1 – distance = 268,0 – 270,0 mm;

2 – external hinge of equal angular speeds

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. In the presence take off a cap from a wheel, then weaken bolts of fastening of a forward wheel. Tighten the emergency brake, lift a forward part of the car and record on supports. Remove a forward wheel.

2. Take the forelock of fixing of a nut of fastening of a power shaft to a nave.

3. Weaken a nut of fastening of a power shaft to a nave for what record a nave from a provorachivaniye, having screwed in in it two bolts of fastening of a wheel and having inserted a steel core between bolts. Unscrew a nut and remove a washer from a power shaft (see rice. Unscrewing of a nut of fastening of a power shaft to a nave).

4. Take the forelock, then unscrew a koronchaty nut of fastening of a pin of the spherical hinge of the lower lever to a rotary fist (see rice. Arrangement of the forelock of fixing of a nut of fastening of the spherical hinge, Removal of a koronchaty nut of the spherical hinge).

5. Using a stripper of spherical hinges, take a pin of the spherical hinge of the lower lever from a rotary fist (see rice. Use of a stripper for extraction of a pin of the spherical hinge from a rotary fist).

6. For extraction of the internal hinge of a power shaft from the transmission it is necessary to use mount. For extraction of the right power shaft it is necessary to use mount with a slanted end face, and for extraction of the left shaft – with the rectangular end (see rice. Use of mount with the direct end for extraction of the left power shaft from the transmission on models of 2,0 l).

7. Take a power shaft from the transmission. For this purpose insert mount between the internal CV JOINT and a case of the transmission and when the assistant pulls a wheel nave outside strong sharp blow to the end of mount beat out a power shaft from gearing in a semi-axial gear wheel of differential. Using a soft wire, tie up the internal end of a power shaft to a car body (see rice. Extraction of the left power shaft from differential).

8. Together the taken power shaft insert plastic or wooden caps into the transmission.

9. Take the external end of a power shaft from a nave. If the power shaft densely sits in a nave, temporarily screw a nut of a nave and, using the hammer, beat out a power shaft from a nave (see rice. Extraction of a power shaft from a nave).

10. It is impossible to lower the car on wheels at all with the removed by two or one power shafts as it will lead to damage of bearings of a wheel.

11. On some models the quencher of fluctuations on the right power shaft is established. If the quencher of fluctuations of an ustanavla is howled on a new power shaft, it needs to be established on the same place or according to rice. Measurement of distance to a quencher of fluctuations.
