Remove the front door trim of the Lada Granta

Any car owner can dismantle the door panel trim on the Lada Granta model on his own, since this work does not involve any difficulties.

Removing the casing takes little time. The procedure itself can be carried out through several simple steps. For dismantling, you should only equip yourself with screwdrivers: flat-profile and figured. In this article we will describe how to remove the trim on a Grant from the front door and, accordingly, from the rear door.

How to dismantle the casing in Grant yourself?

How to remove the casing correctly and with your own hands? The first step is to disconnect the negative terminal from the power battery of the Lada Grant. This action is not necessary if the stern doors are not equipped with power windows. When dismantling the trim from the front door panel, disconnecting the terminal is a mandatory measure!

To securely fit the casing in its place, you will need to acquire new clips. It is possible that these fasteners may break during the removal procedure.

Next, on the decorative door panel of the Lada Granta, using a flat-profile screwdriver, pry up the plug and remove it. We act carefully to avoid breaking off its fasteners. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the fixing screw. We perform a similar procedure with a bolt located in a plastic socket.

After this, we switch to the plugs placed in the handle itself

If you carefully remove them, you will have access to two screws that also need to be unscrewed. We recommend placing all fastening elements in suitable containers. This will allow you to quickly and accurately assemble the unit to its previous state.

This will allow you to quickly and accurately assemble the unit to its previous state.

The only action left is to unscrew the remaining pair of trim fixing bolts, which are located at the bottom of the door card.

To remove the locking button, you will need to perform a simple manipulation - turn it to the left and slowly pull it up.

If the car is equipped with a manual drive of the mirror mechanism, then use a screwdriver to pry up the sealing gasket of the mirror hinge lever and remove it.

Based on the photo, it is recommended to first familiarize yourself with the locations of the clips in the Lada Granta. This will reduce the risk of damage and save time on work.

If the window lift is electric?

The process of removing a panel with an electric mechanism on a LADA Granta is similar to that discussed earlier: the panel is pryed off and dismantled. To eliminate interference caused by the removed panel, it should be placed inside the door card by feeding it through the hole that is the panel seat.

1.	Gennady: Grant has been a year and a half since purchase, no special comments. But the sound insulation is weak, and the vibration insulation is also poor. On the advice of my comrades, I additionally covered it with Visalis. Fortunately, the process is not complicated, I first read the instructions.
2.	Vasily: the car is two years old, I’m happy with the assembly, after the showroom I immediately ordered additional sound insulation. There are no complaints about the body. I systematically carry out inspections at service stations, buy original consumables, and treat equipment with care.

Preparing the machine for work, necessary tools

The car must be driven into a garage or box (an inspection hole is optional - only when repairing other vehicle components) and secured in place, supporting the wheels to prevent shifting. It is allowed to carry out repairs outdoors in warm, windless weather on flat asphalt or a concrete surface. Be sure to find a fastening box with compartments so as not to confuse what was taken out and where it came from.

For the dismantled cladding, you will need free space to put it aside until the very end of all repair activities. This way it will be completely preserved – it can be further cleaned from the inside before re-installation. You should definitely stock up on clips, which may crack during the process of removing the trim (a kit for such work should be on hand).

You should also disconnect the battery (negative terminal) to prevent a short circuit due to elements under the casing. All components removed from under the trim can also be placed away from the car so that they do not accidentally get underfoot. The following instructions apply to all Lada Granta cars without changes by the owners.

Fastening elements are located along the lower perimeter (three bolts per ten), as well as along the entire door card - eight pistons. To complete all the work you will need:

two screwdrivers (Phillips and flat head);
set of tools for removing trim. If this is not the case, then you can use a flat-head screwdriver, an unnecessary credit card, or a similar flat tool;
latex gloves;
Set of tools for removing trim and clips
rags;
soldering iron (for fixing wires to the speakers in the absence of a detachable connection).

Additional tools may be required depending on the situation and the intended task.

Tips and tricks

To achieve optimal results, you need to follow these tips:

It is worth remembering that hermetically sealing the door trim not only allows you to insulate/isolate from unnecessary noise and vibration, but also improves the sound quality of speaker systems. Dense low frequencies directly depend on the presence of material inside, and the presence of extra gaps will add unpleasant ringing and resonance when the speakers are operating.

It is best to test the reliability of the work performed by opening and closing the doors several times and testing the installed elements while driving. If possible, you can take a passenger with you who would monitor how the sound comes in and whether there is a draft through the casing and cracks.

Selecting a skin

As a substitute for standard door inserts, you can use:

genuine leather. The cladding will look good and serve for a long time, but the cost of the material cannot be called affordable. It is better to use natural leather if you plan to upholster the car interior with your own hands;
leatherette (dermantine) - inferior in quality, but costs much less than genuine leather. More than a reasonable option for finishing doors;
eco leather. The material is a high-quality substitute for genuine leather. The composition includes cotton, cellulose-based artificial materials, synthetic polymers and natural leather. Has excellent elasticity, resistance to temperature changes and mechanical stress;
velours. The material is well suited for door trim, used for car interior trim, and less commonly for ceilings;
alcantara. High-quality samples will not be cheap, but an analogue from a budget manufacturer can be found at a very reasonable price. Of course, the material from famous manufacturers is of higher quality and easier to paste, but the budget option can also provide a pleasant tactile sensation;
artificial suede fabric. The textile consists of polyester on a cotton base. Velvety and soft to the touch;
a special fabric that is usually used to replace a car's headliner. The material must be dense if it is intended to cover the elbow areas, and not just decorative inserts. Prices for ceiling fabric are quite reasonable.

Material, tools

You can calculate the amount of material required for sheathing yourself. We cannot indicate these figures, since everything depends on the size of the insert, as well as the area of the bends. For an approximate calculation, you can use a ruler and formulas for calculating the area of geometric shapes. The price of fabric is set per linear meter.

You can sheathe cards using glue, which is used to reupholster the ceiling with your own hands. If you follow the technology, you are guaranteed not to have problems with GTA Boterm or universal glue “88”. If you cannot buy these adhesives, you can use Moment-1 Glue or Kaiflex K414 Glue. To cover all the door cards of an average passenger car, you will only need one 1 l/0.8 kg can. To apply the glue you will need a brush. Before gluing, it is advisable to degrease the surface. To do this, simply wipe the repair area with a paper towel soaked in solvent.

You will definitely need a standard kit for assembling and disassembling the door cards of your car. Usually a medium-sized Phillips screwdriver is enough for this. To avoid damaging the casing, to remove the cards after unscrewing the screw connections, you can use a set of plastic elements for dismantling car interior panels. You will also need a utility knife and scissors to trim the fabric. The need for a specialized tool may arise at the stage of detaching the fabric inserts from the plastic frame of the door cards.

Show me the cubic capacity!

Having released the latches, we open the rear doors 180 degrees. Now we pull two plastic flags in turn - and the back of the rear sofa falls forward. Now we put the remaining parts in our hands in place and pull the sling - the sofa moves forward. All that remains is to unlock two more latches, grunt a little and pull the bench out of the cabin.

Then it’s even simpler: the middle sofa easily folds into the front seats - and here they are, the promised “two and a half cubes”! The permitted load capacity of 555 kg allows you to fill this volume with something not too heavy. For example, TVs, gas stoves and bicycles can easily be placed on a flat floor - and possibly at the same time.

Yes, you don’t have to throw the third row of seats in the parking lot, but take it with you - all you need to do is fold down a smaller part of the middle sofa. After loading the bench, there will still be quite a lot of space left inside for luggage.

How to remove the door trim of a Lada Priora yourself

The car brand was released twelve years ago, and since then has been very popular among drivers. And it’s not surprising, because the cost of a high-quality product from the domestic automobile industry is quite low.

Many car enthusiasts can afford to buy it. Repairs and service are cheap, and some parts can be replaced yourself.

For example, from this article, readers will learn how to remove the Priora door trim.

In some cases, vehicle owners want to replace the door trim on the Priora. Achieving this goal is quite simple; you will need a minimum of tools. Lack of experience should not be scary; even people who are not involved in such repairs will be able to remove the old door trim and install a new door trim according to the instructions.

How to remove the trim

The process is divided into three main stages:

Finding all screws and fixing elements, unscrewing the bolts.
Removing door trims.
Dismantling the casing.

The covering of the rear and front panels is removed separately. These steps will be described in detail below in the article; if you do not want to go to a car repair shop, we will provide instructions on how to remove the door trim on a Lada Priora car.

Why is dismantling necessary?

The upholstery of the Lada Priora car is available in several colors. If a car enthusiast wants to change the interior color, then he will have to change not only the seat upholstery, but also the door trim. Components such as noise insulation or insulation cannot be installed without first removing the sheathing.

If the window lifts are damaged, or the door handles are damaged, you will also have to remove the Priora door trim, notice the broken components, and install it back. Also, over time, the cladding loses its appearance, stains appear that cannot be removed.

How to dismantle the casing: instructions

You will need the following tools:

flat screwdriver;
Phillips screwdriver;
clips and pistons to which the covering is attached.

It is not necessary to complete the last point, but it’s better to stock up on clips and pistons in case you break the old ones. In order not to waste time and not run to the store, it is advisable to buy the kit in advance.

When choosing caps or clips for Priora, pay attention to what brand they are intended for. These components for Priora are similar to parts for Kalina

The difference is in length - for Kalina, the clips are one and a half millimeters longer. Ask consultants for help, they will help you choose the right parts.

Replacing the bearing of the input shaft of the VAZ 2107 gearbox

The easiest way to replace a worn element is on the removed box. On the VAZ 2107 it is possible to remove the bearing from the input shaft directly from the gearbox in the car, but this procedure is very labor-intensive and time-consuming.

To work, you need to prepare the usual tools for any driver:

screwdriver with a powerful flat blade;
hammer;
puller if necessary.

How to remove the old one

With the gearbox already removed from the car, you need to remove the bell (casing) and retaining rings. There is no need to completely disassemble the box:

Use a screwdriver to pry up the special groove in the input shaft bearing. (it looks like a ring).
Pull the shaft towards you, using the bearing as a support for pressure.
Carefully pull out the bearing, periodically hitting it with a hammer.
After each hammer blow, it is recommended to rotate the shaft a little to avoid dents or distortion of the bearing.
As a result, after these actions, the bearing can be easily removed from its support.

How to install a new one

Next, you will need to install a functional one in place of the old bearing. For this:

Press the new bearing onto the shaft using a hammer.
Use a hammer only on the inner ring of the bearing, otherwise it may become deformed.
When pressing, it is necessary to pull the input shaft slightly forward so that the bearing fits in more easily.

Video: replacing the input shaft bearing on a VAZ classic

To summarize all of the above, we can say that the owner of a VAZ 2107 can carry out all the necessary work on the gearbox and input shaft himself. However, if you have doubts about your skills, it is better to turn to auto repair specialists. We also note that the VAZ 2107 gearbox rarely requires any intervention and usually serves for many years without a hint of a problem.

Replacing bearings in a classic gearbox (VAZ 2101, 2104, 2105, 2106, 2107) is an operation that requires complete disassembly of the gearbox. The exceptions are: the bearing of the input shaft of the VAZ 2107 gearbox, as well as the front intermediate rolling support. To replace these parts, disassembling the gearbox is not required.

The input shaft bearing (PSB) is a critical component in the gearbox (Gearbox). It is on the “primary” that the greatest dynamic and variable loads are concentrated. In the event of malfunctions and signs of failure, timely replacement of the VAZ 2107 gearbox input shaft bearing is required. If replacement is delayed, the gear shift unit may jam (in some situations, the clutch or release gear breaks).
