We disconnect the intermediate shaft of the steering column from the steering mechanism (see the article, “Removing and installing the Lada Granta steering column”).
To avoid damage to the slip ring on vehicles with an airbag in the steering column, secure the steering shaft from rotation.
We disconnect the steering rods from the steering mechanism (see “How to replace the steering rod of a Lada Granta”).
Using a 13 mm socket wrench with a ratchet, unscrew the two nuts of the right-hand steering gear mounting bracket and remove the bracket.
Remove the left steering gear mounting bracket in the same way.
Cut the clamp with side cutters
Remove the protective cap from the steering mechanism.
Remove the right support
Using side cutters we cut through two plastic clamps securing the protective cover of the steering mechanism on the right 1st and left 2nd sides of the steering mechanism
Remove the protective cover from the steering gear housing
Place FIOL-1 lubricant into the internal cavity of the steering gear housing.
We put a protective cover on the steering mechanism housing. We fix it with new clamps
We secure the steering mechanism with brackets. Tighten the bracket nuts to a torque of 15-18.6 Nm (1.5-1.9 kgf m)
We attach the rod to the steering mechanism.
Attach the intermediate shaft of the steering column to the steering gear shaft.
