Removing
Remove front wheel drive (see left hand drive or right hand drive).
Install the front wheel drive with the middle part of the shaft 1, figures 13-2 and 13-3, in a vise (metalwork vise with aluminum pads, workbench type ШП-17 "GARO").

Snip the large 7 and small 8 tie-down straps with wire cutters, being careful not to damage outer joint housing 3 and drive shaft 1 (wire cutters).
Cut cover 2 along the entire length and remove from the shaft (technological knife).
Remove grease (technological spatula, rags).
Mark the relative position of the body 3 of the internal hinge of the front wheel drive, the three-pin joint 6 and the drive shaft 1 by any method except mechanical.
Remove the housing 1, Figure 13-4, of the inner joint from the drive shaft 2. There is no latch on the body of the inner hinge, it can be removed without force.

Press the three-pin hinge 1, Figure 13-6, using a press, using the 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, since the rollers and bearing needles are worked in to each other and should not be interchanged.
Rinse drive parts and blow with compressed air (hot water high pressure washer type HDS 895 S "Karcher" (Germany), gun type AN 050101 "ANI" (Italy) for blowing with compressed air).

Installation
Install the front wheel drive shaft with the middle part in a vise (metalwork vise with aluminum pads, workbench type ШП-17 "GARO").
Front wheel drive parts that must be replaced:
- a protective cover of the internal hinge of a shaft of a drive of the right forward wheel;
- retaining ring;
- spring cup;
- spring;
- small clamp;
- large clamp.
Put clamp 8, figures 13-2 and 13-3, of small diameter on shaft 1 of the wheel drive.
To facilitate installation of the protective cover, lubricate the wheel drive shaft (grease for front wheel drive shaft joints 77 11 420 011 in accordance with current "Codifier of the main and auxiliary materials used in the maintenance and repair of LADA vehicles" K 3100.25100.00018, technological blade).
Install the protective cover 2 of the internal hinge on the drive shaft.
Press a three-pin joint 6 onto the drive shaft. When assembling, ensure that the marks made before disassembly match (hammer with plastic head).
Install a new retaining ring 5 on the drive shaft (outer circlip plier).
Install the cup with the spring 4 into the body of the inner hinge 3.
Install the inboard joint housing onto the drive pivot.
Fill the cavity of the inner joint housing and the protective cover with grease for the joints of the front wheel drive shafts in equal quantities (grease for front wheel drive shaft joints 77 11 420 011 in accordance with current "Codifier of the main and auxiliary materials used in the maintenance and repair of LADA vehicles" K 3100.25100.00018, technological blade).
Place the edges of the cover in the grooves of the hinge housing and the wheel drive shaft (flat screwdriver).
Insert a rounded rod between the boot and the hinge body to adjust the amount of air inside the hinge (technological rod).
Shake the CV joint by hand to check that the boot belts are installed correctly.
Install the small 8 and large 7 clamps on the protective cover of the inner joint of the right front wheel drive shaft.
Tighten the small and large clamps until it clicks using the tool (clamp fitting tool Tav. 1168 or Tav. 1256, or Tav. 1784 depending on clamp design).
Install the front wheel drive shaft.
