Sockets Socltets are used with a ratchet handle for speed and conve-
nience and can be combined with extensions and universal
joints (swivels) to reach fasteners more easily. The most
common socket drive sizes are
114 inch, 318 inch and 112 inch.
Sockets come in
6 point and 12 point styles. The 6 point offers
a better grip on tight nuts and bolts.
6 mm to 19 mm socltets
are the most needed sizes. Below is a list of typical bolt
diarn-
eters and the corresponding wrench sizes.

Spark plug socket
4 A 518" deep-well socket for sparlt plugs includes a rubber in-
sert to both protect the spark plug from damage and grip it for
easier removal.
Pliers
There are many types of pliers including snap-ring,
needle-
nose, adjustable-joint, slip-joint (Channel-lock@), and locking
(Vice-Grip@) most of which are used for holding irregular ob-
jects, bending, or crimping. Some have special applications.
Needlenose pliers are used for gripping small and poorly ac-
cessible objects, and are useful forwiring and other electrical
work. Locking pliers such as the Vise-Grip@ are useful be-
cause of their tight grip.
Snap-ring and circlip pliers with special tipped jaws are used
to remove and install snap-rings or circlips. Channel-lock@ or
water pump pliers have adjustable jaws that can be quicltly
changed to match the size of the object being held to give
greater leverage,

- Installation is reverse of removal, bearing in mind the
following:
Lightly lubricate new
spark plug threads with
copper-based anti-seize compound.
Thread plugs into cylinder head by hand to prevent
cross-threading.
. Be sure to reinstall and tighten coil grounds.
Tightening torque Spark plug
to cylinder head 25 Nm (18 It-lb)
Interior ventilation microfilter, replacing
Two interior ventilation microfilters are used, one on each
side of the engine compartment at the fire wall.
< To replace the microfilter, unclip the wire fastener and
remove the cover.
Lift out the filter, and replace. Left side shown; right is
similar.
Replace cover and clip wire fastener to retain cover.
Battery, checking, cleaning, and replacing
The battery Is located in the right side of the luggage compart-
ment. Simple maintenance of the battery and its terminal
connections will ensure maximum starting periormance,
especially in winter when colder temperatures reduce battery
power.
Battery cables should be tight. The terminals, cable clamps
and battery case should be free of the white deposits that
indicate corrosion and acid salts. Even a thin layer of dust
containing conductive acid salts can cause battery discharge.

Condition of caliper seal
(B)
Condition of caliper slider bolts (C)
NOTE-
Brake caliper removal and installation procedures are given
in
340 Brakes.

Brake system, inspecting
Routine maintenance of the brake system includes maintain-
ing the brake fluid in the reservoir,
checking bralte pads for
wear, checking parking brake function, and inspecting the
system for fluid lealts or other damage:
- Check that bralte hoses are correctly routed to avoid chafing
or
Itinking.
- lnspect unions and brake calipers for signs of fluid leaks.
- lnspect rigid lines for corrosion, dents, or other damage.
- Inspect flexible hoses for cracking
- Replace faulty hoses or lines as described in 340 Brakes.
WARNING-
Incorrect installation or overtightening hoses, lines, and
unions may cause chafing
orlealage. This can lead to partial
Parking brake, checking
The parking brake system is independent of the main braking
system and may require periodic adjustment depending on
use. Adjust the parking brake if the brake lever can be pulled
up more than
8 clicks. Check that the cable moves freely. A
description of the parking brake and
parlting bralte adjust-
ment can be found in
340 Brakes.

Maintenance
using a soft cloth. Regular use of a good quality leather condi-
tioner will reduce drying and cracking of the leather.
Polishing
Use paint polish only if the finish assumes a dull loolc afler
long service. Polish can be used to remove tar spots and tar-
nish, but
afleiwards a coat of waxshould be applied to protect
the clean finish. Do not use abrasive polish or cleaners on
aluminum trim or accessories.
Seat belts
Dirt and other abrasive particles will damage seat belt web-
bing. If it is necessary to clean seat belts, use a mild soap so-
lution. Bleach and other strong cleaning agents may weaken
the belt webbing and should be avoided.
WARNING-
Do not clean the seat belt webbing using dry cleaning or oth-
er chemicals. Allow wet belts to
dry before allowing them to
retract.
-
The condition of the belt webbing and the function of the re-
tractor mechanisms should be inspected. See
720 Seat Belts
for seat belt inspection information.
Speciai cieaning
Tarspots can be removed with a bug and tar remover. Never
use gasoline,
lterosene, nail polish remover, or other unsuit-
able solvents. Insect spots also respond to tar remover.
A bit
of baking soda dissolved in the wash water will facilitate their
removal. This method can also be used to remove tree sap
spots.
Washing chassis
Periodic washing of the underside of the car, especially in
winter, will help prevent accumulation of road salt and rust.
The best time to wash the underside is just afler the car has
been driven in wet conditions. Spray the chassis with a pow-
erful jet of water. Commercial or self-service carwashes may
not be bestforthis, as they may recycle the salt-contaminated
water.
Waxing
For a long-lasting, protective, and glossy finish, apply a hard
wax after the car has been washed and dried. Use carnauba
or synthetic based products. Waxing is not needed after
every washing. You can tell when waxing is required by
look-
