1671-T and adaptor 6306-T, Fig. Ill.
Mark adjustment shims (3) and (4) location, Fig. IV.
Remove the wheel arm. REFITTING
Note: the RH and LH arms are not alike.
If the wheel arm has been removed following an
impact, it will be necessary to readjust the caster
angle.
Place the expander of tool 6312-T in the wheel arm,
with screw A pointing rearwards, Fig V.
Bring tubes (5) and (6) into contact, Fig. V. In order
to do so:
Fig. VI :
- Grip the arm in a vice,
- Tighten the expandable element by means of
spanner B from tool 6312-T.

REMOVING AND REFITTING
THE DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLIES
Support the front of the vehicle on stands 6602-T.
Release the pressure in the hydraulic system.
Set the height control to the “low” position.
Remove: Fig. I:
- the road wheel,
- the pin and nut lock,
- the nut (35 mm A/F). Retain the wheel hub using
tool 6310-T, Fig. I.
Fig. II,
- suspension cylinder swivel ball maintaining pin (I 1,
- anti-roll bar link-rod nut (2).
Uncouple spherical ball (3) from the anti-roll bar link-
rod by means of puller 6320-T, Fig. Ill: (Screw up
the tool nut to the ball-joint stem and fit the tool “U”
part and spindle).
Disconnect the brake pad wear warning lamp electri-
cal harness.
Take off the brake disc cooling plate securing screws. Extract the nut of the swivel lower ball pin.
Uncouple the swivel lower ball pin with extractor
3312-T or 6323-T (Avoid damaging the ball joint
protection rubber).
Removing the LH drive-shaft assembly:
Push the LH drive shaft (5) aside with a chisel (6),
bearing against the heads of the gearbox flange
screws, Fig. V.
Important : If a few hammer strokes are not enough
to push aside drive shaft (51, the circlip is probably
blocked inside the sun gear. In that case, undo
clamp (4) and remove the transmission without its
drive-shaft, (retrieve the rollerl.
Turn the steering through full lock to the left.
Leave the swivel hanging.
Liberate the LH transmission from the hub and remove
it.
Removing the RH drive-shaft assembly:
Slacken the drive-shaft bearing support nuts (71,
Fig. VI.
Swing through a half turn tie rods (81, so as to release
the bearing outer track.
Withdraw drive shaft (9) from the sun gear. (Remove
the shaft, the o’ring seal, bush, and dust seal).
