VAZ-2110: replacement of the CV joint and anther with its own hands

On the VAZ-2110, the replacement of the CV joints takes a little time, and a small amount of tools is required for operation. Of special equipment only a puller for the tips of the steering rods. But it will be very difficult for you if you do not have a key for 30. The carrots do not fit, you need to use either a cover or a face. For what purpose it is needed, will be told a little later. Before you start replacing the CV joints, you need to make sure that it is from them all the trouble, namely, an annoying crunch.

Diagnosis of the failure of the CV joint

This is an element of the drive that is difficult to break. It's no joke, but it's a large metal flask, in which several large diameter steel balls are moving. Provided that the operation of the car is carried out in normal mode, the replacement of the outer CV joint VAZ-2110 can be carried out very rarely. One of the key conditions necessary for the normal operation of the drive is the presence of a sufficient amount of lubricant. As any porridge can not be spoiled with oil, and a large amount of graphite grease will not harm the drive.

To make sure that the crunch is heard from the drive, you need to unscrew the steering wheel to the extreme position, and then start moving. In this case, in the event of a malfunction of the drive, unpleasant sounds will be heard. Unfortunately, the defect of the ball joint also has similar symptoms. Therefore it will be simply elegant, if you install the car on a pit, hang out the wheels and, pulling the suspension elements, make sure that the balls do not come from the ball. To make sure that the replacement of the CV joint is necessary on the VAZ-2110, grasp the drive with your hand, then check that there is a free stroke. When the balls are destroyed and deformed, excessive wear occurs, the metal is erased, and the semiaxis increases its free stroke.

Preparation for repair

So, if you conducted an inspection, we decided that the replacement of the CV joints on the VAZ-2110 is inevitable, then it will be necessary to prepare for the work. The first thing to do is to drain the oil from the car's gearbox. The matter is that even with the replacement of the external drive, the half-shaft must be completely dismantled. Therefore, a grease will flow out of the gearbox through the hole.

At the same time, pay attention to the state of oil. If it is dark and contains a lot of foreign impurities, then it does not need to be poured back. Purchase a fresh oil and refill the box after repair. On the VAZ-2110, the replacement of the CV joint is accompanied by the fact that you will need to hang the wheels from the repaired side. First, loosen the wheel bolts and the wheel nut. When you remove the wheel, you will open a review on the rack and drive.

What you need to replace

Before the outer joint coupler (VAZ-2110) is dismantled, the replacement of which will be carried out in the future, it is necessary to purchase everything for repair. So, you need two sets of hinges - on the left and right sides. Please note that internal CV joints are much less likely to fail, their resource is higher. The reason is that the external ones experience substantially greater loads. And the stroke of the hinges inside the metal clip is great.

For qualitative repairs you need to purchase two sets of hinges. They include the following elements: directly hinges, hub nut, anther, graphite grease, retaining ring, two yokes. It is worth noting that it is also necessary to purchase an additional two anthers for internal hinges. If you do repair, then only qualitatively. An additional tube of lubricant may also be required.

How to remove the drive

When you post a wheel, you will need to do a few more actions. Note that the replacement of the CV joint seal of the VAZ-2110 should be carried out in the same way, because you have to remove the inner hinge from the box. They prevent you from getting the drive two elements - the steering rod and the ball bearing. First, take the pliers, straighten and remove the cotter pin from the tip of the finger. Then, using a key on 19, unscrew the nut. Extremely desirable, that выпрессовка a finger was carried out by a special stripper. And spend less time, and keep the integrity of the mechanism.

The ball joint is sufficiently detached from the hub, there is no need to press out the finger. Now, when the rack is free, completely unscrew the hub nut and, pulling the brake disc toward you , release the outer SHRUS. To make things easier, you can put the wheel - so it will be easier to grasp.

Dismantling and installation of new CV joints

Using a chisel and a hammer, pull the inner CV joint. Place the chisel clearly vertically so that its plane touches the hinge. Light strokes in the lateral part are able to release the locking ring and release the entire drive. That's all, now you can restore. Axle clamped tightly in the vice, the old anther is cut with a knife. Apply hammer blows on the surface of the outer hinge. Only this way the outer VAZ-2110 will exit from the semiaxis of the CV joints, it is replaced by heavy objects.

When the hinge comes off, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the semiaxis, rinse it with acetone, and remove the clamps. Simultaneously with the replacement of the external unit it is recommended to install a new anther on the inside, and preferably even flush it. After this procedure, only abundantly lubricate the hinges. The new external CV joint is mounted on the drive, clamped in the vice. Using a hammer made of bronze or an ordinary and wooden bar, the hinge on the half-axle is stuffed. The rest of the installation is in the reverse order.

conclusions

That's so easy to replace the CVTs VAZ-2110, the price of one hinge in stores is 700-900 rubles, depending on the manufacturer. Try to give preference to those who supply their products to the conveyor of AvtoVAZ. As practice shows, such units last the longest. After replacing the drives, tighten the hub nuts and wheel bolts well. Additional settings (such as alignment-convergence) are not required.
