The reason why the rear half shaft of the Haval H5 cannot be removed is due to incorrect methods. Correct disassembly techniques: First, the tire needs to be removed, then disconnect the universal transmission device between the transfer case and the transmission. Next, remove the dust cover and retaining ring of the front half shaft. There is a pin above the front half shaft connected to the transmission; pulling out this pin allows the front half shaft to be removed. Introduction to the half shaft sleeve: The half shaft sleeve is an important component of the automobile drive axle assembly. It integrates with the drive axle housing to fix the axial relative positions of the left and right drive wheels, jointly supporting the weight of the frame and its assemblies. At the same time, during vehicle operation, it bears the road reaction forces and moments transmitted from the wheels and transfers them to the frame through the suspension.
When removing the rear axle shaft of the Haval H5, I often encounter this situation, possibly because the axle shaft has been exposed to rain or dust for a long time and has rusted firmly, causing the screws and axle sleeve to stick together, making it difficult to loosen. Additionally, improper maintenance by some owners, insufficient lubrication leading to metal wear and adhesion, combined with excessive torque during installation, can cause the screws to seize. The choice of tools is also crucial; appropriate wrenches and hydraulic equipment must be used, otherwise, parts may be damaged. More complex is the design issue of the rear axle structure; some Haval models have relatively weak axle sleeves, which can become deformed and harder to disassemble. If not addressed promptly, forced removal can damage the differential system, increasing repair costs. It is recommended to use penetrating lubricant to soak overnight before attempting removal or seek help from a professional workshop.
