5.2.6. Removal and installation of the lower shaft of steering

ATTENTION Never you set in motion a steering wheel during removal of the lower shaft of steering. Otherwise, it is necessary to adjust anew the provision of a contact spiral (on the combined switch). Besides, at turn of a steering wheel more than on two and a quarter turns will lead to destruction of a contact spiral.

Turn a steering wheel so that forward wheels of the car were in provision of the rectilinear movement.

Turn the ignition key in position of LOCK and take a key from the lock.

Uncover the elastic coupling of steering 5.

Fig. 5.31. Removal of the lower shaft of steering

Make adjusting tags 4 on the lower shaft 1 both the hinge of a shaft of a steering column 2, and the lower shaft 1 and a shaft of 3 (fig. 5.31).

Turn off the lower bolts of the hinge of a shaft of 6 (fig. 5.31).

Remove the lower shaft of steering of 1 (fig. 5.31).

Make sure that forward wheels and a steering wheel are in provision of the rectilinear movement.

Combine a flat part of "A" of the lower shaft of steering 1 with an opening of "B" of the hinge of a shaft 2 columns, as shown in the figure 5.32. Install the lower shaft in the hinge of a shaft of a steering column with compliance with tags 4.

Fig. 5.32. Installation of the lower shaft of steering

Establish the lower shaft 1 in a hollow shaft 3 according to tags of 4 (fig. 5.32).

Tighten a bolt (from an axis of satellites) the 6th nominal force of an inhaling, and then a bolt (from a steering column) the 5th nominal force of an inhaling (fig. 5.32).

Moment of an inhaling of bolts of the hinge of a steering shaft (a): 25 N · m.

Establish a cover of the elastic coupling of steering of 7 (fig. 5.32).

Screw of the lower facing of a steering wheel: 0,85 N · m.

Nut of a steering shaft: 33 N · m.

Nut of fastening of a steering column: 14 N · m.

Bolt of the hinge of a steering shaft: 25 N · m.
