Lubrication Points
For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied. refer to the illustrated index and various work pro-
cedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
Recomm6nded Engine OilEngine oil viscosity for ambient temperature ranges
100'F
-30 -20 .10 0 10 20 30 40'c
r1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid {MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the orooer additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect
shift qualitv.+3r Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.*4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmis-
sion fluid can caused increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

Power Steering Gearbox
Removal
Note these items during removal:
. Using solvent and a brush, wash any oil and dirt off
the valve body unit its lines, and the end if the gear-
box. Blow dry with compressed air.
. Be sure to remove the steering wheel before discon-
necting the steering joint. Damage to the cable reel
can occur.
. With 4WD. tilt the engine with a jack to expand the
clearance between the transfer assembly and rear
beam when removing the steering gearbox from the
rear oeam.
Do not remove the steering gearbox by removing the
transfer assembly from the transmission.
1. Drain the power steering fluid as described on page'17-15.
Raise the vehicle, and suppon it on safety stands in
the proper locations (see section 1).
Remove the front wheels,
Remove the drive/s airbag assembly {see section 24).
Remove the steering wheel {see page 17-18).
Remove the steering joint bolts, then disconnect the
steering joint by moving the joint toward the column.

Install the 10 mm hex nut on the ball joint. Be sure
that the 10 mm hex nut is flush with the ball joint
pin end, or the threaded section of the ball joint pin
might be damaged by the special tool. Refer to sec-
tion 18 for ball joint remover usage instruction, Be
careful not to damaging the ball joint boot.
Separate the tie-rod ball joint and knuckle using the
special tool.
Remove the right and left tie-rod ends, then extend
the rack all the way to the right.
Remove the TWC (see section 9).
Disconnect the shift linkage from the transmission

Reassembly
Note these items during reassembly
. Clean the disassembled parts with a solvent, and dry them with compressed air. Do not dip the rubber parts in a sol-
vent.
. Always replace the O-rings and rubber seals with new ones before assembly.
. Apply the recommended power steering fluid to the parts indicated in the assembly procedures.
. Do not allow dust. dirt, or other toreign materials to enter the power steering system.
. Use the appropriate specialtools where necessary.
