Removing
The pivot must be disassembled to change the grease if heavily soiled, and to check the ball contact surfaces for wear and pitting.
Rotate the cage and separator.
Pic. 3.104. Removing the cage and separator
Remove the cage with separator and balls in the direction of the arrow (pic. 3.104).
Remove the balls from the cage.
Note: Cage and separator matched to each other (selective assembly). Do not install parts from other hinges.
Pic. 3.105. Recesses for balls
Remove the cage from the cage using the ball slots (pic. 3.105).
Check body, cage, cage and balls for pits (pitting) and signs of heavy wear.
An increase in play in the hinge is indicated by the appearance of a knock in turns. In such cases, the hinge must be replaced. The matting of the surface of the balls and the presence of tracks from them are not a reason to replace the hinge.
Installation
Pic. 3.106. Installation of balls
Using the two ball slots, insert the cage into the cage. Installation position is optional. Set the balls in the cage (pic. 3.106).
The holder has 2 different distances between the centers of the recesses for the balls - more and less.
Pic. 3.107. Clip installation scheme
Place the cage and cage with balls into the joint body, perpendicular to its plane, with a small distance B directed towards the outer part of the cage (pic. 3.107).
It is also necessary to monitor the position of the chamfer in the slotted hole of the cage. The bevel must be visible (is outside) when turning the clip parallel to the plane of the hinge body.
Pic. 3.108. Clip rotation
Rotate the cage so that it comes out of the separator as much as possible (pic. 3.108).
Press firmly on the cage to rotate it to the correct position along with the cage and balls.
