To replace the silent block, it is not necessary to remove the beam from the car. We change the silent blocks one by one:
- first one, then the other beam arm.
To perform the work you will need:
- - a stand for the car;
- - a universal cup puller.
Prepare the car for work.
Place the car on a reliable stand and remove the rear wheel.
Disconnect the elastic pressure regulator lever from the shackle.
Disconnect the parking brake cable from the beam and bracket.
Using a 19 mm open-end wrench, loosen the nut while holding the bolt securing the lever to the bracket, using another wrench of the same size, and remove the bolt.
Insert a wooden block between the body and the beam.
At the same time, make sure that the rear wheel brake hose is not stretched
Using a cup puller for wheel hub bearings or suitable pipe sections, press out the silent block towards the car threshold.
Puller bolt The hub bearing does not fit into the silent block hole, so we replace it with a bolt or screw Ø 12 mm. (The cylinder head mounting screw is suitable).
Press the silent block into the puller cup.
Clean the hole for the silent block in the lever from dirt.
The silent block has a stop on one edge, and therefore it should be pressed out only towards the car threshold.
Wet the new silent block and the hole in the beam with soapy water
Insert the silent block into the hole in the lever and press it in with the same puller
Install the lever in the body bracket and secure it with a bolt and nut, without tightening it.
The lever mounting bolt is inserted into the body bracket from the side of the car threshold.
We insert the elastic pressure regulator lever into the earring and fix it with a stopper.
We secure the handbrake cable in the brackets.
We install the wheel and remove the car from the stands.
We press the rear of the car several times to self-install the suspension.
Finally tighten the lever mounting bolt nut with a torque of 66.6-82.3 Nm (6.8-8.4 kgf-m).
We replace the silent block of the second lever in the same way.
