1. Boot clamps on the rear final drive side.
2. Outer ring.
3. Retaining ring.
4. Tripod Hinge.
5. Boot from the side of the rear final drive.
6. Boot clamps on the wheel side.
7. Boot from the side of the wheel.
8. Shaft with ball joint.
Note:
: replace the part with a new one after each removal.
: use a special tool or attachments.
: apply lubricant.
1. Use pliers to pry off the boot clamp, as shown in the figure, and remove the boot.
2. Mark the relative position of the outer ring and the shaft for correct assembly later.
3. Remove the outer ring from the shaft.
4. Put alignment marks on the shaft and hinge of the Tripod.
5. Remove the circlip using special pliers.
6. Remove the Tripod hinge from the shaft.
Attention. Do not attempt to knock the Tripod hinge off the shaft with a hammer. This can damage the Tripod hinge.
Note: Remove the boot from the wheel side only in the event of a malfunction.
7. Wrap the splines of the shaft with electrical tape.
8. Remove the clamps and remove the boot from the side of the wheel from the shaft.
Note: The small diameter dust collar can only be removed if it is damaged.
9. Remove the small diameter anther clamp using special pliers.
Note: The driveshaft boot on the wheel side and the gearbox side are different. Be careful not to mix up the anthers during installation.
10. Lay grease inside the new boot from the wheel side.
Note: Do not touch grease with hands. Apply grease through a grease gun to prevent foreign material from entering the boot. Amount of lubricant: 40-60 g.
11. After making sure that the splines of the shaft are still wrapped with electrical tape, install the boot on the drive shaft.
12. Remove tape from shaft splines.
13. Adjust gap A to 2.9 mm by turning the adjusting screw of the special crimping tool.
14. Compress the small collar of the anther from the side of the wheel using a special tool. Make sure gap B is correct (2.4-2.8mm). If gap B exceeds the allowable range, reduce gap A on the crimping tool and crimp the clamp again. If gap B is less than normal, replace the boot collar with a new one, increase gap A on the crimping tool, and crimp the new collar.
15. Make sure the boot collar does not protrude beyond the boot mounting areas. If the clamp is not in the correct position, replace the boot clamp with a new one by repeating the above steps.
16. Adjust gap C to 3.2 mm by turning the adjusting screw of the special crimping tool.
17. Compress the large collar of the anther from the side of the wheel using a special tool. Make sure clearance D is correct (2.4-2.8mm). If gap D exceeds the allowable range, reduce gap C on the crimping tool and crimp the clamp again. If gap D is less than normal, replace the boot collar with a new one, increase gap C on the crimping tool and crimp the new collar.
18. Make sure that the boot collar does not protrude beyond the boot mounting areas. If the clamp is not in the correct position, replace the boot clamp with a new one by repeating the above steps.
19. Aligning the alignment marks on the shaft and hinge, install the Tripod hinge on the shaft using a hammer and a suitable rod.
20. Insert a new circlip using special pliers.
21. Make sure the circlip is properly seated in the shaft groove.
22. Lay in the outer ring with anther (from the main gear) the necessary lubricant.
Note: Do not touch grease with hands. Apply grease through a grease gun to prevent foreign material from entering the boot. Amount of lubricant: 70-90 g.
23. Install the outer ring on the shaft.
24. Adjust the length of the drive shaft to the standard value (see section "Service Data" at the beginning of the chapter).
25. Release all air from the anthers by carefully prying up the small diameter edges of each anther with a flat screwdriver wrapped in cloth.
Note:
- Check that there are no grease leaks due to damaged boots.
- If the boot is damaged, it may not be possible to adjust the length of the drive shaft.
26. Bend the clamp in the direction opposite to the rotation of the shaft when the car moves forward, and use pliers to tighten it.
