the constant velocity joints
If when driving in bends heard a knock at the front drive, check the constant velocity joints. When shaking his hand felt the backlash of the drive shaft or torn protective covers, a joint must be replaced. Disassemble the hinge almost does not make sense. This work is time-consuming, and when torn cover dirt gets into the hinge parts of the hinge has already resulted in disrepair. Replace the hinge parts separately can not, therefore, the best solution - replace the hinge assembly. In an extreme case, it is allowed to replace the grease demolition of the internal hinge to be less susceptible to the ingress of water and road dirt. The appearance of grease on the hinge points to the fact that the cover is torn. You will need: a flat-blade screwdriver, pliers, snap ring pliers, barbs, hammer. 2. Clean the parts and check the drive: |
- Protective covers external and internal hinges should not have cracks and breaks. Replace damaged covers; - An outer constant-velocity joint must be rotated with slight force without jerks and jamming, radial and axial play. When present, replace the hinge; - The internal hinge should move in angular and axial directions with a slight effort, without jerks should be felt, jams and radial play. Otherwise, replace the internal hinge; - Wheel drive shaft must not be deformed. Replace warped shaft. | | 3. Disconnect locking pliers clamp fastening of a cover of the external hinge ... | 4. ... and remove the clamp. |
NOTE Clamps for mounting of protective covers of hinges of equal angular velocities of one-time use, the assembly replace them with new ones. Typically, the clamps are supplied new hinge. |
| | 5. Similarly, remove the cover of the second clamp. | 6. Slide the protective cover ... |
NOTE When assembling a protective cover replaced. Typically pouch included new hinge. |
| | 7. ... picked up a screwdriver, remove the retaining ring out of the cage shaft ... | 8. ... and remove the case of the external hinge. |
| 9. Remove the retaining ring, threw him out of the bore of the shaft with a screwdriver and remove the clip from the shaft splines the internal hinge with rollers, remove the protective cover. |
NOTE When assembling replace retaining ring new. Typically, the ring supplied new hinge. |
10. Similarly, disassemble the internal hinge. |
11. Wash all metal parts with kerosene to completely remove the old grease. |
12. Before assembly fill joints lubricated. |
13. Fill in the cover of the internal hinge special grease for constant velocity joints of 35 g, the outer cover of the hinge - in the amount of '60 |
14. Check the fit belts cover and tightened clamps. Cover should not be turned on a hinge, and hose clamps - on the cover. Otherwise, replace the clamps. |
15. Install the parts in reverse order of removal. |
