Removal NOTE: Mark the pinion yoke and driveshaft to make sure the yoke and driveshaft are correctly aligned during assembly. 1. Remove the nuts and U-bolts connecting the driveshaft to the yoke. Disconnect the driveshaft from the yoke. Wire the driveshaft out of the way, so it will not interfere in the carrier removal process. 2. Remove both spindles and the Left and Right Shaft and U-joint assemblies as described in the Removal and Installation portion of this Section under Spindle and Left and Right Shaft and U-joint Assemblies. 3. Support the carrier with a suitable jack and remove the bolts retaining the carrier to the support arm. Separate the carrier from the support arm and drain the lubricant from the carrier. Remove the carrier from the vehicle. 4. Place the carrier in a Holding Fixture, T57L-500-B with Adapters T90T-4000-A. 5. Rotate the slip yoke and shaft assembly so the open side of the snap ring is exposed. Remove the snap ring from the shaft. 6. Remove the slip yoke and shaft assembly from the carrier. 7. Remove the oil seal and caged needle bearings at the same time, using Slide Hammer, T50T-100-A and Collet, D80L-100-A or equivalents. Discard the seal and needle bearing.

Information The condenser fitted to the new Citroen C5 2008>, with technical reference code CA1542, measures 3mm less in width to 817824 (CA1458). Valeo Service can confirm that both condensers are interchangeable. 817824 reference is maintained but technical code CA1458 is replaced by CA1542. New application for 817824 – Citroen New C5 2008 on. The cause of the failure is incorrectly diagnosed as a collapsed/failed bearing, however the real cause of the bearing failure is due to thermal damage caused by a preload fault. When the diaphragm fingers are worn to excess and the bearing face does not have a contact point on the diaphragm fingers, the outer race of the bearing will contact the fingers. This causes the outer race of the bearing to turn, resulting in the carrier becoming hot and subsequently melting. (Image 2). Image 2 Contact with the fingers is made at this point, resulting in thermal bluing. Outer race will turn causing carrier to become hot and subsequently melt. The rear of the bearing will also display evidence of a heavy contact from the release fork seating pads. Heavy impressions can clearly be seen at the point the bearing locates onto the fork.

Coolant loss through the water pump bearing seal is commonly caused by a faulty cooling system pressure cap. With certain designs of the plastic pressure cap, if the cooling system overheats distortion of the pressure relief valve in the cap can cause the valve to stick and result in excessive pressure in the cooling system. It is recommended that the coolant pressure cap is always checked for correct operation, prior to the fitment of a new water pump. Thermostat Testing In order to confirm if the thermostat is operating as required, the correct testing procedure should be adopted. Equipment required : 1) A container of undiluted anti-freeze mixture, to allow the temperature of the liquid to be raised above boiling point. (DO NOT use plain water). 2) A suitable heating element to raise the temperature of the liquid. 3) An accurately calibrated thermometer, with a range suitable for the thermostat to be tested. Testing Lower the thermostat into the container of anti-freeze, along with the thermometer, and heat the liquid slowly to the temperature marked on the thermostat, e.g 88 degrees, whilst agitating the thermostat. Let the temperature remain stable for one minute, then check for initial opening of the thermostat valve, Note: The valve will only just crack open at this temperature. Increase the temperature of the liquid to at least 14 degrees above the initial opening temperature, e.g.102 degrees, again allow one minute, then check the valve is fully opened. Allow the liquid to cool to below the initial opening temperature, then check that the valve is fully closed. Opening and fully open temperatures should be within plus or minus 2 degrees of those stated A build up of sediment coating on the thermostat can adversely effect the performance of the thermostat.
