Maintaining the transmission on the press, on both sides, shall be ensured on the G groove
made on shaft, by means of a device type FACOM U 53 G, ( the flat side towards bellows) in
order to avoid the deflector damages on the wheel side.
The pressing effort of the bearing on the transmission shaft ahas the value of = 100 – 700
daN.
Press again the assembled tripod on the transmission shaft observing the marks made when
depressing.
The press effort of the tripod assembly on the grooved area of the shaft end, shall be between
60 – 600 daN.
Remount the blocking ring (Zeger lock) in the groove made on the transmission shaft.

DISMOUNTING
Dismount the two maintaining collars off
the bellows by means of two rods, locally
manufactured (see the drawing)
Cut and remove the damaged bellows.
Remove as much grease as possible.
Mark one of the groove routes of the shaft
subject to its working corresponding clog by
marking with a centre punch on casing outer
consequently on the shaft.
D e ta c h the c onne c tion be twe en the
transmission shaft and the steering knuckle
casing, lifting one by one the arms of the
retaining star from the three stamps performed
on the petals of the shaft tulip.
WHEN DISMOUNTING, DO NOT

REMOUNTING
The mounting of the new bellows is to be
performed by means of the PF 573 – 04 device.
Catch the inclined transmission in a vice with
soft jaws in order to avoid the shaft damaging.
Engage the PF 537 – 04 device over the tulip
of the transmission shaft.
Obturate the small extremity of the bellows
and, abundantly grease with automatic
transmission oil or ELF CARDREXA RNT 2
grease:
- the all outer surface of the PF 537 – 04
device,
- the inner part of the bellows, especially its
smaller diameter part (this operation is performed
for slipping help).

Introduce the smaller diameter of the
bellows on the PF 537 – 04 device.
Cover a hand with clean gauze and place
it on the bellows in such a way as to stretch
the first fold.
Take support with the hip on the edge of
the vice (lateral side).
Place the other hand around the first one
and strongly pull it, taking care that first fold
is not huddled together.
Bring the bellows as close as possible to
the device cylindrical part and let it release till
half stroke.
It is recommended to perform many times
this operation (maximum 5 times).
When easy slipping is noticed, make so
that bellows is passing over the device
cylindrical part, the operation being
performed without stopping.
