Removal
1. Prepare the car for work ("Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the front wheel ("Wheel - replacement").
3. Using a 13 mm open-end wrench, loosen the tightening bolt of the outer tie rod end.
4. Using pliers, straighten and remove the cotter pin from the ball joint hole
5. Using a 19 mm open-end wrench, unscrew the crown nut of the pin.
6. Using a puller, press the pin out of the hole in the front suspension strut pivot arm.
7. Rotate the outer tip to unscrew it from the adjusting sleeve.
Recommendation. If you need to maintain the wheel alignment, count the number of turns made. For greater accuracy, you can measure the length of the steering rod (see below, "Steering rod - removal and installation").
Installation
1. Cover the threaded part of the adjusting insert with plastic grease.
2. Screw the new tip onto the adjusting insert.
Recommendation. To maintain the wheel alignment angle, screw the new tip onto the adjusting insert with the same number of turns that were made when unscrewing the old tip.
3. Insert the pin into the hole of the strut pivot arm and tighten the crown nut.
4. Tighten the nut to a torque of 27.1-33.4 N·m (2.8-3.4 kgf·m) and align the hole in the pin with the nearest slot in the nut.
5. We cotter the nut and spread the ends of the cotter pin in different directions.
6. Tighten the tie rod end clamp bolt to a torque of 19.1-30.9 N·m (2.0-3.1 kgf·m).
Warning! After replacing the tip, wheel alignment must be adjusted at a service station.
