Self-replacement of hydraulic compensators

Very often, motorists face a situation where replacement of hydraulic compensators is necessary. The price for this work in different workshops is quite high, so it makes sense to do it yourself. By this you will save your money, and better than yourself, no one will.

So, let's start in order. The replacement of hydraulic compensators assumes the availability of the following tools: a tool for the valves of the classic VAZ line, as well as a standard candle key. I recommend picking this key out of the trash, as it will have to be cut. This is necessary so that your raschetachivatel could not slip from it.

For all cars, the replacement of hydraulic compensators is similar. Priora or some other car - the principle is the same everywhere. When you have prepared all this, proceed to unscrew the valve cover. After this you must remove the upper casing from the belt of the gas mechanism, and then unscrew the sprocket. Then slowly move it from the bottom of the camshaft. Now thread a small piece of wire through it and firmly tie it. This is necessary so that your belt does not move with respect to this star itself.

The star itself you shoot with the aim that there was a possibility of turning the camshaft and cams. Take care that the tooth does not jump over in any way. Further turn a little a camshaft so that its convex part has risen on top. Before the hydraulic compensators are replaced, plug some drain drain holes for oil that are located in the area of the fourth cylinder. Since they have a maximum diameter, the valve washer easily falls into them. In the end, you need to release them.

Now screw the bolt to the place where the valve cover was previously attached . So we can fix the randomizer. Next, insert the candle key directly opposite the bolt that was twisted. It should stand on the edge of the spring washer of your valve.

Take a piece of thick wire and make a hook out of it. You will also need round-nosed pliers, tweezers and (just in case) a magnet. After that, click on the rattler, fixed on one side with a bolt. You will press on the key, and it will affect the valve washer.

At the moment when you press the rascher with all possible strength, you need to move the rocker with your free hand in such a way as if you raise the part sitting on the hydraulic compensator. Your task is to slip the hook under its lower part and pull it out. Replacing the hydraulic compensators will be difficult in the case of the extreme ones, since there is a bit of free space there. You can pull out two or one at a time.

Collect all of this in the reverse order. Click on the rattler and insert the rocker. If it entered you unevenly, but at the same time got on the compensator, everything is fine. Release the rattler and tilt it with a screwdriver.

As you can see, replacing the expansion joints is not anything complicated, but it's better if you do this with an assistant.
