29BELLOWS TO GEARBOX
Using a press, extract the assembled tripod, sustain it on an extractor type FACOM U
53 G, protecting the clogs of the tri pod.
REMOUNTING
Grease the transmission shaft to help the protection bellows putting back (positionin g
of the smallest diameter of the bellows on the transmission shaft).
The tripod is fixe d an d mo unted in the posi tion mark ed on dis mount ing.
Thr ee po in ts of crim pin g ar e mad e at 12 0 ° C by met al he ad ing of the tran sm iss ion
shaft grooves .
Distribute the grease prescribed quantity in the bellows and in the tulip casing .
Correctly position the bellows in the tulip-casing place.
A non-cutting, round-headed rod is introduced between the bellows and the tulip casing
to dose the air amount contained insid e the bellows. Len gthen or co mp re ss the bel l ows un ti l va lu e A = 19 0 mm is obt ained (t he va lue
between the extremity of the bellows and the extremity of the tulip casing) then from this
position extract the rod and remount the collars.

6. Protection rubber bellows
DISMOUNTING
Dismount the two m aintaining collars using two rod s locally produced (see the method
previously descri bed for dismounting the joint GE, left transmission). Cut and remove the damaged bellows.
Take out maximum of grease.
In order to re place t he joint GE prot ection be llows, i t i s necessary to dismount/remount
the GI joint parts (see the method pre viously descri bed).
REMOUNTING
Grease the rod of t ransmission shaft with grease.
Introduce the protection bellows of the GE joint.
Di stribute the prescri bed dosage of grease for GE joint.
Position the bellows beads in the grooves of the steering knuckle casi ng, consequently
on the t ransmission shaft t ube and mount t he collars (see t he method descri bed at mounting
GE joint bellows, left transm ission).

CHARACTERISTICS
The front axle is composed of two joint half axles with independents wheels, designed for the
suspension type Mc.Pherson.
The joints of front half axle arm are done by means of an elastic bear ing (chassis side) and
by means of a suspension ball joint (wheel side)
The transmission of the motion to the wheels is done by means of two planetary axles, not
equal, with homocinetic tripod joints.
The wheel hub is assembled in the steering knuckle by means of a preset and sealed
bearing. The brake disks are aerated.

DISMOUNTING
Disconnect the battery.
Lift the vehicle by means of an elevator with
two column. Dismou nt :
- the wheel
- the brake disk assembly together with
the flexible connection;.
- the transmission gear nut.
- the brake disk a ssembly by means by
means of the PF 600 extractor.
Continue by dismounting t he steering
knuckle, observing the operations sequence: - dismount the steering ball joint nut;
- depre ss the steeri ng ball joint by
means of the PF 476 extractor;
- dismount the t wo screws that attach
the steering knuckle on the shock absorber; - dismount the attachment screws that
attach the steering ball joint – steering knuckle;
- detach the steering knuckle.

Lift the vehicle in the part where perfo rming
the dismounting. Dismo unt :
- the wheel
- the two lower a ttachment screws of
the shock absorber leg (1 ).
- the two upper a ttachment screws of
the shock absorber on the carriage body (2).
T ake out the assembly spring – shock
absorber, by pressing on the lower arm in
order to avoid the shock absorber came in
contact with the transmission bellows.
SEPARATE SPRING FROM SHOCK ABSORBER
Place t he shoc k absorbe r on t he shoc k
absorber support (4), of the base plate (3) of
the SU S 600 device.
Place the compression plate (7) on the spring
upper catch and position t he rods gri ps (8) on
the spring lower last but one coil. Com p re ss t he sp ri ng by a l t e rna t i ve l y
tightening the nuts (9) till release it from the lower
plate of t he shock absorber. Dismo unt the upper attachment nut of the shock
absorber by means of the SUS 601 wrench.
T ake out the spring.
Place the spring on the SUS 600 de v ice shaft (2).
P ut on the shaft the lock bushing (6), the spacer (5), and tighten to the required moment t he
crank (1) till the lock bushing (6) comes into contact with the upper catch of the shock absorber.
U nscrew alternatively the nuts (9) and take out the plate (7 ) and the rods grips (8).
Release the spring by means of the crank (1) and detach from the shaft (2), the upper catch of

OLLISION DIAGNOSIS
Du ring the vehicle exploitation, the carriage body may suffer different distortions, that
lead many times to the wheels setting angles change, body elements breakage, vibra tions
or even mechanical parts wear. In these conditions, be fore performing the vehicle body re paration, some checking is
necessary:
Visual checking - consisting in the e xamination of the mechanical elements attachments
and of the distortions occurring in the vehicle damaged areas.
Checking with the bar (control gauge) – consisting in comparing the measurements
done in symmetric points. The ge ometry checking of t he rol ling t ransmissions – this checking is t he only one
enabling to find out if the body damage was not affecting the vehicle road behavior.
IMP ORTANT
This checking must be not ignored, except some border-line cases, the checking of
the rolling transmissions leading to t he identification of the distortions occurred further
to an accident.
