Repair and operation of the car

Technology of service, instrument and equipment of a place of work

Service technology

There are several techniques of artistic proceedings of maintenance and repairs of the cars in which the reader will find references in the text of the present manual. Next to the offered educations it will do the work of the amateur mechanic of the most efficient, will allow to organize in the best way and to execute qualitatively several technical proceedings and will be the key to the measured realization of way full of all the necessary works.

Fixation

The fixation is called crazy, pins, hair clips of hair and service of screws of the connection between them of two or more details. During the work with elements of the fixation it is necessary to be remembered of some things constantly. Practically in any woodcarving fixation this or that type of the kontryashchy and stopping of devices are applied. They can be lavadores of lock, countersows, etiquettes of lock or the selante of special fixation of woodcarvings. The whole worn-out fixation will be absolutely pure and straight, with a woodcarving imperturbado and not the round corners of the heads of six sides carcereiras. It is necessary to take for the rule without fail to do the substitution of the damaged elements of fixation. The nuts самоконтрящиеся special with nylon or insertions of fiber are not subject to the reuse as in an otdavaniye they lose the properties kontryashchy and in the meeting they have always to be substituted.

The fixation "pricked" for ends of the simplification of unscrewing and to avoid damages before an otdavaniye has to be prosecuted by the structure of special attainment. Many people the mechanics prefers to use the turpentine that is convenient to put of a small special can with a long nose with this finality. After investigating of the fixation for the attainment structure, it is necessary to let to ways inside several minutes to impregnate properly the rusty layer of contact. The strongly rusty fixation can be reduced for a chisel, cut for a hacksaw or it is withdrawn through a special gaykolom.

Cutting a head of a pin or oblamyvaniya of a hair hair clip in the meeting the rest of a part of woodcarving can be perforated or be taken through a special extrator. Workshops of repairs of most of car can undertake realization for this, as well as others (for example, restoration of the thread taken off in the woodcarving of openings), proceedings of repair.

The apartment and the lavadores of lock in the meeting have always to be established at the place in the original provisions. Without fail substitute the lavadores damaged with the new. Between a lavador of lock and a gentle metal surface (for example aluminum), fine plate or plastic of the fixed detail is always necessary to establish lavadores flat.

Fixation sizes

For many reasons the cars manufacturers use the metric fixation more and more widely. Nevertheless, there are important there know a difference (more universal) between this one fixation and the fixation standard SAE used sometimes (or American). In spite of the extern similarity, the elements of these two types of the fixation are not exchangeable.

All the pins like standard of SAE, and metric, are classified by the diameter, a step of a woodcarving and length. For example, the pin of the SAE 1/2-13 standard h1 has a floor of inch in the diameter, 13 circles of a woodcarving in an inch and length of 1 inch. The metric pin of M12-1.75x25 has the 12 mm diameter, a step of woodcarving (distance between the next rounds) 1,75 mm and 25 mm length. Both pins are exgently almost identic, nevertheless they are not exchanged.

Besides the enumerated signs, both the metric pins and the pins of the standard SAE can be identified visually by the inquiry of a head. For a departure, the distance between lyska of a head of a metric pin is measured in millimeters while in the American – in inches (the same thing is also just for nuts). Consequently, the pull of the standard SAE does not adjust for the use with the metric fixation and vice-versa. Besides, in leaders of most of part of pins of the standard SAE normally be that you carve that you shed what define the very admissible effort of to pinch of a pin (degree of durability). More the quantity of entalhes, to be a higher admissible effort (in pins of the cars of a class of the durability from 0 to 5 devote themselves normally). The class of the durability of metric pins is defined by a digital code. The numbers of a code are launched normally, as well as in the American fixation, in a head of pin (in pins of the cars of classes of the durability 8.8, 9.8, and 10.9 devote themselves normally).

Also, in etiquettes of class of durability, it is possible to distinguish the class nuts of SAE of the metric one. The point etiquettes, proshtampovyvayemy in one of surfaces of face of a nut while the marking of metric nuts is done through, besides, digital code they apply to the identification of a class of the durability of nuts standard. The quantity of points, or more value of a digital code is more, the admissible effort of corseting itself of a nut is higher.

Nut of six sides Durability class 9	Nut of six sides Durability class 10

The faces of end of metric hair clips of hair also are marked according to a class of his durability. The digital code while in the least thing they have the marking in the form of geometrical numbers is applied in great hair hair clips.

It is necessary to notice that a considerable part of the fixation, specially the class of the durability from 0 to 2, is not marked in absolute. In this case the only way of the difference of the American fixation of the metric one is the measurement of a step of a woodcarving or comparison of circles with circles of the element inequivocamente identified.

It is necessary to be remembered that below the classification of SAE the only small fixation comes. With I do not carve the biggest elements metric there are the fixation of the American standard (ship of the United States).

Like the fixation of the same geometrical size (so many standard, since metric) it can have several classes of the durability, substituting pins, nuts and hair hair clips it is necessary to pay the special attention to the complaisance of the class of new established elements of durability withdrawn in the durability class.

Technique and order of pressure of screwed connections

The pressure of most of part of screwed connections must be done with the efforts determined by demands of the Specifications supplied in the beginning of each Chapter of the present manual (it is necessary to understand the torque enclosed for him like effort of corseting itself of the fixation). To corset itself with the excessive effort can lead to the violation of the entirety of the fixation while the nedotyagivaniye takes it to the insecurity of an union of the component inter-connected ones. The pins, screws and hair clips of hair, depending on the material from which they are done and the diameter of a part of woodcarving, normally have strictly certain admissible efforts of corseting itself, many people of which I eat already if above it mentioned, if they give in Specifications in the beginning of each Chapter. Strictly it had added to the recommendations supplied on efforts of corseting itself of the fixation used in the car. To corset itself of the fixation that is not mentioned in Specifications it is necessary to use the map of admissible torques given down. The values given on the table are concentrated in the fixation of classes of the durability 2 and 3 (more fixation of first quality allows to corset itself with the great effort), besides, is destined that when shoal is corseting itself (with a not lubricated woodcarving) fixation screwed in a steel or it forms (not aluminum) the detail one does.

The fixation located in the perimeter of component anyone (like the pins of the head of cylinders, the trundle bed of a case and) to avoid the deformation of a detail has to give several coverings to itself and to be dragged in strictly certain order. The order of the pressure and an otdavaniye of such a fixation happen in the text of the corresponding Leaders of the management, and also in сопр. illustrations. If the special order is not stipulated, then to avoid the deformation of a component one, is necessary to join to the educations given down.

In the first stage all the pins / the nuts have to corset themselves to the hand. Besides, of fixation to his time it gets each one of elements in a whole revolution and transition of a pin / the nut to other has to be executed in a diagonal order (transversalmente). Besides, having returned to the first element, it is necessary to repeat the proceeding in the same order, holding tight the fixation of a meiovolta. Continue the implementation of the proceeding, spreading each element out now in a room of a turn of an approximation until all of of they do not corset themselves with the necessary effort. In an otdavaniye of the fixation it is necessary to work in a similar way, but upside-down.

Desmontagem of component ones

The desmontagem of all has the component ones to be executed in such a way that during the installation each detail can establish at the ancient place and the correct image. Try to remember characteristic extern characteristics of the joined knot, in case of the necessity, it does the marking of landing detail that the installation can be at the place carried out ambiguously (for example, the equipped persistent lavador of a flute in an end, etc.). The placing of the retired details of a pure surface of work in that order in which his removal was the will made be the good idea. Usefulness also will be an editorial staff of the elementary schematic sketches or the gradual photography of the component classified ad.

In an otdavaniye of the fixation they try to do the marking of his initial situation in the meeting. Very often, the fixation installation and lavadores at the ancient place straightly after the removal of the corresponding detail it allows to avoid the confusion in the meeting. The absence of such an opportunity, the whole fixation must be installed when the box broken down sections e was specially prepared with this finality appropriately it marked, or only in the separate marked boxes. Such an approximation is specially useful during the work with the component compounds of the group of fine details like carburator, creator, valvate mechanism, panel or elements of a few decorative articles of tapestry of the hall.

In a lack of interest of contacts electric and taken it is necessary to pay attention to the marking of wires or braids through an insulating tape with the digital or alphabetical code applied in him.

In favor freemasonry surfaces

In all the cars the fighter placing is applied in pursuit of the place of an union of the inter-connected surfaces of two or more details and services of the prevention of the hole of oils and other liquids of work and maintenance in the meeting of the increased pressure / depression.

Very often such a placing before the installation is covered by a compound of fighter liquid or alike a briefcase (selante). Sometimes, consequently, or below the influence of the increased temperatures or pressure there he is "prikipaniye" so strongly of the inter-connected surfaces one to other that the splitting detail makes a demanding task. With many cases the quite succeeded separation of component "pricked" helps for his obstukivaniye on the outside in the joint perimeter the hammer with the gentle living creature. It is possible to use with this finality also the ordinary hammer, hitting punches for a plastic wooden sharing or. It are not necessary to do an obstukivaniye of cases of form and component, sensitive to the concussion. In the moment of the emergence of such difficulties first of all they always check if the whole fixation is withdrawn.

Avoid a podrychazhivaniye of details through the screwdriver or the hill established the area of an union like at the same time the inter-connected surfaces can damage easily what will lead with the relation to the holes development. If it is not possible to avoid a podrychazhivaniye of the "pricked" elements of meeting, use with this finality the doorknob of the old judgement, but it remembers that the whole formed chips have to be withdrawn carefully so much of the inter-connected surfaces, as of internal cavities of component ones of the dismembered knot.

After the details division his inter-connected surfaces have to be smoothed carefully out with the application of a scraper of the removal of aspects of the material of the old placing. The hardened fragments can be softened previously through the solvent of rust or the special chemical composition. Like a scraper in this case the part of a tube of copper with the end had been leveled out and pointed it can be in use. To remain of some placing easily can be withdrawn through a copper brush, nevertheless, in spite of the hard-working method, the inter-connected surfaces as a consequence of the processing will be absolutely pure and dry. If by some reason the inter-connected surface was damaged, before the meeting of the knot they fill defects of the selante of in favor freemasonry. In most of the cases it is necessary to use noncongealable (or not up to the end settling) selante.

Councils of removal of hoses

The measures of precautions that must be observed in the moment of the removal of hoses are great near to the shown measures in they are demolished of the placing. Avoid the damage of surfaces of unions and tubes of branch in which the hoses ends as it can be the reason of the development of the esticamento of holes. In a special measure the last demand belongs to the proceeding of the removal of hoses of an electric heater. Due to several chemical reactions that happen in a way of the system of cooling very often it takes place to drunkard "prikipany" of hoses for the surfaces of tubes of branch and unions. Since the removal of a hose first of all weakens his collar of his fixation. Then the claws seize a hose near to a collar and begin to make it spin in the union / a tube of branch that is joined on the right on the left. Keep on acting in the way determined before the liberation of a hose, soon to withdraw a hose of the union. Little one quantity of the silicon or another lubricant established a slit between the union and a hose will allow to save force. Before the installation of a hose they polish his internal, adjacent surface to an end face, and also the extern surface of the union with the water solution of soap or little one quantity of the lubricant of silicon.

Like the last resource, or in case of the unmistakable necessity of the substitution of a hose for the new, pretense the end of union of a hose can be knifed and soon it is separated of the surface of the union. At the same time try not to damage a metal of union of edge / a tube of branch that is joined.

In case of the damage of a collar of hose, substitute it with the new. The collars of the type twisted normally inside some time, therefore, are weakened, in spite of a state, more practical screw or worm is better to substitute them.

Instrument

The selection of the instrument of high quality is one of basic demands for everyone who plans proceedings of execution independent of repairs of the cars or maintenance. At first sight, the expenses joined with the acquisition of the necessary play of instruments can seem immensely big, nevertheless in his comparison with the inter-connected expenses the artistic proceedings of the regular maintenance and the repairs of the elementary cars in the workshop of repairs of the car will seem quite reasonable.

 For aims of the systematization of the approximation of the necessary choice in the moment of repair and service of the car of the instrument three lists of instruments that condicionalmente have a right as happen down:" Set of tools of regular maintenance and least repair", "Set of tools of the general repairs and repairs of capital" e "The special instrument". The owners of cars that have not practical experience of the realization of mechanical works will begin with artistic proceedings, the instruments contented by the application of the first list, improving at the same time skills and gradually spreading the variety of the activity out. In the process of the acquisition of skills, it is possible to pass to the realization of the most complex challenges, gradually filling the variety of the maintained instruments. Shortly when experience was acquired it will allow to pass to the realization of the most complex works the demanding use of the instrument of the second list (for the general repairs and the repairs of capital of the car). When the qualification of the perfumer gets the quite high level and it will allow to save considerable ways in the realization independent of difficult proceedings of repair, it is possible to think about the acquisition of the special instrument.

Set of tools in regular maintenance and the repairs of the least cars

The list given down includes a minimum of unities of the necessary instruments to execute proceedings of regular maintenance and repairs of the insignificant cars. The authors of the present manual recommend to begin with the acquisition of the group of the combined pulls (of ordinary Rozhkova with a head in an end and with the hat in other). In spite of the increased price of this play in comparison with the price of the play of ordinary Rozhkov of keys, the expense is going to be justified since such keys have advantages of both types.

· Group of the combined keys of 8 for 19 mm
· A key of adjustable screw (to 35 mm)

· Drain capacity

 Set of tools of the general repairs and repairs of capital of the car

This instrument is absolutely necessary executing any operation in the repair of the motor of the car and volunteers besides the first list. The present list included a complete set of replaceable heads of face. With the considerable price, the group of replaceable heads brings the invaluable benefit, thanks to the universality and convenience in the address, specially in the combination with the walks of different type that they include in the packet. It is recommended there gives the preference to walks with a 1/2 section inch (but not 3/8 inches) since, though they are more expensive, they can be in use practically with any type of keys of dynamometer (in ideal way, the good mechanic will have both types of walks in the order). The cheapest alternative for the group of replaceable heads of face is a group of tubular keys.

· Group of replaceable heads of face (including heads as "TORH") (or tubular keys), the sizes that correspond to the sizes of pulls of the prior list
· I take the catraca reversive for a walk (for use with replaceable heads of face)

Special instrument

The instruments that are appropriately expensive, done not not needed regularly, or demanding using the implementation of manufacturers' educations they come to this category. If the field of the activity of the amateur mechanic does not include the frequent realization of difficult mechanical operations, the acquisition of such an instrument is going to become the bad investment of the capital – it will be more reasonable to acquire it sharing the price with friends or to rent like person in need in workshops of the service of the car.

Only those instruments that can be in the retail commerce or that are given out for the distribution in centers of services of representations of the manufacturers of companies of cars if they introduce in the list. Sometimes in the text of the management the reader will face connections to such special instruments. Normally the authors try to offer in the parallel one the alternative method that there allows to avoid the compulsory use of the remote instrument. In case of what it is impossible to avoid the use of the special instrument, and his acquisition in the use is problematic, the realization of the corresponding works will be more correct to be entrusted specialists of the service of the car.

Acquisition of the instrument

The beginner's mechanic can offer several practical advice as to the acquisition of the necessary instrument to execute proceedings of repairs of the cars and service. For the preparation to maintain proceedings of the regular maintenance or the repairs of the least cars it is reasonable to buy the instrument separately. From another side, in case of the projection of more spacious works, it is more simple and more fiável to buy the group of the modern instrument in the shop of the net in the retail trade. The acquisition of a play normally costs a little cheaper individual purchases and very often it results from the appendix in a play of box of tools. Besides, for the expansion of the variety, the separate instruments, the additional plays and a box of tools of the biggest size can be bought besides that. The gradual expansion of the group of instruments will allow to stretch expenses and to be defined in the choice of really necessary instruments.

The specialized instrument shops are the only fountain of acquisition of some special instruments. In spite of the choice of a fountain, avoid cheap purchases, specially in the choice of screwdrivers and replaceable heads of face as the term of his service for right it will be short. The expenses joined with substitution and restoration of the cheap instrument like that will be incomparably more considerable, of which prices of the only acquisition of qualitative goods.

Taken care of the instrument and his storage

The good instrument is the valuable investment of the capital, therefore, there are reasonable cleaning and constant availability take care of the care for the service. After the use of the instrument, before being doubled to the place of the storage, carefully they always rub his surface with pure dry rags, removing aspects of dirt, lubricant and to remain of metal particles. Never leave the spread instrument. After the realization of works attentively they check the space below a monk's hood and below the car of the existence of the forgotten instrument.

For the storage of such an instrument like screwdrivers, pliers of flat nose, hammers, etc., the comb of instrument fixed at the convenient place in a garage wall is ideal. The plays of pulls and replaceable heads of face must be guarded in metal boxes. The instrument of measuring of precision has to be guarded in the inaccessible one for the impact of the corrosion, dry and pure places.

It is always necessary to pay attention to a condition of a surface of work of the instrument. A part of shock quickly of the hammer in the course of the use is subject to a rasklepyvaniye, the screwdrivers lose the sharpening of the pricks inside some time. It does not do the limit to think that a little time and for this through a paper of emery or an archive they withdraw attention rasklepa and put the edges they cut in the order. The instrument worn-out is irrevocable or damaged in due course it substitutes.

In the moment of the careful departure of the instrument it is able to serve the belief and the truth during the very long term.

Equipment of place of work

Talking about the instrument, it is necessary to be remembered of the equipment of place of work. If it executes more serious work, of which the simple maintenance of the vehicle will be necessary, it is necessary to take care of the preparation of the platform of convenient work.

It is necessary to recognize that many drivers force themselves doing they are demolished of the motor and other similar works not in the conditions of a garage or a workshop. Nevertheless anyway the important demand is the existence of a roof or awning.

Whenever possible, any proceeding to be demolished on parts of systems of the car has to do to itself in a pure bank with a work surface egg white or strong table of the convenient height. The bank has to be equipped certainly of a vice with the sponges revelation to 100 mm and with gentle sponges bedcovers.

I eat already if above it mentioned, in the work platform the pure dry place of the storage of the instrument, lubricant and liquids of cleaning, the difficult putties, paintings and varnishes, etc. they have to be equipped.

It is necessary to notice that the instrument absolutely necessary is the electric furadeira, therefore, the platform of work has to be equipped of the provision of power of his connection. The existence of a furadeira with the chief to 9,5 mm and group of furadeiras qualitative considerably will make easy to maintain many proceedings.

Finally, in a work place there will always be a sufficient stock of old newspapers and purely, not ворсящейся rags, destined to join the spilled liquids and to be scratched of the platform of work, the instrument and the details of the car.

The carried out work liquids must be handed in the centers of the use in a held tight container.

Never execute any work in the surface painted without mask of lists of body of the car, use protective bedcovers for wings, or, in the worst, it covers the polished surfaces of old blankets.
