PRbCEDURES
WHEEL BEARING END PLAY INSPECTIONM27FBAG
1.Inspect the play of the bearings while the vehicle is jacked
up and resting on floor jack.
2. Remove the hub cap and then release the parking brake.
3. Remove the caliper assembly and the brake disc.
4. Check the bearing’s end play.
Place a dial gauge against the hub surface; then move the
hub in the axial direction and check whether or not there is
end play.
Limit: 0.05 mm
(.002 in.) or less
NOTEIf the limit value is exceeded, the lock nut should be
tightened to the specified torque and check the end play
again.5. Replace the rear hub bearing unit if an adjustment cannot
be made to within the limit.
REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING RESISTANCE (TOR-
QUE) INSPECTION
M27FFAD
1.Inspect the play of the bearings while the vehicle is jacked
up and resting on floor jack.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Remove the caliper assembly and the brake disc.
4.
5.After turning the
huba few times to seat the bearing, attach
a spring balance to the hub bolt, and, pulling at a 90” angle
from the hub bolt, measure to determine whether or not
the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub (the rotary-
sliding torque of the rear hub) is the standard value.
Limit:
Rear hub rotary-sliding resistance
31 N (7 Ibs.) or lessRear hub rotary-sliding torque
1.8 Nm (1.30 ft.lbs.) or less
NOTEIf the limit value is exceeded, loosen the nut and then
tighten it to the specified torque, and check the rear hub
rotary-sliding torque again.
Replace the rear hub unit bearing if an adjustment cannot
be made to within the limit.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
REAR AXLE TOTAL BACKLASH CHECKM27FAAG
If the vehicle vibrates and produces a booming sound due to an
imbalance of the driving system, measure the rear axle total
backlash by the following procedures to see if the differential
carrier assembly required removal.
(1) Place the gearshift lever in the neutral position, apply the
parking brake and jack up the vehicle.
(2) Manually turn the propeller shaft clockwise as far as it will
go and make mating marks on the companion flange dustshield and the differential carrier.
(3) Manually turn the propeller shaft counterclockwise as far as
it will go and measure the movement of the mating marks.Limit: 5 mm
(.2 in.)
(4) If the backlash exceeds the limit, remove the differential
carrier assembly and adjust the backlash. (Refer to P.27-26.)
GEAR OIL LEVEL CHECKM27FCAG1. Remove the filler plug, and check the oil level.
2. The oil level is sufficient if it reaches the filler plug hole.

REAR WHEEL BEARING END PLAY CHECKM27FBAF1. Support the vehicle on axle stands positioned at the
specified locations and remove the rear wheel.
2. Separate the parking brake cable from the rear brake.
3. Remove the caliper assembly and brake disc.
4. Place a dial gauge as shown in the illustration, and then
measure the play when the axle shaft is moved in the axial
direction.Limit: 0.8 mm
(.031 in.)
5.If the play exceeds the limit, check the tightening torque ofthe companion flange of the axle shaft; if it is correct,
replace the wheel bearing.

CHECKM27FJAB1. Remove the drive shaft from the companion flange.
2. Remove the brake pad or caliper assembly.
3. Attach a spring balance to the hub bolt, then, pulling the
‘d ’balance at a right angle to the hub bolt, measure the
rotation torque (rotation starting torque) to see whether it iswithin the standard value.
Standard value: 12 N (2.6 Ibs.) [rotation starting torque0.7 Nm (6
in.lbs.)] or less
4. If the rotation starting torque exceeds the standard value,
check the tightening torque of the axle shaft companion
flange. If it is normal, replace the bearing.
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL CHECKM27FlAB
1.Block the front wheels and move the shift lever to neutral.2. Completely release the parking brake.
3. Jack up the rear wheels and place a rigid rack at the
specified part of the side sill.
4. Disconnect the coupling of the differential and propeller
shaft.LJ5. When one wheel is slowly rotated, check whether or not
the wheel on the other side turns in the same direction.
6.If it turns in the opposite direction, replace the viscous unit.

(1) With the beveled (large) part of the rear wheel oil pump
drive gear at the inner side, press in the drive gear (by
using the special tool) until the drive gear contacts theend surface of the
.differential case.
(2) Check to ensure that the drive gear and the spring pin
are flush.4. INSTALLATION OF DRIVE PINION REAR BEARING
OUTER RACE
/ 5. DRIVE PINION FRONT BEARING
OUTER RACE
Press-fit the drive pinion rear and front bearing outer racesinto the gear carrier by using the special tools.
CautionBe careful not to press in the outer race at an angle.
. DRIVE PINION HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the drive pinion height by the following procedures:
(1) Install special tools and drive pinion front and rear
bearing inner races on the gear carrier in the sequenceshown in the illustration.
NOTE
Apply a thin coat of multipurpose grease to the matingface of the washer of the special tool.
(2) Tighten the handle of the special tool until the standardvalue of drive pinion rotation torque is obtained.
(3) Measure the drive pinion rotation torque (without the oil
seal).

(1) Gradually tighten the nut of the special tool while checkingthe drive pinion rotation torque.
(2) Because the special tool cannot be turned one turn, turn it
several times within the range that it can be turned; then,after fitting to the bearing, measure the rotation torque.
