Removal

Fastening of an intermediate shaft of a steering column to приводной to a gear wheel реечной transfers

1 — the Nut of a coupling bolt 2 — the Coupling bolt 3 — the Fixing collar (to unclench in the directions specified by arrows)

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. On the models equipped with system of hydrostrengthening of a wheel, dump pressure in hydraulic system (the Uniform hydraulic system see the Head), then turn a steering wheel from an emphasis against the stop on purpose опорожнения the executive cylinder of a hydrodrive. 2. Prop up противооткатными boots back wheels, then поддомкратьте redock of the car and establish it on props. Remove forward wheels. 3. Make sure that naves of forward wheels are developed in rectilinear position. 4. On models with a manual drive of the steering mechanism disunite spherical hinges of fastening of three draughts of a drive of a gear change. 5. On the models equipped with system of hydrostrengthening of a wheel, release штуцерные sockets and disconnect from картера реечной transfers hydraulic tubes. At once закупорьте the open ends of tubes and reception unions of the steering mechanism for the purpose of hit prevention in dirt system. 6. From one of car boards ослабьте and partially turn away a nut of a spherical finger of the hinge of fastening of steering draught on ступичной to assemblage. By means of a divider of spherical support liberate a finger from the reception nest, then definitively turn away a nut. 7. Repeat procedure of division of the spherical hinge for the second steering draught from an opposite board of the car. 8. Remove thermofilters from assemblage of the steering mechanism. 9. Under the car give a nut of a coupling bolt of fastening of an intermediate shaft of a steering column to приводной to a gear wheel реечной transfers (Fastening of an intermediate shaft of a steering column to приводной to a gear wheel реечной transfers see an illustration). At a corresponding complete set shift aside a fixing collar and disconnect a shaft from a gear wheel. 10. Turn out two bolts of fastening картера реечной transfers to a stretcher. Remove the remote plugs/washers established between a stretcher and support of the steering mechanism (try to remember their landing position) (see an illustration — the support of the mechanism with a manual drive is shown). 11.

Check up moving freedom рейке in all range of its course: рейка should move without jerks and excessive люфта). Major repairs реечной demand transfer from the executor of high qualification and its performance should be entrusted to experts of car-care centre. The unique components which replacement can be made forces of the mechanic-fan, tips of steering draughts (Removal and installation of tips of steering draughts see) are. 2. On the models equipped with system of hydrostrengthening of a wheel, examine all штуцерные sockets of hydraulic tubes on presence of traces of leaks. Make sure of reliability of a tightening накидных штуцерных nuts. Also examine on presence of signs of development of leaks the executive cylinder of the steering amplifier. In case of need replace the failed components.
