Service idler arm tie rod
Models utilities (Van) (Utility) and Mini truck (Cab Chassis) Refitting  | To perform the work described below require the following special tools: sensing a torque wrench (for measurement of the initial moment of turning the idler arm); special stripper bipod steering (for removal of the idler arm). |
Withdrawal | - Poddomkratte the front of the car and establish it on props.
- Remove the pins, then give the crown nuts for assembly and idler arm longitudinal tie rods.
- If a stripper were not available, release the ball fingers idler arm assembly using the alternative method of using two hammers.
- Give bolts assembly idler arm tie rod to the chassis and remove the assembly from the vehicle.
|
|
Setting Installation is in the reverse order. | - Tighten the assembly with a force of 45 ÷ 55 Nm.
- Rated force tightening castellated nuts is 88 ÷ 113 Nm.
- Cotter pins must be replaced without fail.
- In conclusion, using a grease gun lubricate the idler arm assembly lubricant required grades.
|
|
Dismantling | - Remove the idler arm assembly tie rod from the car.
- Firmly hold the assembly in a vice with soft sponges. Remove the cotter pin and take the retaining nut (assembly components are shown in the accompanying illustration). With the help of a stripper remove the bipod steering idler arm with its axis.
- Give cover bolts idler arm to the housing.
- Remove spring with her dish, discard the gasket.
- Remove the axle from the housing and remove the top plug.
- With a suitable punch and hammer, carefully knock out the oil seal from the lower end of the housing, then remove the bottom plug.

|
Cleaning and checking the status of components | - Rinse all components of the assembly in a suitable solvent, then thoroughly dry them.
- Inspect the cover assembly for cracks and other damage.
- Check the status of the axis of the casing and sleeves. In case of signs of wear or damage, replace defective components.
- Check the condition (wear and loosening compression force) of the spring.
- Inspect the arm for cracks and other damage.

|
Assembly Installation is the reverse order of removal. | - Set the cover idler arm sleeve.
- Lubricate a new oil seal on the outside suitable sealant, then plant it with the bottom of the mandrel into the housing. Lubricate the oil seal lips multi-purpose grease.
- Grease with universal greasing the contact surfaces of the casing and the axis of the sleeves, and then insert the axle housing
- Set the plate and spring. Make sure the tabs of the spring plate properly settled in the housing.
- Install the idler arm housing cover with a new gasket, tighten the fixing bolts.
- Put the lever on the axle, tighten the fixing nut and lock it with a locking pin.
- Measure the starting torque of the idler arm rotation:
- Grasp the lever and move it back and forth in a range of approximately 90 ?� for the distribution of lubricant.
- Put the nut on the axis of the arm replaceable face head.
- Connect the sensor head and a torque wrench, applying a force to the collar key, consider the amount of torque when the pushing arm off. The nominal value of 4.9 Nm.
- If the result does not correspond to the desired value, the lever must be disassembled and eliminate the cause of biting.
