1. Put the car in first gear and install anti-rollback stops ("shoes") under the front wheels. Loosen the bolts securing both rear wheels. Hang out the back of the car and remove the wheels.
Note: Loosen and tighten the wheel mounting bolts only with the vehicle on the ground. The tightening torque of the bolts is 65–95 N·m (6.5–9.5 kgf·m).
2. Remove the ends of both parking brake cables from the equalizer and remove the cables from the holders on the underbody of the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the rear brake hoses from the pipes on both sides of the vehicle and the pressure regulator elastic lever earring from the bracket on the beam.
4. Loosen the lower strut mounting nuts, remove the bolts and disconnect the struts from the beam brackets on both sides of the car. Assistants should hold the beam.
When removing the rear axle, you need to have assistants hold and lower the rear suspension beam.
5. Loosen the bolt securing the beam to the body bracket on both sides of the vehicle, lower the rear suspension beam and remove it from underneath the vehicle.
6. Install the rear suspension beam in the reverse order of removal. Lower the car to the ground and vigorously rock the rear of the car several times. Tighten to the appropriate torques: the shock absorber lower mount nut to the beam - 68-84 N·m (6.8-8.4 kgf·m), the beam fastening nut to the body bracket - 68-84 N·m (6.8-8.4 kgf·m). Bleed the brake system and adjust the parking brake drive. After driving 100 km, tighten these threaded connections again to the required torques.
