Removal
1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the engine splash guard (see "Engine Mudguard - Removal and Installation").
3. Drain the oil from the gearbox (see "Gearbox - Oil change").
4. Remove the decorative wheel cap and loosen the hub nut.
5. Loosen the wheel mounting bolts (see "Wheel replacement").
6. Place the car on a secure stand and remove the front wheel (see "Wheel replacement"),
7. Loosen the three bolts securing the upper support of the suspension strut and unscrew the nuts a few turns (see "Front suspension strut - removal and installation").
8. Using an 18 mm socket wrench, unscrew the ball joint pin nut (see "Front suspension arm - removal and installation").
9. Using a 30 mm socket wrench, completely unscrew the wheel hub nut (see "Front Wheel Hub Bearing - Replacement").
10. Remove the outer joint tail from the hub. If necessary, knock it out using a punch made of soft metal...
...or press it out using a universal three-jaw puller (see "Front Wheel Hub Bearing - Replacement").
Note: When removing the left drive, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right; when removing the right drive, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left.
11. Remove the brake hose from the bracket on the suspension strut. Carefully, without allowing strong tension on the brake hose, pull the lower part of the strut outward, remove the tail of the outer hinge from the hub and carefully lower the drive onto the transverse suspension arm.
12. Using a mounting blade as a lever (resting its end against the end face of the inner hinge housing), we move the hinge to the outside, overcoming the resistance of the retaining ring.
13. While supporting the inner hinge, carefully (being careful not to damage the drive seal with the splines of the hinge tailstock) we remove the joint from the gearbox and remove the drive assembly from the car.
We remove the drive of the other wheel in the same way.
Installation
1. Replace the retaining ring of the splined tailpiece of the inner joint housing with a new one.
2. Apply plastic grease to the splined and smooth surfaces of the shank.
3. Carefully insert the shank into the seal, trying not to damage the working edge of the seal with the shaft splines. In this case, we direct the retaining ring with the gap upwards.
4. Vigorously insert the drive into the gearbox and make sure that the retaining ring of the inner joint tailstock is securely fixed and the drive does not extend out of the gearbox housing.
5. We carry out further work in the reverse order of disassembly.
Warning: A new hub nut must be installed during assembly.
After installing the wheel, finally tighten the hub nut to a torque of 226–247 Nm.
