4.7 DRIVE
SHAFT C/W GEARS
Like the driven shoft, i. e. the pinion
with
geors, the drive shoft with its geors
forms o
unit to be instolled
in the georboi.
For ossemb-
ling the drive
shoft, use
ogoin the work
bench
ond-o press.
When replocing
one of the drive
shoft geors
with o new
one, it is necessory
to
renew olso its meshing geor
on the driven shoft
(pinion).
Assembling Drive Shoft
1. Using o grindstone,
chomfer the shorp
ed-
ges of both geors
ot the point
of their inner
cylindricol bores ond the
loterol
chomfer of
these bores.
. 2.
H,ug-t up the 3rd-speed
geor
to o tempero_
ture of-80 up to 100oC,
insert it
with the longer
side of the inner heod f irst into
the Mp 3-106
support ond shrink-f
it the shoft.'Use
the other
port of the support,
the buttress plote,
slipped
over the sphericol
end of the diive shoit'os
o thrust pod
between the shrink-fitted
shoft
ond the press
spindle.
3. Heot up the 4th-speed
geor
like the previ-
9t1;. geor
ond shrink-fit it on the shoft _
see Fig.
4.7t2.
4. Press the boll beoring
with its outer thrust
ring owoy from the shoft
to the th-speed
geon,
ond onother
boll beoring
to the 1st-sireed
[eor.
Use the other
holf of the Mp 3-106
supporl
for
pressing-on the beorings.
.5. Clomp
the shoft in o vice (providing
the
v.ice iows with sheet
linings)
Uy'the floriks of
the 4th-speed geor
ond tighteh
the nut. Hommer
down the nut neck into
the shoft qroove.
Use o new nut if the neck
of thle
old one is
domoged.
Eliminote ony stress
resulting
from shrinking
on the geors
by topping
the geors
ond the shofl
willr o mollet. Dismontling
Drive Shoft
1. Clomp the shoft in o vice ocross
the foce
of the 4th-speed geor
ond screw off the nut.
Instoll the shoft in the Mp 3-106
support
by the
outer beoring roce ond press
off the beoring.
2. Press the shoft out of the beorings
by
plocing the support
successively
under the
in-
dividuol geors
ond the second beoring. protect
the shoft sphericol

the lotest design permits
its
simple fostening by engogement with
the holf-
oxle flonge (fit
the

Instoll the lorger liner between the boll
beor-
irrg ond the

press
the boll
beorirrg
on the shoft by turning the iig wrench.
3. Reploce the lorger liner with the smoller
one (rest it ogoinst the
iig bolt heod), ond turn
the wrench in the opposite direction to press
the beoring into the holf-oxle socket.
Fitting Broke Mechonism ond Wheel Hub
4. Instoll the broke bocking plote
complete
with the broke
mechonism on the holf-oxle
socket, slip on the "O"
seoling ring ond the
cop with the seoling ring (with
the tightening
f in focing toword the holf-oxle), ond fosten
oll
the porrts
with bolts, spring woshers, ond
nuts.
The seoling ring should be driven or pressed
into the cop so thot the tightening lip foces the
beoring ond
iust so thot there

1 to 2 mm between the pocking
ond the cop

5. lnsert the key in
the shoftwith its bevelled
end into the runout of the keywoy, smeor
the
hub neck with oil so
thot it does not
drog in
the seoling ring, ond fit the hub with the broke
drum in position.
Moke sure thot the key did
not move further olong the shoft (its
lifted end
in the keywoy would couse the hub to burst)
ond tighten
lightly the nut. Since o high
torque
is required
for finol tightening of the nut, put
off the tightening ond locking of the nut till
ofter instollotion in the cor. Then
tighten the
nut with full torque (see
Chopter 1.8),
top on
the hub to relieve
the possive
stress of the
toper, retighten to the specified torque, ond
lock the nut with o cotter pin.
Fitting Rodius Arms
6. Instoll
the spocer into the rodius
orm, fit
the knurled
woshers (with
the knurling toword
the orm)
to either side of the ellipticol holes of
the rodius
orm, ond fosten them with bolts ond
nuts not
forgetting the spring woshers. Do not
tighten the connection fully. Threod
the bolts
through the bolt holes so thot their nuts foce
into the cor ofter fitting the rodius orm to the
holf-oxle.
Fit the rodius
arm on the protruding
holf-oxle
pin ond threod
the bolt through the hole
of the

spocing tubes on the bolt ond pin
together with sheet shims with rubber liners
ond fosten
lightly (without tightening)
the

The most importont points

Adiust first the comber

We refroin from describing in detoil ony
meosuring method in view
of the lorge number
of existing gouges.
Insteod,
we odvise you
to refer to
the procedures recommended
by the
monufocturers of the gouges.
The check lood con be formed by blocking the
wishbones with bors occording to
Fig. 6.1/5.
Press down the cor with the hond, insert
the
bors under the wishbones so
thot they
beor
ogoinst the oxle brocket, ond releose the cor
to
let the bors be clomped. lf
clomping of the
bors
does not toke ploce
(which con hoppen on on
older cor with weokened springs),
consider the
condition os if the bors were
clomped, i. e',
corresponding to the position of the
front oxle
ot check looding.
The words "ot
full lood" describe o vehicle
looded so thot the distonce of the rubber deod
stop from the bottom of the
lower wishbone
stop is 20 mm (see olso porogroph
18) ond the
comber ongle of the reor wheels is 1". Meosure
these volues on oll wheels (not
only one front
ond one reor wheel) ond distribute the
lood os
necessory.
Toe-in To odiust the toe-in, screw
the right-hond ond
left-hond steering rods
symmetricolly (o
chonge
up to 1 mm con be effected by
one rod) ot
check lood so thot the distonce between the
wheel rims (or
ocross them) behind the oxle
(A+o) is lorger by the toe-in volue (o)
thon the
distonce between the rims
in front of the oxle
(A). To verify steering symmetry (correct screw-
ing of steering rods during
toe-in odiusting),
check the wheel lock position ot the
20" lock
ongle of the neorside wheel -
for the respective
volues refer to Chopter 1.7.
Slocken the steering rod

ottention to
severol essentiol
points when checking the wheel
olignment:
o) Ploce thewheel in the stroight oheod trovel'

b) The

must
not
be stressed. The stress con be eliminoted by
letting the cor swing

(olternotely press down ond releose
the

c) Prepore the oxle os

Before discon-
necting the hose, cleon thoroughly the hose

remove the oxle from the cor ond dismontle it
on the stond.
Dismontling Wheel Hubs

2. Toke out the inner port
of the outer beor-
ing, then the seoling ring, ond, f
inolly, the inner

rother doubtful (for
exomple,
o distortion is
suspected os o result of o crosh), inspect them
corefully ond stroighten
them, if necessory.
5. Press rubber bushes into the eyes from the
outer side. To focilitote their sliding in, dip
them in petrol
or soop
woter (suds).
Put the
bushes into the wishbone eyes with their lorger
diometer first ond push
them so for thot they
protrude from the eye by the some length on
either side. Blow off the soop woter with com-
pressed oir so thot it does no ossist the slipping
of the bush during the next operotion.
6. Slip the spocing tube on the MP 6-122 driIt,
dip the drift in petrol

it through the rubber
bush, press
the spocing
tube into the bush.
Before pressing
it in, turn the spocing tube so
thot the

8. Push the brockets towords the eyes ond
slip two circlips on the norrowest port
of the
pin. To slip them on, hold them with their un-
connected ends on the pin
ond press
down. Use
o screwdriver to move one of the circlips into
the groove
of the pin,
ond push
the pin
with the
circlip in position
into the brocket. Clomp the
other brocket with the wishbone eye
in o vice
to compress the rubber bush, ond slip on the
other circlip. 9. lnsert the rubber deod stop into the wish'
bone.

spring woshers of the lug bolts. Instoll, from
obove, one 'l
mm or one 3 mm open (horseshoe)
wosher or the previously
removed woshers on
the horizontcrl bolts between the brocket ond
the oxle body lug. First tighten the horizontol ond then the ver-
ticol bolts. Fit the
cups on the wishbone pin
ond screw
down both nuts.
Refitting Lower Wishbones
11. Inspect the wishbones os per porogroph 4.
lnsert rubber bushes in

bone fnom its inner side. Threod the wishbone
pin through the eye, slip
on it the cup os with
the upper wishbone, then two pin
holders with
the recesses ot the inner hole focing eoch

by threoding the wishbone pin
through the
other eye. 12. Slip circlips on the wishbone pin
