Withdrawal
1. Loosen the nuts connecting the top of the rack (in assembly) with a car.
2. Raise and secure the vehicle so that the body rests on stands.
3. Remove wheels.
4. Remove the brake caliper and hang the caliper in the space of the wheel well so that the caliper does not pull on the brake hose.
5. Disconnect the ABS speed sensor electrical connector, if applicable.
6. Remove a nut of fastening of a spherical support to a rotary fist.
Attention: to disconnect the ball joint from the steering knuckle, use a special puller. Otherwise, the hinge and its cover may be damaged.
7. Separate a rotary fist from a spherical hinge.
8. Disconnect the tie rod end from the steering knuckle.
Caution: Pay attention to prevent over-tensioning of the drive shafts. Constant-velocity joint (SHRUS) can be separated by applying large longitudinal forces. Disengagement will damage the hinge. In addition, when carrying out any work on or near the drive shafts, use protective equipment for the anthers of the CV joint.
9. Remove the splined part of the CV joint from the front wheel hub and secure it with a suspension to prevent the anthers from being pulled on or the inner CV joint from disconnecting from the gearbox.
10. Lower the car in order to get access to the nuts and washers securing the rack to the body.
Attention: chipping of the spring cover may cause subsequent corrosion of the spring.
11. Remove nuts of fastening of a rack to a body.
