Removal

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

Being self-stopped bolts and nuts surely replace with the new.

Operation of lifting and car installation on supports is connected with danger! Therefore before carrying out operation familiarize with Poddomkrachivaniye's Section and Introduction towage to the management.

1. Lift and establish the car on supports.
2. Remove a back part of system of release, address to the Section Removal, installation of system of release and tightness check.

3. Unscrew screws of fastening and take out the thermofilter (1).

4. Diesel engine: Remove the bottom facing of the car.
5. RKPP: Disconnect a rigidity edge at the central block of gear shifting.
6. AT: Disconnect an edge of rigidity (2). (3) – driveshaft.

7. Unscrew screws of fastening (1) and disconnect the forward driveshaft from a check point. Thus the coupling should remain on the driveshaft. That the driveshaft was not turned, hold it a tape key.

8. Disconnect the back driveshaft from the main transfer. Thus the flange should remain on the driveshaft.

9. Weaken directing plugs in driveshaft flanges by means of a cylindrical drift (= 10-12 mm, length = about 150 mm).

Bring a support under the driveshaft that it at removal did not bend under a big corner. Otherwise, in particular, at the hinge of equal angular speeds protective casings can be crumpled.

10. Unscrew bolts of fastening of an intermediate support, keeping her from a provorachivaniye. If necessary remove washers from bolts. At installation it is necessary to establish them on former places.

11. Remove the driveshaft from aligning pins on a check point and on a flange of the main transfer and take out a shaft back.
