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

DEFORM THE ARMS OF THE RETAINING

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).

Bellows to wheel

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.
