With levers removed
The lower arm is mounted on the mandrel 3 (pic. 115) and the press punch is pressed on the axis 1 of the lever until the hinge 2 is pressed out of the hole. To press out the second hinge, turn the lever over and repeat the operation. The hinges of the lower arms are pressed in using the spacer sleeve А.74177/2 (2 - fig. 116), clamped in a vice, and fixtures A.74177/1 (5). The lever with axle 1 is mounted on fixture 2, the hinge is put on the axle and pressed into the hinge seat using fixture 3. Then, using the same techniques, the second hinge is pressed in.
Attachment A.47046 is installed on the upper arm (1 - fig. 117) when pressing out the hinges so that the screw head of the tool is directed inward. Hinge 2 is pressed out by tightening the screw of the device. The same device is used to press in the hinge only in combination with cap 3 (pic. 118). Having installed the hinge 2 in the socket of the lever, wrap the screw of the device 1 until the hinge is completely pressed in.
By car
Install the car on a lift or inspection ditch and hang the front of the car from the side where the replacement will be made. Take off the wheel. Having unscrewed the nut, the pin of the ball joint of the steering rod is pressed out with the puller A.47052 and the free end of the side rod is retracted. Unscrew the nuts securing the suspension arm to the axle and remove the washers from both ends of the axle. Install glass 3 (pic. 119, a) accessories 02.7823.9500 on the shelf of the lever 4 and screw the screw 1 onto the end of the axis 6. Holding the screw 1 with a knob and turning the nut 2, shift the eye of the lever from the outer shell of the hinge. Remove the fixture and press out the hinge 5 from the axis of the lever. Giving the lever eye a position concentric with the lever axis with a crowbar or mounting spatula, insert a new hinge into the hole of the eye and put it on the axle. Put on the end of the axle ring 8 (pic. 119b) fixtures 02.7823.9501 and set the stop between shelf 9 and the nearest nut for attaching the axle to the front suspension cross member. By rotating the nut 7 and holding the stop 11, a new hinge 10 is pressed into the eye of the lever. Then remove the fixture, install the washer and nut securing the lever to the axle. The nut is not tightened. Similarly, replace other rubber-metal hinges of the lower suspension arms. After replacing the hinges, connect the tie rod to the steering knuckle lever, tighten and cotter the nut of the tie rod ball pin, install and secure the wheel.
The hinges of the upper suspension arms are replaced using tool A.47046 in the same way as on the removed arms in the following order:
- put the car on a viewing ditch or lift and hang out the front of the car where the replacement will be made, then remove the wheel;
- unscrew the nut of the axis of the upper lever and, having removed the axis, deploy the lever with the lugs outward;
- install a glass of fixture A.47046 on the lever (see fig. 117) with nut and bolt head inside the lever. By rotating the nut, the hinge is pressed out and the fixture and hinge are removed. Insert a new hinge into the eye of the lever, install the tool A.47046 (see fig. 118) so that the cap of the tool is under the nut. Rotating the nut, press the hinge and remove the fixture.
Similarly, replace the other hinges of the upper suspension arms.
After replacing the hinges, turn the upper arm with its lugs to the front end, slide it onto the front, insert the axle of the upper arm, install the washer and axle nut, without completely tightening it. Then install the wheels, lower the car and tighten the nuts of the axles of the levers, observing all the operations described in sec. 3.1.4 "Removal and installation of a forward suspension bracket". After replacement rubber-metal hinges should be "knead", having made a trial run of 15-20 km, then check and, if necessary, adjust the angles of the front wheels.
