Repair and car operation

Removal, survey and installation of the steering mechanism

At installation new nuts and bolts of fastening of the steering mechanism be required.

Block back wheels, cock a manual brake, then поддомкратьте a forward part of the car and establish its but axial props. Remove forward wheels.

THE STEERING MECHANISM WITHOUT THE AMPLIFIER

REMOVAL

1. Remove nuts, fastening spherical hinges of cross-section steering bent for to rotary fists. Let out cores of hinges by means of a special stripper (address to an accompanying illustration). 2. Working under the car, let out fixing скобу (where is available) and unbend a protective rubber cover to get access to the bottom universal hinge of a shaft of a steering column. A paint or a marker put on the universal hinge and a gear wheel of the steering mechanism of a label. Loosen the also remove a nut and a clip bolt, крепящего the hinge to a gear wheel. 3. Remove two nuts, fastening assemblage of the steering mechanism to a stretcher. Separate a gear wheel of the steering mechanism from the universal hinge and deduce assemblage from under the car. Remove a rubber cover. Will throw out fixing nuts and bolts - they are subject to replacement.

THE HELMSMAN OF THE MECHANISM WITH THE AMPLIFIER

REMOVAL

1. Remove a reception pipe of the muffler/converter as it is described in the Head of the Power supply system and release. If it is necessary, remove a casing of the air filter to facilitate access to assemblage of the steering mechanism. 2. Execute the actions described in paragraphs 2 and 3 above. The prevention: On the cars equipped with a pillow of safety before to remove a column shaft, place wheels in position "directly" and block a steering wheel by means of the suitable tool. If not to make it, the block of contact of conducting of a pillow will be damaged. 3. Using special clips, press submitting and returnable hoses of the mechanism about the tank of hydrosystem of the amplifier. It will reduce liquid loss at performance of the subsequent actions. 4. Mark hoses concerning connecting муфт not to mix them at installation. Turn away connecting nuts of tubes on assemblage of the steering mechanism. Be ready to an exit of a liquid and substitute under the ends of tubes the suitable container. Separate both tubes and закупорьте their ends and apertures of the steering mechanism to prevent the further loss of a liquid. Remove sealing rings of connecting nuts and will throw out they be they are subject to replacement. 5. Turn away nuts/bolts, fastening submitting and returnable tubes to a stretcher, and take away tubes from the steering mechanism. 6. Turn away fixing bolts and nuts of the steering mechanism, then remove halves of assembly clips and rubber plugs (address to an accompanying illustration). Will throw out fixing nuts and bolts - they are subject to replacement. 7. On models Scenic remove a bolt, крепящий an extension of the bottom lever to a longeron of the left forward wing, and a nut, крепящую it to the lever. Remove an extension from the car. 8. Separate a gear wheel of the steering mechanism from the universal hinge, then deduce assemblage of the mechanism from under the car. Pay attention that on models Scenic probably it is necessary to ask to displace the assistant the engine/transmission forward as far as possible.

SURVEY

1. Examine assemblage of the steering mechanism on presence of damages and deterioration signs, and be convinced that рейка it is displaced at full capacity freely and without excessive люфта between a gear wheel and рейкой. On models with the steering hydraulic booster examine all connecting муфты the steering mechanism on presence of smudges and be convinced that their nuts are clamped reliably. 2. The partition of the steering mechanism is impossible. Unique replaceable components are protective covers, spherical hinges of steering draughts and draughts.

THE STEERING MECHANISM WITHOUT THE AMPLIFIER

INSTALLATION

1. Establish the steering mechanism and a rubber casing into position. Establish the universal hinge on grooves of a gear wheel of the steering mechanism, having combined the labels made before removal. 2. Insert new fixing bolts, then screw nuts and tighten their effort resulted in Specifications. 3. Establish a coupling bolt and a nut of the universal hinge and tighten the regulated effort of an inhaling. Displace a protective casing into position and attach its new coupler. 4. Establish spherical hinges of steering draughts in rotary fists and tighten their fixing nuts the regulated effort of an inhaling. 5. Establish wheels, lower the car on the earth and tighten wheel bolts the effort resulted in Specifications. 6. In summary, check up and if it is necessary, adjust a convergence of forward wheels as it is described in Section Corners of installation of wheels.

THE HELMSMAN OF THE MECHANISM WITH THE AMPLIFIER

INSTALLATION

1. Deduce assemblage of the steering mechanism and a rubber casing into position. Establish the universal hinge on grooves of a gear wheel of the steering mechanism, having combined the labels made before removal. 2. Establish on the mechanism rubber plugs and place halves of fixing clips into position. Establish new fixing bolts and nuts and tighten them while manually. 3. Establish on nuts connecting муфт the steering mechanism new sealing rings and connect to the tube mechanism. Screw each connecting nut on some turns, then establish nuts/bolts fixing скоб tubes, but do not clamp them while. 4. Tighten fixing bolts and nuts of the steering mechanism the effort resulted in Specifications, then tighten connecting nuts of tubes. After that reliably tighten nuts/bolts fixing скоб tubes. 5. Establish a coupling bolt of the universal hinge and tighten its nut the effort resulted in Specifications. Move a protective casing into position. 6. Insert spherical hinges of steering draughts into rotary fists and tighten their fixing nuts the effort resulted in Specifications. 7. Where is available, establish an extension of the bottom lever. 8. Establish a reception pipe of the muffler/converter and (where the casing of the air filter is removed) as it is described in the Head of the Power supply system and release. 9. Establish wheels, lower the car on the earth and tighten wheel bolts the effort resulted in Specifications. 10. Remove from hoses clips and pump over amplifier hydrosystem as it is described in Section Prorolling of hydrosystem of the steering hydraulic booster. 11. In summary, check up and if it is necessary, adjust a convergence of forward wheels as it is described in Section Corners of installation of wheels.
