Note. Boot replacement (without special devices) also shown in the section Replacement of CV joints.
Removing
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 (metalwork vise with aluminum pads, workbench type ШП-17 "GARO").
Remove retaining ring (outer circlip plier).
Remove grease (technological spatula, rags).
Mark the position of the three-pin joint on the drive shaft by any means other than mechanical.
Press the three-pin hinge 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.
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").
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 puller 1, Figure 13-7, into the groove on the 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 complete 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 the bearing - self-production).
Press the three-stud joint onto the drive shaft. When assembling, ensure that the marks made before disassembly match (hammer with plastic head).
Install a new circlip on the drive shaft (outer circlip plier).
Fill the internal cavity of the side gear housing in the gearbox and the protective cover with grease for the hinges 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).
