Instructions
Step 1
Remove engine protection if you have one. To do this, on the left and right sides of the engine protection with a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two self-tapping screws that secure the protection to the mudguards of the engine compartment. Then, using the “10” head, unscrew the two bolts of the rear mounting of the engine protection. Now, holding the protection, turn off the five nuts of the front fastening of the engine protection with the head on "10" and remove it.
Step 2
Clean the transmission housing around the drain hole. Place a container with a volume of at least 3.5 liters under the drain hole. Unscrew the drain plug with a spanner wrench or head on "17" and drain the oil into a substituted container. Screw the plug back on.
Step 3
Loosen the fastening bolts of the wheel to be removed using a standard wheel wrench or a “17” head wrench. Jack up the vehicle. Unscrew the wheel bolts and remove the wheel.
Step 4
Pry off with a slotted screwdriver, remove the protective cap of the hub. Install the wheel and tighten the two bolts to secure it. Lower the vehicle onto its wheels.
Step 5
Use a beard to straighten the dented shoulder of the hub bearing nut in two places. Apply the parking brake, engage first gear and place anti-roll devices under the wheels.
Step 6
Using the “30” head, loosen the nut of the hub bearing. Hang up the front of the vehicle and place it on supports. Remove the wheel. Unscrew the hub bearing nut completely and remove the washer.
Step 7
Using a spanner wrench on "17", unscrew the two bolts securing the ball joint to the steering knuckle. Turn the steering wheel in the direction opposite to the drive being removed (if you remove the right drive, turn the steering wheel to the extreme left position; if you remove the left drive, to the extreme right).
Step 8
Move the steering knuckle with the strut to the side and remove the shank of the outer CV joint housing from the hub. Stretch the drive.
Step 9
Using a spudger, push the inner CV joint body out of the gearbox and remove the inner CV joint, taking care not to damage the drive oil seal.
Step 10
If you need to change the boot of the outer CV joint, squeeze the large clamp with sliding pliers and pry the end of the clamp with a slotted screwdriver. Disconnect and remove the clamp. Disconnect the small clamp in the same way and remove it.
Step 11
Slide the boot off the outer CV joint housing and turn it inside out. Remove the grease from the end of the joint with a rag.
Step 12
By striking the end of the hinge yoke through a soft metal drift, knock the hinge off the drive. Pry the retaining ring with a screwdriver and remove it. Then remove the CV joint boot. Install a new boot and assemble the drive in reverse order.
Step 13
If you need to change the boot of the inner CV joint, use the sliding pliers to squeeze the large clamp by the protrusions and, prying the end of the clamp with a slotted screwdriver, disconnect the clamp and remove it. Remove the small clamp in the same way.
Step 14
Slide the boot away from the CV joint housing. Remove the grease from the end of the hinge housing with a rag. Use a file to mark the relative position of the body, the cage and the hinge separator so that they will take the same places during assembly.
Step 15
Use a slotted screwdriver to pry the hinge retainer and remove it. Slide the pivot housing over the drive shaft and remove it. Striking the end of the hinge holder through a soft metal drift, remove the holder with a separator and balls.
Step 16
Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the retaining ring from the drive shaft groove. Remove the CV joint boot from the drive shaft. Install a new boot and assemble the drive in reverse order.
