VAZ-2114: replacement of the wheel bearing (instruction). Spare parts for VAZ-2114

By car VAZ 2114, the replacement of the wheel bearing is made in the event of failure. A worn bearing can cause a lot of trouble. It should be noted that the lubricant inside is pressed into the factory, and in the process of operation a new one is not added. Therefore, the drying of the lubricant is possible, and along with the production of balls, this leads to beating and the appearance of vibration. Consequence - extraneous sounds, shaking while driving (especially at high speed). There may also be a slight increase in fuel consumption, excessive heating of the hub and wheel. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out timely repairs and maintenance of VAZ 2114.

Symptoms of bearing failure

The surest sign is the appearance of a peculiar howl that comes from the side of the failed bearing. But do not immediately sound the alarm and drive the car into the car service. VAZ 2114 can be repaired and independently. This does not require a lot of skills: it is enough to be able to work with pullers and keys.

Driving with a worn bearing is undesirable, since eventually it can jam. And if this happens at high speed, then one wheel will stop spinning and the car will lose control. The result - an accident and a huge harm to health. The cost of one bearing is approximately 450-700 rubles (depending on which producer). Therefore, to replace them in a circle, you need a maximum of 2 800 rubles.

Troubleshooting

The first way is to drive at high speed and listen to the sounds. If the suspension of VAZ 2114 has a malfunction, then all at once it becomes clear. The rumble and vibration from the wheel often indicate that the bearing has become unusable. And the longer a broken car is operated, the more powerful the rumble. Therefore, it is desirable to carry out repairs at an early stage of failure. It is also worth noting that when driving with a faulty bearing, the hub is heated more strongly.

To make sure that the sound is really produced by the bearing, it is not necessary to drive the car into the car service. VAZ of any model can be repaired by yourself. And to determine the breakdown and even more so. Pick up the side of the car from which the sound comes. Try to rotate the wheel by hand. Resistance should not be, and if there are jams, then pay attention to what they are caused by - touching the pads or the bearing is to blame. It is possible that the VAZ 2114 suspension is faulty and all sounds emanate from it. Therefore it is necessary to examine everything as thoroughly as possible.

Tools for work

In order to independently repair the VAZ 2114 running gear, you need the following tool:

• Jack - preferably a hydraulic or pneumatic rolling type (with wheels), so it was more convenient to work.
• A set of keys and a screwdriver.
• Pliers, pliers, platypuses.
• Remover for retaining rings.
• Pullers for bearings of front and rear hubs. You can use both different and universal.
• Hammer and several mandrels of different diameters.

It may also be necessary to have a gas bottle with a nozzle. To install a new bearing it was easier, you can warm up the hub a little (but not very much, as the oil seals can melt). Therefore, on a VAZ 2114 car, the replacement of the hub bearing is made as accurately as possible and according to a certain scheme.

Removal of a nave of a back wheel

The algorithm of repair is as follows:

• Loosen the bolts on the wheels.
• Unclip the nut of the hub and loosen it with the "30" key.
• With the help of the jack, the repaired side rises.
• The bolts are loosened and the wheel is removed.
• Further, it is necessary to unscrew the two guides, they keep the drum on the hub. All spare parts VAZ 2114 stack so that not to lose and not to pollute.
• With a small hammer and wooden spacer, remove the drum. Try not to hit it with metal objects: brittle aluminum will begin to break down.
• Completely remove the hub nut.
• Remove the hub with a special puller.

This completes the dismantling procedure. It remains a matter of small - to take out the bearing and install a new one in its place.

Replacement of rear hub bearing

After the hub has been dismantled, it is necessary to remove the locking ring using a puller. You can use the vise: it will be much easier to carry out repairs. Clamp the hub and install a puller on it. It is a long bolt with attachments. With the wrench screw in the nut and squeeze the bearing out of the wheel hub. The process is rather complicated, it takes a lot of effort. If it does not work out, use a spacer and a hammer. Apply a few sharp and strong blows - the bearing will come out of the seat.

After retrieving the old one, you need to put a new one. For this, the same remover is used, only it is installed differently. After all, the goal of the process is installation, not extraction. After assembly: the hub, the new nut, the brake drum, the guides and the wheel are installed. Tighten after lowering the side on the jack. This is how the replacement of the wheel bearing of the rear wheel is made on VAZ 2114. It is advisable to repair immediately on both rear wheels.

Replacement of front wheel bearings

Tools for repairs remain the same, except the puller. If you have a universal, then it is suitable for work. But if for the rear bearings, then no - you will have to purchase another one. The procedure is completely similar, only a disc is installed instead of the drum. Also, it should be noted that the hub is mounted on the external CV joint and is connected to it by means of splines. Otherwise, there are no differences, even the spare parts of the VAZ 2114 are almost the same.

The dimensions of the bearings are different, so you can not install from the rear axle. When working, try not to damage the brake disc. If it has a large output, it is advisable to replace it with a new one. Note that the discs and drums (as well as the pads) should be changed in pairs. That is, if you put new on the left front wheel, please, on the right, too, do it. Otherwise, the appearance of beats, and when braking the machine will pull aside.

Features of the repair

You know how the VAZ 2114 car is replaced with a wheel bearing, now you can talk about some features. Many motorists are improving - put on the rear axle disc brakes. Yes, they give a number of advantages: the braking distance decreases , the replacement of the pads becomes easier, reliability increases. The hand brake also works perfectly: there is no cable, and hydraulics instead. But during the repair all actions will be similar to those that occur when working with the front hubs. I'll have to remove the discs, calipers, completely disassemble the unit. If the bolts are fastened, then it will be quite difficult.
