-7. REMOVAL OF PISTON CUP
Using a screwdriver, remove the piston cup from the piston.
INSPECTION-
Check the following points. and if there is any abnormality, replacethe entire wheel cylinder assembly.
(1) Check piston and wheel cylinder walls for rust or damage.(2) Check clearance between the cylinder and the piston.
Measure in two perpendicular directions to figure the clear-
ance between the wheel cylinder inner diameter
fmax.value)and the piston outer diameter (minvalue).
Limit : 0.15 mm (4059 in.)
NOTE
If the difference is more than the limit, replace the piston and
wheel cylinder as an assembly.This number corresponds to
the number in “Removal
steps”,“Disassembly
steps”,“Installation steps”
or “Reassembly steps”.

13.BRAKE HOSES (Check for deteriorati.on or
leaks)NwBBnAs
Inspection of brake hoses and tubing should be included inall brake service operations.
The hoses should be checked for:
1. Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuf-
fing or worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses is
exposed by cracks of abrasion in the rubber hose cover,
the hoses should be replaced. Eventual deterioration ofhose may occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interference with
wheel, tire of chassis.
14.BALL JOINT AND STEERING LINKAGE SEALS
(Inspect for grease leaks and damage)
NWSBJAb1. These components, which are permanently lubricated
at the factory, do not require periodic lubrication.
Damaged seals and boots should be replaced to
prevent leakage or contamination of the grease.
2. Inspect the dust cover and boots for proper sealing,
leakage and damage. Replace them if defective.
15.DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS (Inspect for grease leaksand damage)
NWSBJAc1. These components, which are permanently lubricated
at the factory, do not require periodic lubrication.
Damaged boots should be replaced to prevent leakage
or contamination of the grease.
2. Inspect the boots for proper sealing, leakage and
damage. Replace it if defective.
16.REAR AXLE (CONVENTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL)(Inspect oil level)-AWD
NWSBFCa
Remove the filler plug and inspect the oil level at bottom offiller hole. If the oil level is slightly below the filler hole, it is
in satisfactory condition.
16.REAR AXLE (LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL)
(Oil change)-AWD
N66SBFCcBefore changing the rear axle oil, check to make sure that
there is no oil leakage from the rear axle housing.
Remove the drain plug and drain out of the oil.
Put the oil plug back in place, and then pour new oil in
through the filler hole.
17.EXHAUST SYSTEM (CONNECTION PORTION
OF MUFFLER, PIPING AND CONVERTER HEATSHIELDS) (Check and service as
require$dBu.
1. Check for holes and gas leaks due to damage, corro-
sion, etc.
2.Check the joints and connections for looseness and gas
leaks.3. Check the hanger rubber and brackets for damage.

(3)If the starting torque and hub end play are not within thelimit range while the nut is tightened to
200-260 Nm
(144- 188 ftlbs.), the bearing, hub and/or knuckle haveprobably not been installed correctly. Repeat the

8. REMOVAL OF DRIVE SHAFT.’
(1) Use the suitable tool to push out the drive shaft from
the front hub.
(2)

Insert a pry bar between the transaxle case and the
drive shaft, and then pry the drive shaft from the
transaxle.Caution
1. Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will
damage the T.J.; be sure to use the pry bar.
2.Do not insert the pry bar so deep as the damage
the oil seal.
A/T>Refer to
P.2-23.Caution
Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing
while the drive shaft is disconnected. If the vehicle
weight must unavoidably be applied (because of
vehicle movement or some other reason), use the
special tool to hold the wheel bearing, as shown in the
figure.
INSPECTIONN62CXACl Check the drive shaft boot for damage or deterioration.
l Check the ball joints for wear or operating condition.
l Check the spline part for wear or damage.
