Pic. 7-38. Removing the instrument panel: 1 - instrument panel; 2 - instrument panel; 3 - bracket; 4 - firmware
When removing the instrument panel, pay attention to how the flexible shaft of the speedometer drive was laid, and when installing the shield, place the flexible shaft along the same route, avoiding bending the shaft with radii less than 100 mm. The flexible shaft must not be intertwined with bundles of wires, cables and pipelines.
Before installing a new flexible shaft, it is recommended to apply grease LSTs-15 or LITOL-24 to the shaft shell for a length of 50 mm before and after the seal. The seal should be at a distance of 450-550 mm from the upper end of the shaft. therefore, no shaft loop is formed under the instrument panel when the instrument panel is reinstalled. After applying the lubricant, pull the shaft in the seal two or three times with an amplitude of 200-300 mm to rub the lubricant.
