Removal
Before removing, drain the oil from the rear axle housing and, having lifted the rear of the car, place it on stands and remove the wheels. Unscrew the nuts securing the brake shield to the beam and extend the axle shafts so that they come out of the differential box. Having disconnected the cardan shaft from the gearbox, place a stand under the gearbox housing and unscrew the bolts securing it.
Installation
Before installing the gearbox, thoroughly clean the axle beam from oil. Place a sealing gasket on the mating surface, insert the gearbox into the beam and secure it. Pre-lubricate the bolt threads with sealant. Before applying sealant, thoroughly degrease the bolts and holes.
Attach the cardan shaft to the gearbox, install the axle shafts, brake drums, screw on the wheel mounting bolts without tightening, then remove the stands.
Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel bolts completely with a torque wrench. Fill the rear axle housing with oil, after cleaning the magnetic drain plug.
