Removal and disassembly of the ZIL-5301 diesel engine

To dismantle the power unit, it is recommended to install the bus on an inspection pit, above which there is a lifting device

The mass of the power unit assembly without refueling and oil is 600 kg, therefore, to dismantle it, it is necessary to have a lifting device with a lifting capacity of at least 1 t; the height to the hook must be at least 2 m.

Dismantling a diesel engine from a car or bus using a lifting device is shown in Fig. 1

Before dismantling the power unit from a car or bus, it is necessary to drain the coolant from the cooling system, and also drain the oil from the diesel engine crankcase and gearbox.

The coolant is drained through two drain cocks.

When disassembling, it is recommended to place small parts in a separate container, and when disconnecting wires from electrical equipment, install screws and nuts in their original position and tighten by hand.

Before dismantling the power unit, the following preparatory work must be performed:

  • - remove the battery compartment hatch cover and disconnect the wires from the positive battery pole, remove the starter wire, disconnect the ground with a switch;
  • - lift hood of a car or bus and disconnect the wires from the instruments and adapter blocks, loosening the screws of the clamping clamps, disconnect the hoses of the liquid and oil radiators and the tube with hoses going to the heater;
  • - disconnect the blind drive cable (if any) and remove it together with the casing from the opening in the front wall of the cabin;
  • - dismantle the plumage;

Carefully lifting the power unit by the eyebolts with a lifting device (see Fig. 1), remove it from the frame of the car or bus under the engine cross member, unscrewing the bolts of its fastening, and, moving the power unit forward, remove it from the car or bus.

Then install the power unit on a special trolley for transportation to the disassembly site.

Dismantling instruments and external units from a diesel engine

Before disassembling, the diesel engine must be cleaned of dirt and oil, washed with kerosene or a degreasing solution.

It is recommended to use cleaning solutions for washing MS-6 or MS-8 TU 6-15-978-76 with a concentration of 20-30 g/l at a temperature of 90-100 °C.

Then blow out the diesel with compressed air.

It is recommended to remove instruments and units from the diesel on a stationary rotary stand mod. OPR-989.

The gearbox must be removed from the diesel before installing the diesel to the stand.

The diesel engine rotates around the horizontal axis of the stand using a worm gear located on the stand.

When disassembling or assembling, the diesel engine must be fixed in any position when the worm gear is braking.

During disassembling the diesel engine, all parts suitable for further operation must be protected from damage.

The parts and standard parts removed from the diesel engine must be placed in a specially prepared container in which they are transported for washing, checking and troubleshooting operations.

Most diesel engine parts are interchangeable, but some require individual adjustment with the mating part.

When dismantling the gearbox, it is necessary to:

  • - unscrew the gearbox mounting nuts with an open-end wrench;
  • - disconnect the PGU rod by removing the pin from the clutch fork lever;
  • - disconnect the box from the clutch housing using a mounting blade and, while rocking it, remove it with a hoist or using a hydraulic lift. In this case, pay attention to the position of the clutch release fork.

To dismantle the clutch housing, remove the clutch housing cover, unscrew the bolts securing the housing to the rear sheet and remove it from the mounting pins.

To dismantle the clutch, use an end wrench to unscrew the bolts securing the clutch housing, remove the pressure plate assembly with the housing and clutch release lever, and remove the driven disk assembly.

  When removing the oil filter, you must:

  • - unscrew the bolts securing the filter housing;
  • - remove the filter from the diesel engine together with the sealing gasket,

  When dismantling the starter, you must:

  • - unscrew the bolts and nuts securing the starter to the clutch housing;
  • - remove the starter from the socket crankcase,

To remove the generator, you should:

  • - unscrew the tension bar mounting bolt;
  • - unscrew the nuts securing the generator to the bracket;
  • - remove the generator and generator drive belts, releasing the generator pulley from the drive belts.

After this, you need to remove the generator brackets from the diesel engine by unscrewing the bolts securing them.

When dismantling the fan and liquid pump, you need to do the following:

  • - unscrew the bolts securing the fan to the pulley;
  • - remove the fan;
  • - unscrew the bolts securing the liquid pump housing to the end of the block;
  • - remove the pump with gaskets.
