To remove the intermediate shaft 8 (Fig. 158), remove the engine from the car. To remove the intermediate shaft, remove the oil pump, as the pump is driven by the intermediate shaft. After removing the ignition distributor and often results in timing the intermediate shaft is available, its attachment bolts can loosen and remove the shaft. The flange sealing ring has a return hole and must be installed with this in mind. The flange defines an axial clearance of the shaft and must be replaced if the axial gap is greater than 0.25 mm. O-shaped sealing ring flange creates a leak from the cylinder. If the holder of the gland has been unscrewed, it should be replaced by a new oil seal. Installing the intermediate shaft gland is similar to installing the crankshaft front oil seal. Bolts of the oil seal during assembly should be tightened to 25 Nm.
