Removing
1. We prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. For convenience, remove the front wheel (see "Wheel - replacement").
3. With a metal brush, we clean the thread of the tip from dirt and treat it with a penetrating lubricant.
4. Key by 27 mm we loosen the tightening of the outer lock nut, holding the rod coupling with a wrench by 24 mm.
5. Using pliers, straighten and remove the cotter pin from the hole of the ball pin of the thrust.
6. Ring wrench by 19 mm unscrew the castle nut of the finger.
7. With a puller, we press out the finger from the hole in the steering knuckle of the front suspension strut.
8. Rotating the outer tip, we turn it out of the coupling (the tip is left-hand threaded).
Note: If during assembly it is necessary to approximately set the wheel alignment (e.g. to get to the control stand) - We count the number of revolutions made.
Installation
1. We cover the threaded part of the tip with Litol-24 grease or similar.
2. We wrap a new tip in the coupling.
Note: To approximately maintain the wheel alignment, we wrap the new tip into the coupling for the same number of revolutions that was made when unscrewing the old tip.
3. We insert a finger into the hole of the rotary arm of the rack and wrap the castellated nut.
4. Tighten the finger nut to a torque of 27.1-33.4 N·m (2.8-3.4 kgf·m) and turn it until the hole in the pin aligns with the nearest slot in the nut.
5. Cotter nut (insert the cotter pin into the finger and part the ends of the cotter pin in different directions).
6. Tighten the thrust coupling locknut to a torque of 121-149.4 N·m (12.3-15.2 kgf·m).
Warning! After replacing the tip, it is necessary to adjust the toe-in of the wheels at the service station.
