Hello to all happy owners of Chords!
I would like to add some more information on the repair of our painful rails!)))) A lot of things were discussed about this, I also decided to share my experience.
The problem actually was like many - it's an annoying knock, first on the right and then on the left side. I endured all this until the right gland began to sweat. Winter is coming and I decided to fix this problem! I ordered a repair kit online, a bushing (lock nut), an adjusting bushing, an upper spool seal (it comes with a bearing), a right boot, a week of waiting and everything came. And another liter of fresh PSF.

From an unusual tool, you will need large keys (32, 40, 46), a wrench with an average square, a denometric key (it is possible without it), preferably an electric drill and a drill (4 or 5 mm), a tube wrench (17-19), a large syringe with a tube (remove the liquid from the tank).

Now the whole process is in order:

1. We drive the car onto a flyover (pit), hang out the front wheels.

2. pump out the liquid from the tank

3. Disassemble the top (in the cabin)

just pull the protection towards you, it is held on by clips.

4. unscrew the cardan of the steering column.

5. We pull the cardan from the slots to the top.
IMPORTANT: When the cardan is already removed, you need to fix the steering wheel so that no one turns the steering wheel.
Since you can break the train under the steering wheel.

6. Unscrew the three nuts by 10 and remove the boot.

removing this duster is problematic. interferes with insulation and rug, anther is under them. Okay, take it off, put it in its place, this is a hemorrhoid. So a couple of packs of sedatives will come in handy. )))

remove the retainer and rubber band. the gum is shifted to the bottom relative to the shaft.

7. Unscrew the steering tips. I didn’t have a puller at hand, I made it easier to unscrew the nuts not completely so that the nut was flush with the end of the thread of the tip. This is necessary so as not to spoil the thread with a blow. We hit everything from the bottom with a hammer and voila. the tip came off. unscrew the nut and everything. If the finger scrolls, then press the tip from the top with the mount and unscrew it to your health!) Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo ((

8. unscrew the mount of the rail itself.
We twist the lower one from the bottom and the one that is higher is more convenient to twist from the top

9. unscrew the three bolts of the heat shield from the bottom.

They are tightened from the heart!) You will need such a key.

11. first unscrew the blue bolt of the bracket, holding the handset, then the rest.

for convenience, you will need such a set with a cardan.

12. to remove the rail, you need to lower the beam. you can replace the stabilizer bushings in one, I did just that.
so we lower the beam:

we lower it by 3-3.5 cm, this is quite enough, we leave the right bolt, the beam will be held on it, and the left one is completely unscrewed and the spacer is removed (it interferes with unscrewing the stub bushing)

13. remove the rail to the left

my carefully benzinchikom and carry it to a warm garage))

14. unscrew the tips, you will need two keys for 19 and one for 14

remove the anthers and unscrew the rods (do not spoil the plastic thrust rings, they will still come in handy), here you need keys for 22 and 32 (32 will need to be modified so that it is no wider than 10 mm, otherwise it will not fit)

15. unscrew the adjusting sleeve key 40 and a knob with a middle square.

production of teflon coating to metal

16. unscrew the two bolts, tubes and remove the spool.

17. knock out the spool shaft (it came out easily for me)

the ring is in the repair kit.

18. then unscrew the guide nut, it is locked. I didn’t drill much and it unscrewed without problems. (The nut is thick, don’t be afraid to drill))

IMPORTANT: do not clamp the case strongly in a vise, it can be deformed and that's it. the rail can be thrown out. Nut under
key for 46

19. Next, you need to knock out the gland that is under the nut. The difficulty is that the shaft will spring due to the air and oil of those left behind the outlet fitting.
I did this: I pulled the shaft out of the housing as much as possible and pressed the shaft to the side so that there was a gap between the shaft and the stuffing box, the main goal was to release air (it is very springy). Then we put something on the opposite side of the shaft and try to knock out the oil seal (it came out easily for me). I used the extension cord from the kit.

the second seal is knocked out in the same direction as the first.

you need to knock it out carefully with something softer than steel without damaging the inner working surface, I found some kind of stick in the garage and easily knocked out the oil seal.

we see that there is a washer under the gland

21. We wash the body thoroughly with gasoline and drive in a new oil seal (do not forget to put a washer in front of the oil seal)

a new washer can be taken from rep. kit

I pressed the new oil seal with a 27 head and two extensions

22. Now you need to replace the cuffs on the shaft, there are two of them: one ring is white, it looks like it is made of plastic, and under it the other is rubber (the plastic ring must be worn very carefully - it is difficult to stretch, you can tear it, for example, I have a little heated over the lamp-carrying.)

here's what happened in the end

23. We install the shaft into the housing, before installation, put a little electrical tape on the end of the shaft so as not to seal the gland.
IMPORTANT: Insert the shaft carefully, remember that the teeth of the shaft can also damage the oil seal!

24. We crush the second stuffing box with a new nut.

25. We lubricate the whole thing, I used violet grease, of course, you can use lithol, in general, whoever wants it!))

26. Now we change the stuffing box and spool bearing. I picked up the head from the set, I don’t remember exactly which one, and pressed the oil seal at the beginning, then the bearing (with the inscriptions outward, so that after installation they could be seen).

We put the spool shaft in place, check that the shaft rotates without much effort. Lubricate everything, especially the bearing and splines.

put it all on the rail (do not forget to change the ring, it is in the repair kit)

27. put the adjusting sleeve (do not forget to lubricate everything)

How I adjusted:
I twisted until it rested, then unscrewed it one turn and turned it again until it rested and let it go by about 20 degrees (all this is necessary for the spring to fall into place) If you need a denmetric wrench and do it all with some effort. I didn't have a key. After assembly, the steering wheel did not become tighter and the knock (if you move the steering wheel) on the turned off engine is a thing of the past!)))

28. Screw the tubes into place (I forgot to take a photo)

29. screwed steering rods, do not forget to put plastic thrust rings

we put new retaining rings (with a mustache in the shaft), they are in the repair kit

31. fasten the steering tips (bending in front)

Everything. now put on auto. I think it's not worth describing the order!)))

here are some pics of the bushings i replaced. I put myself polyurethane bushings of a smaller diameter instead of 26.5 mm, I put 25.4 mm, since the stabilizer itself turned out to be worn.

Good luck to everyone in the repair of your favorite car))).
