Hyundai Kona: Coupling Assembly / Direct Electro Hydraulic Actuator Coupling Repair procedures

Hyundai Kona (OS) 2018-2025 Service Manual / 4 Wheel Drive (4WD) System / Coupling Assembly / Direct Electro Hydraulic Actuator Coupling Repair procedures

Inspection
  
All units are filled up with coupling fluid (ultra-low viscosity ATF) prior to shipping. Inspection, fill-up, and replacement of coupling fluid is therefore not necessary (zero maintenance, lifetime fluid).
Removal
1.
Remove the 4WD coupling assembly bolts (A-3ea) mounted to the rear propeller shaft (B).
Tightening torque :
49.0 - 63.7 N.m (5.0 - 6.5 kgf.m, 36.1 - 47.0 lb-ft)

2.
Using a flat tool, separate the propellar shaft from 4WD coupling assembly.
3.
Disconnect the pressure sensor connector (A) and Oil hydraulic motor connector (B).

4.
Loosen the coupling assembly mounting bolts (A-4ea).
5.
Separate the 4WD coupling assembly (B) from the rear differential assembly using a rigid rod.
Tightening torque :
58.8 - 63.7 N.m (6.0 - 6.5kgf.m, 43.3 - 47.0lb-ft)

  
Coupling Maintenance Precautions

Installation
1.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
  
Smear the splines (A) with molybdenum type high pressure grease.
When install the coupling, be careful not to damage the oil seal (B).

2.
After replacing the coupling, reset the 4WD ECU's clutch learing using the GDS tool.
