3F-2 WHEELS AND TIRES
The metric term for tire inflation pressure is the kilopascal (kPa).
Tire pressures will usually be printed in both kPa and psi on the Tire
Placard. Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers. The
chart, left table, converts commonly used inflation pressures from
kPa to psi.kPakgf / cm2psi

WHEELS REPLACEMENT
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have excessive
lateral or radial runout, leak air through welds, have elongated bolt
holes, if lug nuts won't stay tight, or if they are heavily rusted.
Wheels with greater runout than shown in left figure may cause ob-
jectional vibrations.
Wheels for replacement must be equivalent to the originally
equipped wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width, off-set and
mounting configuration. A wheel of improper size or type may affect
wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer / odometer cal-
ibration, ground clearance to the body and chassis.
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use accurate dial
indicator. The tire may be on or off the wheel. The wheel should be
installed to the wheel balancer of the like for proper measurement.
Take measurements of both lateral runout and radial runout at both
inside and outside of the rim flange. With dial indicator set in place
securely, turn the wheel one full revolution slowly and record every
reading of the indicator.
When the measured runout exceeds the specification and correc-
tion by the balancer adjustment is impossible, replace the wheel.
If the reading is affected by welding, paint or scratch, it should be
ignored.
Lateral runout limit ªaº: 1.20 mm (0.047 in.)
Radial runout limit ªbº: 1.20 mm (0.047 in.)
METRIC LUG NUTS AND WHEEL STUDS
All models use metric lug nuts and wheel studs (size M12 x 1.25).

1) Insert bearing race into yoke, tapping it with a hammer, until it is
flush with yoke face. When doing this, insert spider into bearing
race to prevent rollers in bearing race from coming out.
2) Insert the other bearing race on the opposite side into yoke, tap-
ping with a hammer until it is flush with yoke face.
3) Insert bearing races on the flange yoke side in the same way as
described in 1) and 2) above.
4) Place a metal plate on bearing races when tapping them in to
avoid damaging yoke.
5) Securely fit 4 circlips to shaft and flange yoke.
NOTE:

After assembly, check to ensure that both shaft yoke and
flange yoke move smoothly.

Make sure that each circlip is fitted in groove securely.

Use following specification to torque universal joint flange bolts
(and center support bolts).

BRAKES PIPE / HOSE / MASTER CYLINDER 5A-3
LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) ASSEMBLY (if equipped)
As shown in figure below, LSPV is included within the brake circuit which connects the master cylinder and the rear
wheel brake. It controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the rear wheel brake according to the loaded state of the
vehicle (or weight of the load), whereby preventing the rear wheels from getting locked prematurely.
Also, it releases the above described control over the hydraulic pressure applied to the rear wheel brake, should
any failure occur in the hydraulic circuit of the front wheel brake so that the hydraulic pressure produced in the mas-
ter cylinder is applied to the rear wheel brake directly to operate it.
CONSTITUTION
The LSPV components are grouped into three sections as follows.
ªAº: Sensor section
The main parts in this section are a lever and a spring which senses variation in the vehicle height as affected
by the loaded condition and converts it into the load.
ªBº: Hydraulic pressure control section
Included in this section are a stepped plunger and valve mechanism to execute proportional control.
ªCº: Fail-safe section
The main parts in this section are a chamber which draws in the hydraulic pressure from the front wheel brake
system and a fail-safe piston which releases the valve mechanism in the control section connected to the rear
wheel brake, should any failure occur in the front wheel brake system.

Brake Disc
Before this inspection, brake pads must be removed.
Check disc surface for scratches in wearing parts. Scratches on
disc surface noticed at the time of specified inspection or replace-
ment are normal and disc is not defective unless they are serious.
But when there are deep scratches or scratches all over disc sur-
face, replace it. When only one side is scratched, polish and correct
that side.
Disc thickness ªaº
Standard: 22 mm (0.866 in.) For SUMITOMO ELECTRIC. . . . .

Service limit: 20 mm (0.787 in.) For SUMITOMO ELECTRIC. .
brake caliper
15 mm (0.590 in.) For TOKICO brake caliper. .
Use wheel nuts and suitable plain washers to hold the disc securely
against the hub, then mount a dial indicator as shown and measure
the runout at 25 mm (0.98 in.) from the outer edge of the disc.
Limit on disc deflection: 0.15 mm (0.006 in.)
NOTE:
Check front wheel bearing for looseness before measure-
ment.
Cylinder Slide Guide Pin / Pin Bolt
Check guide pin for smooth movement as shown.
If it is found faulty, correct or replace. Apply rubber grease to guide
pin outer surface. Rubber grease should be the on whose viscosity
is less affected by such low temperature a ±40
C (±40
F).
Dust Boot
Check boot for breakage, crack and damage. If defective, replace.
