Power shaft with the internal hinge of the star type (the tripodny hinge)


1 — a cuff collar 2 — a cuff collar 3 — a bracket 4 — the hinge case 5 — a lock ring 6 — the tripodny hinge 7 — a cuff 8 — a collar	9 — a counterbalance only on the right side 10 — a cuff collar 11 — a cuff collar 12 — a cuff 13 — the external hinge with shaft. (Whenever possible not to assort to grease. To use greasing from a repair kit.)

Power shaft with the internal spherical hinge


1 — a cuff collar 2 — a bracket 3 — an external holder 4 — a lock ring 5 — an internal holder 6 — a separator 7 — balls 8 — a cuff collar	9 — a cuff 10 — a cuff collar 11 — a counterbalance Only on the right side: 12 — a cuff collar 13 — a cuff 14 — the external hinge with shaft Whenever possible not to assort.

Depending on model the power shafts having difference in the internal hinge are established: power shafts with the internal spherical hinge are established on cars to 9/89 g вып. and on the versatile person model with a mechanical transmission. Power shafts with tripodny hinges are established on cars from 10/89 g вып., except the versatile person models. All all-wheel drive cars have power shafts with internal spherical hinges, in connection with intermediate shaft for the right power shaft.

Check

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Visually to check cuffs, faulty cuffs at once to replace. For replacement of casings the power shaft should be removed and disassembled. As the external hinge should not understand, for removal of its cuff it is necessary to remove and a cuff of the internal hinge.

The removed power shaft to clamp in a vice with laying and to check mobility of hinges.

To stretch and compress the external hinge a hand, it should not have люфта. The internal tripodny hinge should move on a shaft. To try to turn the internal hinge on a shaft. It should not have notable radial люфта. If at check malfunctions are revealed, it is necessary to replace a power shaft.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Before removal of a shaft to mark its provision of rather external holder.

To hook a lock bracket a flat screw-driver. To remove the internal hinge.

To compress a lock ring of an internal holder suitable nippers and to remove it. To put with a label center punch concerning a shaft that it was possible to establish it in former situation.

To bring down an internal holder from a shaft by means of a hammer and a brass core.

If necessary to disassemble an internal holder. For this purpose to insert a narrow screw-driver between an internal holder and a separator and to squeeze out balls.

To mark the provision of a separator of rather internal holder. To turn a separator on 30 ° and to remove from an internal holder.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

To mark the provision of a counterbalance on a shaft that it was possible to establish it on a former place.

The external hinge should not understand.

Carefully to wipe internal cavities of the hinge, internal details, flanges, caps and cuffs. To remove old greasing with solvent or the compressed air. If dirt got into the hinge, to wash out it. To check working surfaces on wear existence, if necessary to replace the hinge.

Assembly

PERFORMANCE ORDER

The cracked and faulty cuffs to replace. In any case it is necessary to replace all collars of cuffs, and also lock rings.

Slightly to grease a shaft surface that cuffs slid better. Besides to wrap up shlitsa of a shaft a polymeric tape that at installation of a cuff not to damage it.

To put on a cuff of the external hinge with collars, collars still not to fix yet. Not to mix a cuff of hinges: To pick up a cuff according to external diameter of the hinge, the table belongs to cars from 10/89 g вып. (except the versatile person models).

Engine	diameter And, mm	diameter In, mm
1,3 l. Diesel engine	82,0	85,3

1 — the left power shaft

The direction of installation of collars corresponds to shaft rotation forward, i.e. the bent end of collars should be turned in the direction of rotation of a shaft.

Right power shaft:

PERFORMANCE ORDER

To put on an asterisk a power shaft, the marks of a center punch put at removal thus should coincide. To hammer an asterisk on a shaft a hammer and a brass core. Thus not to apply force, to establish a core serially on various points.

To insert into a shaft groove a new lock ring.

To fill cavities of the external hinge between internal details from both parties special greasing (black color). To watch, that whenever possible less greasing got to cuffs. Special greasing is put in a repair kit of cuffs of MAZDA. To distribute all amount of greasing, about 80 g; SOHC engine of 1,9 l: 140 g.

To distribute on the case of the internal hinge also all greasing from a repair kit (yellow color). Amount of greasing of 130 g; except the right power shaft of the SOHC engine of 1,9 l: 220 g.

To insert a hinge asterisk into the case in the same situation as at removal and to pull a cuff.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

To fix cuffs on big diameter collars. Cuffs should sit reliably in shaft grooves. To bend collars of cuffs a screw-driver and to fix, having bent fastenings.

To shift cuffs on small diameter to a label or a groove on a shaft. Cuffs in the established condition should not be neither are stretched, nor compressed. A few to raise a cuff on small diameter a small screw-driver, to compensate pressure. Then to pull a collar of a cuff and to fix it. To establish a power shaft.
