Removal andInstallation (Cont'd)

• Install pipeconnector.
• Observe specified tightening torquewhentightening high-
pressure andlow-pressure pipeconnectors. Excessive
tightening willdamage threadsofconnector orO-ring.

Low-pressure side
27 -39 N'm (2.8-4.0 kg-m, 20-29 ft-Ib)
~ High-pressure side
15 -25 N'm (1.5-2.5 kg-m, 11-18 ft-Ib)

• The O-ring inlow-pressure pipeconnector islarger than
that inhigh-pressure connector.Takecaretoinstall the
proper O-ring.
• Initially, tightennutontie-rod outersocket andknuckle arm
to 29 to39 N'm (3to 4kg-m, 22to29 ft-Ib). Thentighten fur-
ther toalign nutgroove withfirstpinhole sothat cotter pin
can beinstalled.

CAUTION:
Tightening torquemustnotexceed 49N'm (5kg-m, 36ft-Ib).

• Before removing lowerjointfrom gear, setgear inneutral
(wheels instraight-ahead position).Afterremoving lower
joint, putmatching markonpinion shaftandpinion housing
to record neutral position.
• Toinstall, setleftand right dustboots toequal deflection.
Attach lowerjointbyaligning matching marksofpinion
shaft andpinion ~ousing.
• Tighten gearhousing mounting bracketboltsinthe order
shown.
