Using two 17 mm wrenches, unscrew the nuts of the two bracket mounting bolts on the right side member of the body.
The lower bolt can be removed immediately, and the upper one is removed together with the bracket.
We take out the cotter pin and use two 19 mm wrenches to unscrew the upper nut from the pendulum arm axis.
We remove the axle with the lever from the bracket.
There are two plastic bushings installed in the bracket (plain bearings). There are two flats on both ends of the axle, onto which lock washers are installed. Rubber seals are placed on the flanges of the bracket and the outer part of the bushings, which are held in place by lock washers.
The plastic bushings should sit tightly in the bracket, and the lever axis should not have radial play in the bushings. When the bushings wear out, replace them with new ones. When assembling, add Litol-24 or Fiol grease to the pendulum lever bracket.
Having tightened the upper nut, we check the moment of rotation of the lever axis in the bracket. The lever should rotate when a load of 1–2 kgf is applied to its free end.
We install the pendulum arm bracket in the reverse order of removal.
