SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTIONN17FAAC
The rear suspension assembly must be free of worn, loosen or
damaged parts prior to measurement of rear wheel alignment.
Standard value:
Toe-in (Left-right difference)
Of3 mm (Of.118 in.)
Camber-45’ + 30’
NOTEThe rear wheel alignment is set at the factory and cannot be
adjusted.If toe-in or camber is not within the standard value, replace
bent or damaged parts.
WHEEL BEARING END PLAY ADJUSTMENT,7FBA0
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 isend play.
Limit: 0.01 mm
(.004 in.) or less
NOTE12AO531If 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.

(1) Compress the return spring with the special tool.
(2) Remove the snap ring.
SERVICE POINTS OF REASSEMBLY6. INSTALLATION OF SNAP RING
(1) Compress the return spring with the special tool.
(2) Install the snap ring.
5. INSTALLATION OF CLUTCH PRESSURE
PLATE/3.CLUTCH
DISC/P. CLUTCH REACTION PLATE
(1) Assemble the clutch pressure plate, clutch plate and
clutch reaction plate, arranging them by the missing
tooth [See figure
@I.
NOTEThis is so the automatic transmission fluid escapes
easily and there is good cooling of the plate and disc.
(2) Assembly the plates so the beveled side is as shown inthe figure.
(3) Assemble so the thickest plate (clutch reaction plate) is
on the snap ring side.
1.SELECTION OF SNAP RING
Check clearance between the snap ring and clutch reaction
plate. To check the clearance, hold entire circumference ofthe clutch reaction plate down with 50
N (11 Ibs.) force. If
clearance is out of standard value, select a snap ring to
obtain the standard value.
Standard value:
0.7-0.9 mm (.028-.035 in;)
0.8-1.0 mm (.032-.039 in.)

PLATE/8. CLUTCH REACTION PLATE
(1) Install the clutch pressure plate, clutch plates and clutchreaction plate with their missing tooth portions
(@ in
the illustration) in alignment.
NOTE
This design is to facilitate escape of automatic transmis-sion fluid and improve the cooling efficiency of the
plates and disc.
(2) Install the clutch reaction plate with its shear droop
directed as shown in the illustration.
7. SELECTION OF SNAP RING
Check clearance between the snap ring and clutch reaction
plate. To check the clearance, hold entire circumference ofthe clutch reaction plate down with 50
N (11 Ibs.) force. If
clearance is out of standard value, select a snap ring to
obtain the standard value.
Standard value:
0.3-0.5 mm (.012-.020 in.)
