PERFORMANCE ORDER

In total самоконтрящиеся bolts and nuts are subject to replacement without fail! Details of installation of assembly of the forward bridge are shown on illustrations which all references meeting in the text concern. Remove forward wheels. Remove forward shock-absorbers (see. Section Removal, check and installation of forward shock-absorbers). Disunite contact sockets of electroconducting of wheel sensors (L6/1x1 and L6/2x1). Disconnect brake lines from flexible brake hoses (see. Head Brake and auxiliary systems). Disconnect the driveshaft from an entrance flange of forward differential (see. Head Transmission line). Remove torsionny springs of a forward suspension bracket (see. Section Removal and installation of torsionny springs). Remove protection of a case. Disconnect torsionny to a hose (28) from a car frame. Disconnect from a frame the top cross-section lever of a suspension bracket (6). At the corresponding complete set remove a stretcher basic arms of lines of a path of cooling of ATF. Liberate from clamps on the back party of a stretcher (1) brake lines. On the models equipped with xenon headlights, disconnect from the right bottom cross-section lever draft (95b) a regulator of level of landing. Pump out hydraulic liquid from the GUR tank. Turn out a wheel in the situation corresponding to rectilinear movement and block it, having taken out a key from the ignition lock, - wheel rotation at the disconnected steering column is fraught with damage of a spiral contact drum of a chain of a horn and a driver's safety cushion. At the corresponding complete set disconnect from a cover of a head of cylinders the socket of electroconducting sensitive to speed of movement of system of hydrostrengthening of a wheel (SPS). Release nuts (25d), take a bolt and carefully liberate the bottom shaft of a steering column (80а) from entrance knot of the steering mechanism (25), - in case of need slightly unclench a clamp a screw-driver. Extend a shaft in the direction strictly parallel to its axis! Самоконтрящеся nuts (25d) are subject to replacement without fail. Having released shtutserny nuts / having turned out hollow bolts of shtutserny connections, remove pressure head (30i) and returnable (30f) hydraulic lines of a path of GUR, - at once закупорьте the open ends of shtutserny sockets. Disconnect a ventilating hose from a differential case. Prop up a stretcher of the forward bridge (1) and turn out самоконтрящиеся bolts (1f), - bolts are subject to replacement without fail. Having taken away in the parties everything шлаги, omit bridge assembly. In case of need remove a stretcher and make replacement of rubber pillows of support of a suspension bracket of transmission, extraction/landing of plugs is made by means of a special ex-tractor. Installation is made upside-down, - the final tightening of elements of fastening of cross-section levers is made only after car lowering on the earth. At connection of a steering shaft reechny transfer should be brought into neutral (rectilinear) situation. Do not forget about need of performance of replacement of sealing elements of shtutserny sockets of hydraulic lines. In summary modify levels of working liquids of brake system and GUR, remove from hydraulic paths air. Modify the direction of optical axes of headlights and execute adjustment of geometry of a suspension bracket.
