1. Drain the gearbox oil (see "Gearbox oil change").
2. Remove the screws securing the decorative caps of the front wheels…
3. …and remove the caps.
4. Using a screwdriver, remove the front hub caps.
Attention! The caps are equipped with sealing rubber rings. Don't lose them.
5. Loosen the hub nuts by straightening the bent flanges of the nuts.
6. Using a 30 mm socket wrench, loosen the wheel mounting bolts and hub nuts. The hub nuts are tightened with a high torque, so it is recommended to use, for example, a piece of pipe as a lever.
Caution! When unscrewing the hub nuts, the car must be on the ground. Loosen and tighten wheel bolts only with the vehicle on the ground. Tightening torque of bolts 65–95 N·m (6.5–9.5 kgf·m).
7. Apply the parking brake, place chocks under the rear wheels and lift the front of the car using secure supports. Remove the front wheels. After this, completely unscrew the hub nuts and remove the thrust washers installed underneath them.
Warning! Do not reuse hub nuts.
8. Disconnect the steering knuckles from the suspension arms by unscrewing two ball joint mounting bolts on each side using a 17 mm wrench.
9. By moving the shock absorber strut outward, remove the splined tailpiece of the left drive inner joint housing from the wheel hub.
10. Similarly, disconnect the right drive from the hub.
Note: The steering rods prevent the shock absorber struts from moving. In order to eliminate their influence, when disconnecting the left drive from the hub, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and when disconnecting the right drive, turn it all the way to the left.
11. Using a mounting blade, press out the inner joint tailpiece from the differential axle gear...
12. ...and remove the left drive.
Attention! If you plan to remove both drives at once, then after you have removed the left drive, insert a technological plug into the gearbox instead of it (for example, the old internal hinge). Only after this remove the second drive. Otherwise, the differential axle gears may become misaligned and the drives will be impossible to install.
13. Press the right drive out of the axle shaft gear and remove it.
Caution! Before disconnecting the right-hand drive from the gearbox, be sure to remove the front clutch housing cover (see "Removal and installation of the gearbox", p. 150), otherwise it will be bent by the mounting blade and the flywheel may touch it when the engine is running.
14. Before installing the drives, be sure to replace the retaining rings on the tails of the inner joint housings, otherwise the drive may spontaneously jump out of the axle gear while driving.
15. To install the drive, first insert the splined tail of the outer joint housing into the wheel hub, install the thrust washer and screw the hub nut until it stops, without tightening it completely.
16. Then insert the splined tailpiece of the inner joint housing into the inner joint seal and turn the drive shaft slightly so that the splines of the tailpiece and the axle shaft gear align.
17. Move the front suspension arm down and, using a sharp movement of the shock absorber strut with the steering knuckle, press the drive into the axle shaft gear until the drive is secured with a retaining ring.
18. Check the reliability of the drive fixation in the axle shaft gear: grab the shock absorber strut fist with your hands and try to forcefully pull the joint tail out of the gearbox. If this is successful, try pressing the drive into the gearbox again. If after the second attempt you are able to remove the drive manually, replace the retaining ring with another one.
19. Install the second drive in the same way, removing the technological plug from the axle shaft gear.
20. Attach the ball joints of the shock absorber struts to the steering knuckles (see item 8).
21. Install the wheels and screw in the wheel mounting bolts until they stop, without tightening them completely.
22. Place the vehicle on its wheels, removing it from the supports, and tighten the hub nuts to the torque specified in Appendix 1.
Attention! It is strictly forbidden to move the vehicle with loose hub nuts to avoid damaging the hub bearing separators.
23. Lock the hub nuts by bending (for example, with a large screwdriver) locking flanges of nuts into grooves of tails of outer hinge housings.
24. Install the hub caps.
25. Tighten the wheel mounting bolts to the torque specified in Appendix 1.

26. Install the decorative wheel covers.
27. Fill the gearbox with oil (see "Gearbox oil change").
