Removal

PERFORMANCE ORDER

On models of early years of release give a nut of fastening of a damper of a steering drive to a cross-section jet bar, remove a washer. Disconnect a damper from a bar and clean it aside. On models of late years of release give a nut on the end of a steering damper turned to a cross-section jet bar, holding a damper rod from a provorachivaniye a wrench. Remove washers and rubber plugs and take a damper aside. On some models the damper of a steering drive is fixed not on a cross-section jet bar, and on the car chassis. In this case procedures of the first two paragraphs should be lowered. Give a nut and a bolt of fastening of a cross-section jet bar to the forward bridge and the chassis. Remove a bar from the car. Check plugs of a cross-section jet bar on existence of signs of wear and damages. Defective plugs replace (see an accompanying illustration): 1 — a pipe 2 — an opravka 3 — a cross-section jet bar Prop up a bar under the plug subject to replacement with a piece of a pipe of suitable diameter (the plug should pass freely through a pipe). By means of the tool which opravka will rest against an internal steel tube of the plug, squeeze out the plug of a bar. Plugs have various internal diameter therefore it is recommended to carry out their replacement serially. Moisten an external surface of the new plug with soap water and start to push gradually the plug on the seat by means of a piece of a pipe which will rest against an external steel tube of the plug. Make sure of perpendicularity of landing of the plug and centrality of its arrangement.
