Attention! When replacing the wing, avoid damage to adjacent body elements.
The replacement of the front wing must be carried out in the following order. Apply the parking brake, loosen the wheel fasteners and put the car on stands or raise it on a lift. Fix the relative position of the wheel and its hub (paint, marker), remove the wheel from the side of the wing to be replaced.
Raise and lock the hood in the open position, remove and, if necessary, replace the following parts:
- lining on the front wheel arch;
- casing of the front wheel arch;
- bottom cover on the headlight;
- front auxiliary turn signal.
Open the door and through the slot from the side of the car, unscrew the bolts (1, fig. 18.19) fastening the wing to the front pillar of the body.
Loosen the bolt securing the front fender to the body frame (arrows, 10 pcs.) from the side of the engine compartment. When loosening the bolts, be careful not to lose the nut nuts.
Using a marker, mark the position of the hinges on the hood and fix the position of the hood on the body with wooden blocks so that after removing the fasteners, there is no damage to the windshield, hood, parts and body paintwork. Remove the hood as described below.
Attention! The wing sits firmly on the body thanks to its protective anti-corrosion layer and sealant. To remove the wing, it is necessary to heat up the protective layer with an industrial hair dryer with a flat nozzle in the upper and rear (lower) sections of the wing from the side of the bottom of the body.
Using a scraper tool, remove the protective coating, warming up and separating it, section by section, from the area of \u200b\u200bfitting the wing to the body. Otherwise, the mating surfaces of the wing and body will be deformed. Remove the fender by separating it from the body using a sharp plastic tool inserted between the fender and body.
The installation of the front wing should be carried out in the reverse order, while it is necessary to clean the contact surfaces of the wing and body from the remnants of the anti-corrosion coating and, if necessary, straighten them. Restore paintwork.
Set the wing in place and tighten the screws of its fastening by hand. Make sure that the seal does not come out, especially in the headlight area. Install the hood (see below) and equalize the gap at the joint between the hood and fender by moving the hood. The gap must be uniform along the entire length of 4.0±0.75 mm. The plane of the hood can sink from the plane of the wing by no more than 1.0 mm.
Check the gap in the joint between the wing and the front door by moving the wing. The gap must be uniform along the entire length and 4.5±0.5 mm. The plane of the door should protrude 1.0 mm above the surface of the wing.
Tighten the front wing mounting screws with a torque of 0.5 kgf·m (5 Nm). Restore the anti-corrosion coating of the bottom of the body and the inner surface of the wing.
Install the wheel on the hub according to the pre-applied boundaries. When installing the wheel, the threads of the bolts and holes in the hubs must be dry.
The final tightening of the wheel bolts must be carried out with the vehicle standing on wheels. Tighten crosswise, with a torque of 14.0 kgf·m (140 Nm).
