Installation
For vehicles with JH3 gearbox
Install the drive shaft 4, Figure 12-3, of the left front wheel into the tripod joint of the 3rd gearbox.
Install the outer joint tailpiece of the left front wheel drive into the wheel hub.
Install three bolts 1 securing the holder of the protective cover 2 of the inner joint of the left front wheel drive to the gearbox 3. Tightening torque of the bolts securing the holder of the protective cover of the inner joint of the left front wheel drive 25 N·m (2.5 kgf·m) (replaceable head 13, extension, ratchet, torque wrench).
For vehicles with JR5 gearbox
Check the condition of the left differential seal seat in the gearbox housing.
(Material was taken from the website: ladaman)
Install a new left gearbox differential seal.
Remove the retaining ring 1, Figure 12-5, from the groove of the inner joint shaft 2 of the front wheel drive and install a new ring. Reuse of the retaining ring is not permitted (flat head screwdriver).
Figure 12-5 - Installing the left front wheel drive on a vehicle with a JR5 transmission: 1 - retaining ring; 2 - inner joint of the left front wheel drive; 3 - left front wheel drive shaft
Install the splined part of the inner joint 2 of the left front wheel drive into the splines of the differential axle gear as coaxially as possible so as not to damage the seal.
Make sure that the drive is fixed in the axle shaft gear using your hands, applying a load to the inner joint towards the steering knuckle.
Install the splined tail of the outer joint of the left front wheel drive into the wheel hub.
Operations for all vehicle configurations
Install the left steering knuckle onto the front suspension strut.
Install two bolts securing the steering knuckle to the front suspension strut and tighten nuts 4, Figure 12-1, of the securing bolts. Tightening torque of the steering knuckle mounting bolts nuts 105 Nm (10.5 kgf·m) (spanner 18, replaceable head 18, ratchet, torque wrench).
Attention! After removal, bolts 1, Figure 12-2, securing the guide to the steering knuckle must be replaced, since the bolts are fixed with an adhesive compound applied to the threaded surface of the bolts. Reuse of bolts is not permitted.
Install the left guide 2 of the front brake on the steering knuckle and secure it with new mounting bolts. First apply "HIGH-STRENGTH LOCKING COMPOUND" to the threaded surface of the bolts in the amount of 1 g per bolt. Tightening torque of bolts 105 Nm (10.5 kgf·m) (replaceable head 18, extension, ratchet, torque wrench, "HIGH-STRENGTH LOCKING COMPOSITION" 77 11 230 112).
Install the ball joint pin of the left steering rod end into the steering knuckle arm and tighten nut 2, Figure 12-1, of the fastening. Tightening torque of the nut for fastening the ball joint pin of the steering rod end 37 N·m (3.7 kgf·m) (replaceable head 16, ratchet, torque wrench).
Place a stop on the front wheel hub and secure it with two wheel bolts (stop Rou. 604-01, replaceable head 17, ratchet).
Install a new 3 wheel hub nut. Wheel hub nut tightening torque 280 Nm (28.0 kgf·m) (replaceable head 32, ratchet, torque wrench).
Loosen the two wheel bolts and remove the stop from the front wheel hub (stop Rou. 604-01, replaceable head 17, ratchet).
