… And pressing out with a mounting paddle, remove the transfer case.

Remove the spacer washer.

Install the transfer case in reverse order:
we replace the gasket, between the transfer case and the gearbox, applying a layer of sealant to the gasket.
We turn on the direct drive in the transfer case with a lever, directing the drive gear by hand through the hole in the crankcase.
For ease of installation:

with the key "12" we unscrew the four bolts of the switching mechanism.

Install the intermediate washer. Sealant "glue" the gasket to the gearbox.
Turning the parking brake drum, we put the transfer case on the studs and the secondary shaft of the gearbox. We bait the bolts and nuts of the transfer case. Tightening the bolts and nuts evenly, we achieve the pressing of the outer ring of the bearing into the socket of the transfer case and the tight fit of the units to each other.
Install the removed parts in reverse order.
Fill the transmission oil into the transfer case

The transfer case helps distribute engine torque to multiple drives at the same time.

You can do the repair of the UAZ handout box with your own hands, it is not as difficult as it seems at first glance, and besides, you will be able to save on paying for the services of a car service master.

Before starting repairs, of course, it is necessary to find out the cause of the malfunction.

  1. There is a lot of noise in the transfer case. This can be the result of loosening the nuts that connect the transfer case to the transmission, or loosening the bolts on the bearing caps. The list of reasons includes wear of the bearings or gears themselves, poor-quality or unsuitable oil, or its low level.
  2. Selection and gear shifting poorly. This is usually due to a binding of the clutch on the splines of the hub or front drive shafts. Or, alternatively, the gear selector is deformed.
  3. The transmission shuts down spontaneously while the vehicle is in motion. Gear teeth may be worn out. Also, the shutdown can be affected by an increase in the gap in the spline connection or wear of the retainer parts.
  4. Oil leaks. Often the problem is caused by wear or mechanical damage to the gaskets, loosening of the nuts on the cover, wear of the oil seals or o-rings of the actuator stems.

The solution to all these problems is either repair or replacement of faulty parts.In some cases, it will be enough just to tighten the nuts or add oil.

Transfer case repair takes place in several stages.

  1. Removing and disassembling the box.
  2. Troubleshooting.
  3. Eliminate these faults by replacing the part or repairing it.
  4. Collecting and placing the box in place.

To remove the box and disassemble the distribution box for the UAZ 469, you need to proceed as follows:

  • drive the car into the inspection pit;
  • lower the parking brake lever, and put the gear levers and transfer cases in neutral;
  • then the casing and cladding are unscrewed one by one, the handles and covers are removed, all wires are disconnected.

Before you start disassembling the device, you must wash it and drain all the oil. For the convenience of parsing, it is better to use a special stand where the distributor can be fixed.

When disassembling the differential, it is advisable to note the relative position of the driven gear mounting bolts on its housing, so that later it will be easier to put everything into place.

Before inspection, all parts must be brushed and rinsed.

The UAZ distribution box is assembled in the reverse order to the one in which it was dismantled, and before installing the unit in place, check its operation at the stand. The function must be perfect, the assembly correct and it is important that the oil does not leak. The tests are carried out first in a higher gear, then in a smaller one.

Under load, they check the operation in the second mode, on the rest - without load. The serviceability of the differential is checked in the first mode, while gradually decelerating until it stops completely.

With proper repair and timely replacement of all faulty components of the transfer case, the UAZ will work without jamming, knocking and noise, and oil will not leak out!

UAZ-452 was originally created for the Soviet armed forces as a medical service vehicle, where in this connection it was dubbed the "pill" (the civilian nickname is "loaf").

So the design of mechanisms, including the transfer case, is simplified as much as possible.

During operation, the entire transmission system is unpretentious, which is confirmed by half a century of practice. Manufacturer's only recommendation: periodically check the oil level and check the fasteners.

In addition, if necessary, adjust the front links and subject the lever pivots to preventive lubrication. This mechanical unit, including bearings, does not require any more maintenance and adjustment.

The distribution box for UAZ-452 is the heart of the car's transmission. It transmits dynamic force to the front and rear axles and has 2 operating modes: direct and reduction (with a gear ratio of 1.94).

The latter contributes to the creation of more effective traction during overcoming off-road and terrain folds.

When assembling, the working gears of the transfer case are mounted taking into account the noise emitted during rotation. When, in the process of operation, a worn gear is replaced with a new one, an increased noise level often occurs in the box, which does not pose a danger and usually passes over time.

Repair signals can be:

  1. Oil leak.
  2. Increased noise and vibration.
  3. Difficult switching from one position to another.
  4. Spontaneous knocking out of the included operating mode.

Although often, troubleshooting is enough just to adjust the fasteners or lubricate problem areas and points. If this does not help, the car must be driven into the inspection pit or overpass, after which the technological operations must be carried out in strict sequence.

Repair stages:

  • dismantling and disassembling the box;
  • breakdown detection;
  • elimination of the causes of malfunctions (replacement or restoration of parts);
  • assembly, installation at a regular place, adjustment.

Both levers are located in the cab to the right of the driver. The upper one is designed for remote control of the front axle and is fixed in 2 positions - rear (when the drive is off) and front (when it is on).

The loaf's front axle is used only when driving in difficult conditions.No wonder the "torpedo" has a nameplate in front of the levers "Turn off the front axle when driving on dry hard roads!"

Bottom powers demultiplier (which is also called a divider in the car model). The fact is that in the UAZ, as in any off-road vehicle or off-road vehicle, gear shifting is provided not only in the gearbox, but also in the transfer case.

For the latter, there are 3 positions - rear (with low gear engaged), middle or neutral (in which the shaft is not connected), forward (with direct gear engaged).

The lowered step can only be used after changing to the front axle. It, in turn, cannot be turned off with a functioning lower stage.

Greetings, I watched the video of Vasily Kharchishin
and saw new videos for the repair of RK UAZ,
surprised by the introduction of bearings of the rear drive shaft
bridge. I would like to hear the opinions of experienced UAZ growers, really
is it possible to install the bearings in this place,
and how appropriate is it?

I did it about 10 years ago. In principle, everything is fine, but there are nuances with lubrication.

I went to the store and bought: both flanges, a speedometer cable, a fork for switching on the rear axle and a lowered row, and of the little things.

Started assembling the transfer case of the UAZ-452.

For the correct position of the fork, it was necessary to expand the stem a little. Ten degrees.

Further, all the shafts are collected on the cover. Well, at least that's what I do. It's more comfortable for me.

You can easily twist it. Check if the gears mesh correctly when shifting.
