PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
PrecautionsEDS0035E
CAUTION:

Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand symptoms well. Perform correct and system-
atic operations.

Check for the correct installation status prior removal or disassembly. When matching marks are
required, be sure they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.

Carry out an overhaul in a clean work place, Using a dust proof room is recommended.

Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the
exterior the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.

Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and abnormal wear. If a
malfunction is detected, replace it with a new one.

Normally replace lock pins, oil seals, and bearings with new ones every times they are removed.

In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to out-
side. If tightening sequence is specified, observe it.

Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.

Be careful not to damage the sliding surfaces and mating surface.

When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any mois-
ture, oil, and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.

Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.

Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent entering of lint.

During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and new differential gear oil, Vaseline,
or multi-purpose grease, as specified for each vehicle, when necessary.
Precautions for Liquid GasketEDS0035F
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing nuts and bolts, separate the mating surface and
remove old liquid gasket sealing using Tool.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

Tap seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the
side as shown.

In areas where Tool is difficult to use, use plastic hammer to
lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket
application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the gas-
ket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering
moisture, grease and foreign materials.Tool number : KV10111100 (J-37228)

3. Attach liquid gasket tube to Tool.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for liquid gasket application, apply liquid
gasket to the groove.

As for bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside the
holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of this manual.

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.

If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten nuts or bolts after the installation.

After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe
them.Tool number : WS39930000 ( — )
