CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the height sens-
ing proportioning valve. If found to be defective,
replace the valve.(9) Remove the pressure test fittings and pressure
gauges from the proportioning valve. (10) Install the chassis brake lines in the correct
ports of the proportioning valve. Tighten all tube
nuts to 17 N´m (145 in. lbs.). (11) If necessary, repeat the above steps on the
remaining side of the proportioning valve which con-
trol the other rear wheel brake. (12) Attach the actuator lever and bracket to the
rear axle. (13) Bleed rear brakes. (Refer t o 5 - BRAKES -
STANDARD PROCEDURE) (14) Road test vehicle.

REMOVAL - PROPORTIONING VALVE (HEIGHT
SENSING)
(1) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past its first 1 inch of
travel. This will prevent brake fluid from draining
out of the master cylinder when the brake tubes are
removed from the proportioning valve. (2) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the proportioning valve, the proportioning valve and
the brake tubes must be thoroughly cleaned. This is
required to prevent contamination from entering the
proportioning valve or the brake tubes.
(3) Remove the four brake tubes from the inlet and
outlet ports of the proportioning valve (Fig. 81). (4) Remove the two bolts attaching the proportion-
ing valve and bracket to the vehicle (Fig. 81). (5) Slide the bracket out from under rear track bar
bracket. Lower the valve down enough to pull its
actuator rod out of the axle bracket and remove the
proportioning valve from the vehicle.
INSTALLATION - PROPORTIONING VALVE
(HEIGHT SENSING)
(1) Install the end of the actuator rod through the
axle bracket grommet and slide the proportioning
valve bracket under the rear track bar body bracket
(Fig. 81). (2) Install the proportioning valve attaching bolts
(Fig. 81). Tighten the attaching bolts to a torque of
54 N´m (40 ft. lbs.). (3) Install the four chassis brake lines into the
inlet and outlet ports of the proportioning valve (Fig.
81). Tighten all tube nuts to a torque of 17 N´m (145
in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The height sensing proportioning valve
is not adjustable. No attempt should be made to
adjust it.
(4) Bleed the brake system thoroughly to ensure
that all air has been expelled from the hydraulic sys-
tem. (Refer t o 5 - BRAKES - BASE - STANDARD
PROCEDURE). (5) Lower the vehicle to the ground.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: The crossbar assemblies are designed to be
installed in only one way. Check top and bottom
surfaces of the crossbar for the word FRONT and
directional arrows. The directional arrows must
point toward the front of the vehicle.
(1) Place crossbar in position on vehicle.
(2) Work from side to side sliding the crossbar
assembly back a little at a time to ensure it remains
perpendicular to the side rails.
(3) Position first crossbar assembly crossbar at the
second most rearward locator holes. Press the top of
the stanchion lever to lock it into position.
(4) Position the second crossbar assembly in the
second hole from the front. Lock into place.
(5) Place luggage rack riser into position.
(6) Install two fasteners into riser. Tighten fasten-
ers to 4 mm (35 in. lbs.) torque.
REAR QUARTER PANEL/
FENDER AIR EXHAUSTER
DESCRIPTION
Air exhausters, designed to conform to the body
structure, allow air entering at the front of the vehi-
cle to flow out the back. By reducing air pressure
within the vehicle, the exhausters also reduce blower
noise at any given air flow level compared to operat-
ing without them and help reduce door closing effort.
They are located in the lower rear comers of the
body.
REMOVAL
SHORT WHEELBASE
(1) Remove the rear fascia from the body. (Refer to
13 - FRAMES & BUMPERS/BUMPERS/REAR FAS-
CIA - REMOVAL).
(2) Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat
bladed tool, carefully pry the air exhauster away
from the opening in the lower aperture panel until
the snap features release (Fig. 19).
(3) Remove the air exhauster from the hole in the
lower aperture panel.
LONG WHEELBASE
NOTE: Models with the optional rear heater and air
conditioner do not have an air exhauster on the
right side of the vehicle, but have a plastic plug
installed in the right lower aperture panel. This plug
is removed using the same procedure used toremove the air exhauster from the short wheelbase
model. Refer to SHORT WHEELBASE.
(1) Remove the quarter trim panel from the inside
of the left or right quarter inner panel (Refer to 23 -
BODY/INTERIOR/RIGHT QUARTER TRIM PANEL
- REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/
LEFT QUARTER TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL).
(2) Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat
bladed tool, carefully pry the air exhauster away
from the opening in the lower aperture panel until
the snap features release (Fig. 20).
(1) Remove the air exhauster from the hole in the
lower aperture panel.

INSTALLATION
SHORT WHEELBASE
(1) Position the air exhauster to the hole in the
lower aperture panel (Fig. 19).
(2) Using hand pressure, press the air exhauster
into the opening in the lower aperture panel until
the snap features are fully engaged.
(3) Reinstall the rear fascia onto the body. (Refer
to 13 - FRAMES & BUMPERS/BUMPERS/REAR
FASCIA - INSTALLATION).
LONG WHEELBASE
NOTE: Models with the optional rear heater and air
conditioner do not have an air exhauster on the
right side of the vehicle, but have a plastic plug
installed in the right lower aperture panel. This plug
is installed using the same procedure used to
install the air exhauster onto the short wheelbase
model. Refer to SHORT WHEELBASE.
(1) Position the air exhauster to the hole in the
lower aperture panel (Fig. 20).
(2) Using hand pressure, press the air exhauster
into the opening in the lower aperture panel until
the snap features are fully engaged.
(3) Reinstall the quarter trim panel onto the inside
of the left or right quarter inner panel. (Refer to 23 -
BODY/INTERIOR/RIGHT QUARTER TRIM PANEL
- INSTALLATION) or (Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERI-
OR/LEFT QUARTER TRIM PANEL - INSTALLA-
TION).
ROOF JOINT MOLDING
REMOVAL
The RAP molding is set with body side molding
tape. The temperature in the work area and the vehi-
cle should be at least 21É C (70É F) to avoid damag-
ing the RAP moldings.
(1) Warm the affected stick-on molding and body
metal to approximately 38É C (100É F) using a suit-
able heat lamp or heat gun.
(2) Pull stick-on molding from painted surface.
(3) Remove adhesive tape residue from painted
surface of vehicle. Use a 3M Scotch-BriteŸ Molding
Adhesive and Stripe Removal Discs, or equivalent, to
clean adhesive residue from painted surfaces. The
adhesive removal discs are available from automotive
paint suppliers. Refer to instructions supplied with
the discs for proper usage.
INSTALLATION
The RAP molding is set with body side molding
tape. The temperature in the work area and the vehi-
cle should be at least 21É C (70É F) to avoid damag-
ing the RAP moldings.
(1) If molding is to be reused;
(a) Remove tape residue from molding.
(b) Clean back of molding with MopartSuper
Kleen solvent, or equivalent.
(c) Wipe molding dry with lint free cloth.
(d) Apply new body side molding (two sided
adhesive) tape to back of molding.
(2) Clean body surface with MopartSuper Kleen
solvent, or equivalent. Wipe surface dry with lint free
cloth.
(3) Remove protective cover from tape on back of
molding.
(4) Apply molding to body from front of vehicle to
