Repair and operation of the car

Removal and installation of the steering mechanism

Removal

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Park the car with the forward wheels developed in rectilinear situation. Under the dashboard uncover the connecting hinge of a steering column (see an accompanying illustration). 2. Mark the provision of an intermediate shaft of a steering column in relation to an entrance shaft of the steering mechanism, then release the coupling screw (see an accompanying illustration). 3. A car front also establish to Poddomkratta it on props. Cock the parking brake. Having taken out the ignition key from the lock, block a steering column. Rotation of a steering wheel by the removed rack transfer is fraught with failure of the SRS cable reel. 4. Remove from transmission draft of the drive of switching and a jet bar of the lever of gear shifting (model with RKPP), or a gear shifting drive cable (models with AT) (see the Head Korobk of gear shifting). 5. Remove the catalytic converter (see the Head of the Power supply system and release). 6a. Get drain capacity under a case of the steering mechanism. Disconnect from a case of the steering mechanism hydraulic lines of the PAS system (at once to a zakuporta the open ends of lines for the purpose of minimization of losses of liquid and in order to avoid hit in system of dirt) (see an accompanying illustration). 6b. At the corresponding complete set remove a chassis stiffening rib (see an accompanying illustration). 7. Release tips of steering drafts from levers of rotary fists (see Removal and installation of tips of steering drafts). Remove a tip of the left draft. 8a. Prop up the steering mechanism from below and give bolts of its fastening (see accompanying illustrations). 8b. Omit assembly of rack transfer, accurately bringing an intermediate shaft of a steering column out of gearing with an entrance shaft of the mechanism. Shift assembly of the steering mechanism as it is possible further to the right and develop it an entrance shaft forward. Lower the left end of assembly under a frame and, gradually displacing to the left, take rack transfer from under the car.

Installation

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Start assembly of the steering mechanism on the regular place and enter its entrance shaft into gearing with an intermediate shaft of a steering column (track correctness of combination of the landing tags put in the course of dismantle). 2. Screw bolts of fastening of assembly of rack transfer (do not forget to enclose under heads of bolts of a washer) and tighten them with the required effort. 3. Screw a tip on the left draft, then fill both tips in levers of rotary fists (see Removal and installation of tips of steering drafts). 4. Connect the hydraulic PAS lines to a case of the steering mechanism. 5. Restore initial connection of drafts of the drive of transmission (see the Head Korobk of gear shifting) and the catalytic converter (see the Head of the Power supply system and release). 6. Lower the car on the earth, screw a coupling bolt of an intermediate shaft and tighten it with the required effort. Establish into place a cover of the connecting hinge of a steering column and fix it by collars. Track that the cover flange correctly was put on by landing openings the directing pins on a partition of a motive compartment (see an illustration to paragraph 1, Removal). 7. Fill in in the tank of system of hydrostrengthening of a wheel necessary amount of liquid of the required grade (see the Head Routine maintenance). Remove air from steering system (see Removal of air from a hydraulic path of system of strengthening of a wheel).
