Block the wheel hub using the KM 468 tool or a steel plate fixed with two wheel bolts and resting against the stand.
Loosen and loosen the hub nut.
Unscrew the nut of the ball joint pin of the front suspension arm and disconnect the arm from the steering knuckle.
On vehicles with gearbox types «F10» And «F13» using tools KM 460-2 for the left shaft (see photo) or KM 460-1 for the right shaft, and on vehicles with gearbox types «F16» And «F20» using the tool KM 503 for the left shaft and a bar of suitable diameter for the right shaft, remove the shanks of the internal hinges of the wheel drive shafts from the side gears, using a 1500 g hammer to fit the devices onto the shafts, making sure that the device installed on the right shaft is in a vertical position, and the marking applied to the fixture was facing the gearbox. Plug the openings in the gearbox housing immediately after disconnecting the shafts to prevent significant oil leakage.
