Mounting the torsion bar on the lever
1 - lever, 2 - torsion bar mounting bolt, 3 - eccentric blocking gasket, 4 - stabilizer mounting bolt, 5 - stabilizer end mounting bolt, 6 - support gasket
Removing
1. Place the car on a lift and remove the shock absorbers, as well as the stabilizer bar.
2. Place the car on stands.
3. Replace the shock absorber with tool 7.0908 V (adjust its length so that you can freely place the axle in the lever).
4. Screw in the tool locknut.
5. On the opposite side, at the end of the torsion bar, unscrew the bolt and remove the gasket.
6. On the side from which the torsion bar is removed, unscrew the bolt and remove the support gasket.
7. Mark the position of the torsion bar with two punch strokes (on torsion bar and lever).
8. Install tip 7.0908 Q (improved shank with M8x125 thread) at the end of the torsion bar, and at the tip - an inertial puller (8.0316 A).
9. Remove torsion bar (care must be taken to ensure that the lever does not move back along with the torsion bar).
Installation
1. It is necessary to adjust the axis distance of tool 7.0908 V:
- to the recommended value if the torsion bar is new;
- up to the value determined for the body suspension height correction;
- to the value measured at the time of removal.
Attention! Torsion bars should not be interchanged during installation:
- - torsion bar right: 1 sign made with paint;
- - torsion bar left: 2 signs made with paint.
2. In place of the shock absorber, install a special adjusted device.
3. Install a tip on the torsion bar from the lever side, as well as an inertial puller (0908 Q).
4. Check that the splines are well cleaned and then lubricate them with Esso Norva 275 grease.
5. On the opposite side from the side from which the torsion bar was removed, install the support gasket in the socket.
6. Install the torsion bar through the fastening element in the lever, and then, turning it, find the position in which the torsion bar will freely enter to a depth of 8-10 mm.
Attention! The torsion bar enters only 8–10 mm freely.
7. Finish installing the torsion bar with the puller when it rests on the support pad.
8. Remove tip and puller.
9. Fill the hole with grease.
10. Install the support washer and tighten each end of the torsion bar to 17.5 Nm.
11. Screw in the two bolts of the handbrake cable holder.
12. Remove the tool installed in place of the shock absorber.
13. Install shock absorber.
14. Install stabilizer.
15. Put the car on wheels.
16. Check body suspension height and adjust if necessary.
