DISMOUNTING – THE SIDE TO THE GEARBOX

The right side
Due to the solution assumed by the manufacturer, the transmission joint (the tulip of the

transmission) with the transmission shaft of the gearbox shall be performed only by mea
the grooves.

The dismounting of the transmission, the side to the gearbox, shall be performed by

axial displacement - extract the transmission tulip from the transmission shaft.

The left side

Drain the oil of the gearbox.
Dismount :

- the three screws for fixing the bellows – lid assembly on the gearbox;
- the transmission, the side to the gearbox.

FRONT TRANSVERSAL TRANSMISSION

REMOUNTING – THE SIDE TO THE GEARBOX

The left side

Engage the transmission GI joint in the gearbox (the transmission position as horizontally

as possible).

Mount the three attachment screws of the bellows lid on the gearbox.

The right side

Grease the tulip frame grooves (the grooves area) and the transmission shaft of the

gearbox with transmission oil.

Engage the transmission GI joint (the tulip) on the transmission shaft of the gearbox

(the transmission position must be as horizontally as possible).

REMOUNTING – THE SIDE TO THE WHEEL

For both sides

Engage the transmission in the steering knuckle, this one being necessary to freely enter,

so that threaded area of the steering knuckle is allowing to remounting the transmission nut.

Perform then the dismounting operations in the reverse order.
Observe the tightening moments.
Remount the brake disk assembly.
Refill the gearbox with oil.
Press several times the brake pedal to enable caliper piston coming in contact with the

brake pads.

DISMOUNTING

It is forbidden to use thinner  for

components parts cleaning.

Dismount the blocking ring from the

groove made on the transmission shaft, using
a special pincers for these types of rings.

BELLOWS-BEARING ASSEMBLY

TO THE GEARBOX

Using a press, extract the assembled

tripod, sustained it on an extractor, FACOM
U 53 G type, protecting the tripod clogs.

Before extracting, mark the position of

the tripod compared to the transmission
shaft end.

Dismount the bellows - deflector bearing

in the same manner like tripod dismounting.

REMOUNTING

In order to be correctly positioned on the

shaft, the bearing must be pressed to achieve
the value  L = 118 +/- 0.2 mm between the
backside of the bearing and the shaft
extremity. This value is obtained by means
of the PF 1331 device, when mounting, its
extremity is at the level of the shaft.

IMPORTANT

In order to avoid the deformation of the bearing, which includes a sealing gasket (annular

oil seal), the pressing effort must be constant (do not hammer).
