Removing
1. Check the play of the tie rod end. To do this, jack up the front of the car so that the front wheels hang freely. Feed the wheels and tie rods from side to side. There should be no backlash.
2. Set the wheels to drive in a straight line.
3. Mark the direction of rotation of the wheel with an arrow on the sidewall of the tire and loosen the wheel bolts.
4. Jack up the front of the car, install it on the stand goats and, having unscrewed the fastening bolts, remove the wheel.
5. Check up fastening of a tip of cross steering draft, and also a condition of protective caps of spherical support and their landing. If necessary, replace the tip with a new one.
6. Loosen the nut 1 finger of the ball joint of the tie rod end a few turns. At the same time, keep the finger of the tip from turning with a multi-faced socket wrench T40 (see illustration).
7. Press the tip ball joint pin out of the steering knuckle arm using a puller, for example, HAZET 779, resting the puller on the nut on the pin (see illustration 16.6).
8. Unscrew a nut from a finger of a tip completely and take a finger from the lever on a rotary fist.
9. Mark the position of the tie rod and the tip relative to each other in order to tighten the lock nut 3 as it was before removal (see illustration 16.6).
10. Loosen locknut 3 while holding the tie rod end with a wrench (see arrow in illustration 16.6).
11. Unscrew the tip from the tie rod, counting and recording the number of turns. This data will be needed when installing the handpiece.
Installation
Tie rod ends are marked. The letter A denotes the tips of the right tie rod, and the letter B - the left.
12. Degrease the tie rod end.
13. Screw the tip to the tie rod, making the same number of turns as when removing.
14. Tighten locknut 3 by hand (see illustration 16.6).
15. Align the tie rod so that the tip pin is in the desired mounting position and insert the pin all the way into the hole on the steering knuckle arm.
16. Screw on the new nut 1 (see illustration 16.6) on the pin of the ball joint of the tip and tighten it with a force of 20 Nm, and then tighten it 1/4 turn (90°).
Attention! Hold the tip pin from turning with a T40 Allen wrench.
17. Tighten the locknut on the tie rod to 55 Nm. When tightening the locknut, hold the tie rod against turning by the hex collar.
18. Establish the removed wheel according to the marks put at removal.
19. Screw in wheel bolts and lower the car on wheels.
20. Tighten the wheel bolts in a cross pattern to 120 Nm.
21. Contact the workshop to check the camber and convergence of the wheels.
