Introduction

Replacing a Fixed CV Joint requires some care and specific tools.

  1. 
With the vehicle resting on the ground, loosen the axle shaft nut and wheel bolts; With the vehicle suspended, remove the wheel;

Loosen the pivot and tie rod end nuts; Using an extractor, remove the pivot and tie rod end;

Remove the bolts connecting the suspension tower to the axle sleeve;

    • Loosen the pivot and tie rod end nuts; Using an extractor, remove the pivot and tie rod end;

    • Remove the bolts connecting the suspension tower to the axle sleeve;

    • Using a lever, force the tray down to disengage the pivot;

    • Pull the axle sleeve to release the Fixed Joint, if necessary, use a polyurethane hammer. Beware of the ABS Sensor;

  2. 
Remove the clamps and move the hood away from the Fixed Joint;

Using a CV Joint Extractor: Attach the adjustable part to the recess of the Half-shaft (where the boot clamp is positioned), place the Fixed Joint nut and tighten until the lock is released;
    • Remove the clamps and move the hood away from the Fixed Joint;

    • Using a CV Joint Extractor: Attach the adjustable part to the recess of the Half-shaft (where the boot clamp is positioned), place the Fixed Joint nut and tighten until the lock is released;

    • Remove the Fixed Gasket, spacer, disc spring and hood;

    • Clean the half shaft to avoid grease contamination.

  3. 
Manually assemble the Hood, the disc spring (with the concave part facing the outside of the joint) and the spacer bushing (with the flat side facing the disc spring);

Apply grease to the joint, starting at the bottom (using the nozzle of the tube) and fill the entire cavity, moving the cage to facilitate the process;

Position the groove of the Fixed Joint on the groove of the Half-shaft, use a polyurethane hammer and hit the end of the Joint until the lock ring fits into the groove of the Joint; Check that the joint is firm on the shaft by pulling on the body;

    • Apply the remaining grease to the hood;

    • Secure the larger clamp with the help of special pliers; Before securing the smaller clamp, use a round-tipped wrench between the boot and the shaft to allow some air to enter. Secure the smaller clamp, positioning it in the recess of the shaft.

  4. 
Place the end of the Fixed Joint into the Hub. Fit the axle sleeve to the pivot and then the suspension tower bolts. Install the steering terminal;

Tighten the Pivot and Tie Rod End nuts.

Place the new half-shaft nut, do not reuse the old nut. Position the Wheel and Wheel Bolts.

    • Place the new half-shaft nut, do not reuse the old nut. Position the Wheel and Wheel Bolts.

    • With the vehicle resting on the ground, tighten the wheel nuts. Apply 230 Nm to the half-shaft nut.
