Removal
1. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Loosen the right front wheel nuts.
3. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on stands.
4. Remove the front right wheel.
5. Remove the right front inner mudguard (see illustration).
11.5. To get to the anti-vibrator, you will need to unscrew the bolts (shown by arrows), remove mudguard
6. Remove the poly V-belt (see chapter 1, section 21).
7. Make a vibration damper holder from a 3-foot (92 cm) long piece of angle iron, drilling two holes in one end of it, spaced apart at a distance equal to the distance between the puller holes on the vibration damper body. Attach the corner to the anti-vibrator with two bolts of the required size and, holding the anti-vibrator with it, loosen the bolt securing the anti-vibrator to the crankshaft (see illustration). You can do it differently: remove the flywheel inspection hatch cover (see chapter 2, part 2.3, section 5) and insert the blade of a large screwdriver between the teeth to keep the crankshaft from turning while your assistant loosens the anti-vibration mounting bolt.
11.7. To unscrew the bolt securing the anti-vibrator to the crankshaft, make a holder from a piece of angle iron, drilling two holes in one end of it that match the holes for installing the puller in the anti-vibrator housing. Then attach the holder with two bolts to the anti-vibrator and begin to unscrew the mounting bolt
8. Remove the anti-vibration element from the crankshaft using a bolt-type puller (see illustration). Leave the woodruff key in place on the crankshaft end.
11.8. To remove the anti-vibrator itself, use a special puller, which is bolted to the anti-vibrator hub. When performing this procedure, do not use a pliers-type puller, as it can easily damage the anti-vibrator
Warning! When performing this procedure, do not use pliers, as they can easily damage the anti-vibrator.
Installation
9. Installation is carried out in reverse order. Do not forget to apply a layer of universal grease to the contact surface of the anti-vibration hub with the seal (otherwise, the sealing lip may be damaged, which will lead to oil leakage). Align the keyway in the anti-vibration hub with the woodruff key.
10. Tighten the anti-vibration damper mounting bolt to the crankshaft to the torque specified in the specifications given in this chapter.
11. The remaining parts are installed in the reverse order.
