Removal
Remove the left front wheel drive shaft (see left hand drive or right hand drive).
Install the front wheel drive with the middle part of the shaft in a vise (a locksmith's vise with aluminum linings, a locksmith's workbench of the SHP-17 "GARO" type).
Remove the retaining ring (external snap ring pliers).
Remove grease (technological spatula, rags).
Mark the position of the three-pin joint on the drive shaft by any means except mechanical.
Press the three-pin hinge hinge 1, Figure 13-6, with a press, using puller 2 as a stop (hydraulic press type KS-124, puller type 71 03 00 01 f. "Stahlwille").
ATTENTION! Do not remove the rollers from the hinge pins, as the rollers and bearing needles are worn to each other and should not be swapped.
Press the bearing and protective cover with a press, using a puller as a stop (hydraulic press type KS-124, puller type 71 03 00 01 f. "Stahlwille").
Wash the drive parts and blow them with compressed air (high-pressure washing unit with water heating type HDS 895 S "Karcher" (Germany), gun type AH 050101 "ANI" (Italy) for blowing with compressed air).
Installation
Install puller 1, Figure 13-7, into the groove on drive shaft 2 for support so as not to damage the oil seal on the wheel side (puller type 71 03 00 01 f. "Stahlwille").
Press bearing 3 together with protective cover 4 onto the drive shaft using mandrel 5 so that the distance between the bearing guide and the end of the wheel drive shaft is 115.4±0.2 mm (hydraulic press type KS-124, mandrel for pressing bearings - self-made).
Press the three-pin joint onto the drive shaft. When assembling, ensure that the marks applied before disassembly match (plastic-head hammer).
Install a new retaining ring on the drive shaft (external snap ring pliers).
Fill the internal cavity of the half-axle gear housing in the gearbox and the protective cover with grease for the joints of the front wheel drive shafts in equal quantities (grease for the joints of the front wheel drive shafts 77 11 420 011 according to the current "Codifier of the main and auxiliary materials used in the maintenance and repair of LADA vehicles" K 3100.25100.00018, technological blade).
