Installation of new hinges
After disassembling the drive, it is necessary to install new parts and reassemble the transmission in the reverse order. Replacement is done as follows:
- The small clamp is put on the axle shaft first, followed by a new boot. The clamp must be placed around the end of the casing and tightened. It is better to turn the boot in the other direction so as not to interfere with the installation of the hinge.
- Add SHRUS-4 lubricant to the hinge mechanism. According to the instructions, there should be at least 40 cm³ in the outer grenade, and 80 cm³ of thick lubricant in the inner grenade.
- Place the grenade on the shaft, making sure the splines match. Using a wooden adapter, press it as far as possible with gentle hammer blows.
- Pull the boot onto the grenade, apply a large clamp and tighten it. In the same order, the operation is performed on the other side of the axle shaft.
Now the drive assembly can be put into place. In order not to confuse the hinges, you should follow the mark placed on the axle during disassembly. The assembly is mounted into place from the inspection ditch, the splined part of the internal grenade being inserted first. To seat it in the slots all the way, you will have to rest the axle on the lower lever and apply several blows with a hammer through a piece of wood from the other side. Further assembly proceeds in reverse order.

Good luck on the roads. No nail, no rod.
How to remove the timing belt cover? What kind of star is there? This is not a hexagon. And how to approach the lower casing bolts if there are close spaces there? Don't approach. You won't get it with a screwdriver. Ratchet? I remember changing the timing belt at a car service center, they unscrewed the bolts either with a ratchet, or with some kind of wrench, or something, in the shape of the letter “G”. If this is a key, then maybe it has a special name? What is the size of the “screwdriver”/wrench? Can you provide a link with a photo?
One more question. Already washed out, but still. Priora / Granta - on which engine does the valve bend when the timing belt breaks - 8 or 16 valve?
One of the latest developments by VAZ engineers of the last decade is the 21126 engine, which became the main power unit on the VAZ-2170. Here, cylinder honing and new pistons were used, which contributed to an increase in power. However, a banal break in the gas distribution mechanism drive will damage the components of even such a technologically advanced unit. Therefore, it is better to check and change this component of the system in advance.
