Unscrew the drain plug in the gearbox housing and drain the oil (1/2 inch internal square key, technological container).

Operations for all vehicle configurations

Place a stop on the hub of the right front wheel and secure it with two wheel bolts (stop Rou. 604-01, replaceable head 17, ratchet).

Unscrew nut 3 securing the hub of the right front wheel, remove the nut, remove the stop. The front wheel hub mounting nut needs to be replaced (replacement head 30, Replacement head 17, Ratchet).

Loosen nut 2 securing the ball joint pin of the outer end of the steering rod and press the pin out of the steering knuckle lever using the Tav. 476 tool (replacement head 16, ratchet, Tav. 476 device).

Loosen and remove the bolts securing the front right brake guide to the steering knuckle (replacement head 18, extension, ratchet).

Remove and hang the front brake guide assembly with brake pads and caliper to the front suspension spring to avoid putting stress on the brake hose (technological hook).

Unscrew the two nuts of the bolts 4 securing the right steering knuckle to the front suspension strut and remove the bolts (spanner 18, replaceable head 18, ratchet).

If necessary, press out the splined tailpiece of the outer joint of the right front wheel drive from the hub using tools (tav. 1420-01 and Tav. 1050-04 devices).

Tilt the steering knuckle and remove the splined tailpiece of the outer joint of the right front wheel drive from the hub.

Secure the steering knuckle to the front suspension strut with a bolt.

For vehicles with JH3 gearbox

Disconnect the inner joint 1, Figure 12-7, of the right front wheel drive from the 2 gearbox.

Figure 12-7 - Removing the right front wheel drive: 1 - inner joint of the right front wheel drive; 2 - right front wheel drive shaft; 3 - gearbox

Remove the inner joint of the right front wheel drive from the gearbox half-axle pinion using tool 67.7801-9524 (wheel drive removal tool 67.7801-9524).

Remove the right gearbox differential seal.

Check the condition of the seat of the right differential seal in the gearbox housing.

Installation

Install a new right gearbox differential seal.

Remove the retaining ring from the groove of the front wheel drive inner joint shaft and install a new ring. Reuse of the retaining ring is not permitted (flat head screwdriver).

Operations for all vehicle configurations

Install the splined part of the inner joint 1, Figure 12-7, of the right front wheel drive into the splines of the differential axle gear.

Install the splined tail of the outer joint of the right front wheel drive into the wheel hub.

Install the right steering knuckle onto the front suspension strut.

Install two bolts 4, Figure 12-6, securing the steering knuckle to the front suspension strut and tighten the nuts of the mounting 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, the bolts securing the guide to the steering knuckle must be replaced, as the bolts are fixed with an adhesive compound applied to the threaded surface of the bolts. Reuse of bolts is not permitted.

Install the right front brake guide onto 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 right steering rod end into the steering knuckle arm and tighten the fastening nut 2. 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).

Connect and secure the right front wheel speed sensor 1 (if available).

For vehicles with JR5 gearbox

Install a new transmission drain plug gasket.

Install the drain plug into the gearbox housing and tighten to 22 N·m (2.2 kgf·m) (1/2 inch internal square wrench, torque wrench).

Unscrew the filler plug, pour oil into the gearbox and screw the plug back on. The oil level should be up to the lower edge of the filler hole (filling unit for transmission oils of type C-223-1, transmission oil according to the current "Codifier of main and auxiliary materials used in maintenance and repair of LADA vehicles" K 3100.25100.00018, oil consumption rate for gearbox JR5 - 2.5 l).
