Helpful hints: When removing the rear axle, you must have assistants who will hold and lower the rear suspension beam.
If you intend to disassemble the beam after removing it, first loosen the wheel mounting bolts and hub nuts.
Warning! Loosen and tighten the wheel mounting bolts only with the vehicle on the ground. Tightening torque of the bolts is 65–95 N·m (6.5–9.5 kgf·m).
1. Remove the ends of both parking brake cables from the equalizer and remove the cables from the holders on the underbody of the vehicle (see "Replacing the parking brake cable").
2. 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 (see "Replacing the pressure regulator").
3. 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.
4. Unscrew one nut on each side of the bolts securing the beam to the brackets, knock out the bolts and remove the beam, rolling it out from under the car on its wheels.

Helpful advice. The manufacturer recommends removing the beam together with the brackets by unscrewing three nuts securing them. However, after long-term use, rusted studs may break. Therefore, it is better to remove the beam by disconnecting it from the brackets, which remain on the body.
5. Install the rear suspension beam in the reverse order of removal.
6. Finally tighten the nuts of the beam mounting bolts with the vehicle standing on the ground.
7. After installation, bleed the brake system and adjust the parking brake.
