1. Drain the oil from the gearbox.
2. After removing the protective cap, loosen the hub nut.
3. Loosen the wheel mounting bolts and hub nut. The hub nut is tightened with a high torque, so it is recommended to use, for example, a piece of pipe as a lever.
Warnings! When loosening the hub nut, the vehicle must be parked on the ground!
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).
4. Apply the parking brake, place chocks under the rear wheels and raise the front of the car using reliable supports.
5. Remove the front wheel and finally unscrew the hub nut.
6. Remove the thrust washer.
7. Remove the cotter pin from the nut securing the ball joint of the steering rod to the steering arm.
8. Loosen the nut securing the steering rod ball joint.
9. Using a puller, press the ball joint pin of the steering rod out of the steering column pivot arm.
10. Remove the two bolts and disconnect the ball joint of the front suspension arm from the steering knuckle.
11. Move the steering knuckle with the strut to the side…
12. …and remove the splined tailpiece of the outer joint from the hub.
13. Using a tire iron, press the inner drive joint tail out of the gearbox.
Note: If you plan to remove both drives, after removing one of the drives, insert a technological plug into the gearbox in its place (for example, the old inner hinge) and only then remove the second drive. Otherwise, the differential axle gears will shift and it will be impossible to install the drives.
14. Remove the drive shaft.
15. Install the front wheel drive in the reverse order of removal.
