DRIVESHAFTS
Front driveshafts
REFITTING
Left side :
Fit the driveshaft as horizontally as possible.
Right side :
Coat the splines of the joint on the gearbox side
with
MOLYKOTE BR2 grease.
Fit the driveshaft and check its positioning : an-
gled pin B. Vi. 31-01.
Fit two new roll pins : B. Vi. 31-01. Seal the roll pin
holes using
RHODORSEAL 5661.
On both sides :
Fit the driveshaft stub axle into the hub, it should
go in easily.
Refitting is the reverse of removal. Observe the
tightening torques.
Top up the gearbox oil.
Press the brake pedal several times in order to
bring the piston into contact with the pads.

REMOVAL
Vehicle on a two post lift.
Drain the gearbox.
Remove :
- the brake assembly (suspend it from the
chassis),
- the driveshaft nut : tool Rou. 604-01.
Left side :
Remove the three bolts on the gearbox.
Right side :
Remove the roll pin : tool B. Vi. 31-01.
On both sides :
Remove :
- The track rod end nut and extract the shaft :
tool T. Av. 476,
- the upper bolt of the shock absorber base.
Push back the driveshaft : tool T. Av. 1050-02.
Remove the lower bolt of the shock absorber
base and extract the driveshaft.

REFITTING
For its correct positioning on the shaft, the
bearing must be pressed on to obtain a distance
of L = 118 ± 0.2 mm between the rear part of
the bearing and the end of the shaft.
This measurement is obtained using the tool T.
Av. 1331 when its extremity is level with the
shaft.

REMOVAL
Remove the circlip.
On the press, remove the spider using an
extractor.
NOTE : mark the position of the spider before
extracting it.
Remove the gaiter and deflector - bearing
assembly in the same way as for the spider.
NOTE : in order to avoid deformation of the bea-
ring with a lip seal, and therefore any risk of lea-
kage, do not press it on using a hammer, but using
a press, in order to apply progressive pressure.
The driveshaft is held in the press using the slot
(G) with an extractor.
Replace the spider in the position marked on
removal and refit the retaining circlip.

DRIVESHAFTS
Front driveshafts
Remove the gaiter and replace with a new one.
Divide the recommended dose of grease
between the gaiter and the stub axle bowl.
NOTE : it is imperative to respect the volume of
grease prescribed in the consumables section.
Position the two beads of the gaiter in the
grooves of the stub axle bowl.
Set the quantity of air in the gaiter.
Fit and tighten the clips.

it will be necessary to remove the parts on the
gearbox side (GI 69 joint) (see method previously
described).

DRIVESHAFTS
Front driveshafts
REFITTING
Slightly lubricate the driveshaft in order to facili-
tate the fitting of the gaiter (position the smaller
diameter of the gaiter in the groove of the drives-
haft).
Replace the spider in the position marked on
removal and replace the locking spring ring.
Make three crimping points at 120° by forcing
back the metal of the splines on the driveshaft.
Fit the yoke sleeve onto the spider.
Divide the dose of grease between the gaiter and
the yoke sleeve.
Position the gaiter correctly on its grooves.
Introduce a blunt rod with a rounded edge bet-
ween the gaiter and the yoke sleeve, in order to
measure the quantity of air contained inside the-
joint.
Lengthen or shorten the joint until you obtain the
measurement A = 190 mm (measurement taken
between the end of the joint and the face of the
smaller diameter of the yoke sleeve).
In this position, remove the rod.
