NOTE:

All propeller shaft fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance of vital
parts and systems, and / or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of the
same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replace-
ment part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reas-
sembly to assure proper retention of this part.

Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any propeller shaft part. Replace it with a new part, or dam-
age to the part may result.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Most universal joints require no maintenance. They are lubricated for life and can not be lubricated on the vehicle.
If a universal joint becomes noisy or worn, it must be replaced.
The propeller shaft is a balanced unit. Handle it carefully so that balance can be maintained.

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.
INSTALLATION

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

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:

Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to ªAir Bag System Components and Wiring Location Viewº under ªGener-
al Descriptionº in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and ªService Precau-
tionsº under ªOn-Vehicle Serviceº in air bag system section before performing service on or around
the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in unintentional
activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two conditions may
result in severe injury.

Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
ªLOCKº position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system may
be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:

When inspecting and servicing vehicle equipped with ABS, be sure to refer to section 5E or 5E1 first.

All brake fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital parts
and systems, and / or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of same part
number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of
lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to as-
sure proper retention of all parts. There is to be no welding as it may result in extensive damage and
weakening of the metal.

4) When fluid pressure in the cylinder is almost depleted, retigh-
ten bleeder plug.
5) Repeat this operation until there are no more air bubbles in hy-
draulic line.
6) When bubbles stop, depress and hold brake pedal and tighten
bleeder plug.
For tightening torque specification of air bleeder plug, re-
fer to ªTIGHTENING TORQUE SPECIFICATIONº in this
section.
7) Then attach bleeder plug cap.
8) After completing bleeding operation, apply fluid pressure to
pipe line and check for leakage.
9) Replenish fluid into reservoir up to specified level.
10) Check brake pedal for ªsponginessº. If found spongy, repeat
entire procedure of bleeding.

BRAKE PEDAL FREE HEIGHT CHECK
Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s) so as to
measure brake pedal free height between pedal face and asphalt
sheet installed on dash panel.
Brake pedal free height ªaº from asphalt sheet:
208 ± 218 mm (8.19 ± 8.58 in.)
If the measurement is not within the specification, check the posi-
tion of booster push rod clevis and / or stop light switch according
to the instruction shown in this section.
The free height varies depending on installation position of booster
push rod clevis and stop light switch.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment should be made as follows when installing switch. Pull
up brake pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust switch
position so that clearance between end of thread and brake pedal
return cushion (shown as ªbº in figure).
Then tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Clearance ªbº: 1.5 ± 2.0 mm (0.06 ± 0.08 in.)
Tightening Torque
(b): 7.5 N
.m (0.75 kg-m, 5.5 lb-ft)
EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL CHECK
1) Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s).
2) Start engine.
3) Depress brake pedal a few times.
4) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs)
load, measure pedal to asphalt sheet clearance ªcº.
Clearance ªcº: over 115 mm (4.53 in.)
5) If clearance ªcº is less than specification, the most possible
cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond limit or air
is in lines.
Should clearance ªcº remain less than specification even after
replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of system, other pos-
sible but infrequent cause is malfunction of rear brake shoe ad-
justers or booster push rod length out of adjustment.
