AR 164 3,0 V6 1991 ABS.
Hub , bearing and ABS connector.
The holy grail a hydraulic press 12 tons .
"You never know when you need an iron pipe Terkel !"
A very sweet danish cartoon , here in italian of course.
På dansk.
Well its really not funny when you pull a wheelbolt of and the threads are shot and the next too you really want the wheels to stay on the car.
Shocking bad bolts to the left , new on the right
164.1
You are going to need espresso and some spare parts.
Hubs ,bearing aksel nut.
164.2
Hub nice clean threads
164.3
Get them, sooner or later you are gonna need them ...
Torque 356 - 400 Nm..
164.4
Thats whats missing in the old one
THREADS. 164.5
YTools 3/4 " breaker bar 36 mm socket,waterpipe sliding hammer.
"You never know when you need an iron pipe Terkel !"ou might have to reduce outer diameter.
164.6 Extension 164.7
Patience a lot it has to be done with the wheel on the car and the weight of it on the ground.
164.8 center cap of
Chisel , screwdriver along the groove in the driveshaft
164.9
Its a lot of gravity you need on a very long ( extended ) breakerbar.Emergency brakes on ,neutral gear you really do not want to risk timingbelt slip
Torque 356 - 400 Nm. 164.10
Well that one was easy.
Hubnut close up pretty beat up. 164.11
Plan B what if the nut is ruined , drillbit,oil , try two places
1 At the broad base of the nut just close to the groove in the shaft
2 Along the groove in the driveshaft
5,5 mm drillbit 164.12
A chisel and a hammer.Here a very nice 16 mm wide chisel
Split the bolt. Along the groove.
164.13
Right there two holes one along the groove , yes it looks messy try to chisel and hammer it anticlockwise. Then put your socket back on and it will come of.
164.14
164.15
164.16
Sliding hammer in position using wheelbolts to fix it to the hub pull the hammer many many many times .
And then some .
IT is eventually going to get off. It really is !
Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaah , hub off. 164.12
The bearing is next step , you have to get the whole unit off.
Bearings Mapco to the left , including retainer ring and hub nut. Alfa Part to the right , dissapointing
164.13
164.14
Strut off you can choose to remove the entire unit , starting at the top , mark the bracket position through the hole.
164.15
Looosen all 4 bolts , breaker bar , need more space , turn the unit out from the wheelarch.
164.16
Tie rod end , nut loosen , try hammering ,CAREFUL
164.17
ABS sensor you really dont want to break the ABS sensor.
That one 164.18
Try this it works, apply pressure and the a whack with the hammer 164.19
The play in this is way too much
ABS wire , weel its at the inner wing , behind the inner plastic lining and that is behind the brake hose bracket , got it .
The bracket is of course welded to the inner body work.........
Disconnect the clamp securing the brake hoses to the bracket , just pull towards yourself 164.20
push the assembly down , 11 mm and 17 mm ringspanner will just fit inside the bracket,
164.21
Use a cap that fits , here a valve cap. Then push the brakeline up and out of the bracket.
Undo several completely wasted screws with a screwdriver , Phillips 2 or give up and cut them with your new seconbest friend a Dremel and a cutting disc.
164.22
Gentely pull and rotate forwards and the inner plastic will come of,
164.23
ABS wire through inner wing you could try to remove from hub , but you better have a new one ready, its stuck due to rust
164.24
Pull ABS connection here and slide it down , mine is to bad to be shown.
164.25
OK OK , This really isnt funny , its impossible to scource and its important , Ill have to find a high quality weather proof two pin replavement of some sort.
164.26
Back to the mechanical parts this has too much play in it 164.27
Lower ball joint same procedure . Or loosen the three bolts at the base 164.28
This works buy that tool
Clean the C lock ring , WD 40 spray and pray. 164.29
Well I thought I had a tool for compressing that C ring , but it didnt work.
If you have a new one , try this.
It will drive you mad , but again patience . 164.30
Again clean .
If you are loking for the rigt press tool it's Ø 72 mm in diameter.
164.31
Actully the hammer suceeded in the quest of loosening the bearing from the unit , used the press for the rest. NOTE THE ORIENTATION OF THE UNIT OUTSIDE UP. PRESSING THE BEARING OUT ON THE INSIDE. 164.32
Orientation is important , Water reservoir underneath Hagia Sophia Istanbul
INNNER SIDE OF THE UNIT NOTE THE 2 MM LIP.
164.33
Clean the inside.
Take care of the retaining ring groove , a screwdriver or similar.
164.34
And whatever is not shiny , remowe it. Sanding sheet , note the lip from the inside , clean it.
164.35
You can paint it or not, my paintbox was kind of thirsty for more.
Time to cool a bit , have an ice cream , Sicilian.
ABS CONNECTOR
Except for the ABS connection . 164.39
Theese might do the job 164.40
Not funny but this has to work.
164.41
There is nothing left from the body of the connector cut the cable.
PUT the weather seal on and then the pin
164.42
The part onto the insulation has to be circular , that provides the best seal for the silicone seal that has to be slided onto that.
164.43
Neat, pins locked inside the body of the connector remember the orientation when you do the female part of this connection
164.44
164.45
HUB ASSEMBLY
Apply grease just a thin layer , align
164.46
It´s time to some preassure ,center and be shure that all the items are horisontal.
164.47
There has to be room for the retaining lock ring in the groove
164.48
Time for a ring, pliers of a good quality is necessery.Try a screwdriver to press it all the way in along whith the pliers
164.49
The hub , its a long piece so it tilts more easily
164.50
The old bearing suits this supporting task very well , on top somesthing small enough to pas the lockring and support the bearing 164.51
Nicely aligned 164.52
Finally things are back to normal , Close up of inner side , inner race too.
164.53
Outer hub assembly ready for the car
164.54
I´ll be back.
