Dismantling

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. To remove the driveshaft.
2. To unclench safety laying and to unscrew a bolt of fastening of forks of the crosswise hinge. To remove aside an adjusting U-shaped plate, having designated at first its situation.
3. To disconnect forks of the crosswise hinge and to remove from a shaft the protection cover together with the case of the intermediate bearing.
4. By means of a universal two-humeral stripper to remove from a shaft the bearing together with a casing and a sealing ring.

Assembly

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. To fill space between the bearing and the protection cover with universal lubricant.
2. To install the bearing together with a casing on a shaft by means of the plug of the corresponding diameter (the red party of the bearing has to be directed to forks of the near crosswise hinge).
3. To put on the case with the protection cover the bearing installed on a shaft.
4. To insert forks of the crosswise hinge.
5. To screw up a bolt of fastening of forks together with the laying protecting from its unscrewing in a forward shaft and to tighten it so that it was possible to insert an adjusting U-shaped plate.
6. To connect both parts of the driveshaft, establishing forks of hinges on both of its ends in one plane. Non-performance of this condition does not provide balancing of a shaft and causes strong vibration.
7. To establish an U-shaped plate, to tighten a connecting bolt the necessary moment and to record it from unscrewing, having bent safety laying.
8. To install the driveshaft.
