WARNING:

Clean dust on brake caliper and pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed
air.
CAUTION:

Never depress brake pedal while removing cylinder body because piston will pop out.

Do not remove brake hose and torque member mounting bolts unless disassembling or replacing
caliper assembly. Hang the cylinder body with a wire so that the brake hose is not under tension.

Be careful not to damage piston boot. Do not allow brake fluid to get the rotor.

When replacing brake pads, always replace inner shims, outer shims, and shim covers as a set.

PAD WEAR INSPECTION
Check pad thickness by lifting vehicle, removing tyre and wheel, and
looking through check hole on cylinder body. If necessary, use a
scale.

REMOVAL
Pay attention to the following when removing sensor.
CAUTION:

As much as possible, avoid rotating sensor when removing it. Pull sensors out without pulling on
sensor harness.

Take care to avoid damaging sensor edges or rotor teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before
removing front or rear wheel hub. This is to avoid damage to sensor wiring and loss of sensor
function.
INSTALLATION
Pay attention to the following when installing sensor. Tighten installation bolts to specified torques.

When installing, check that there is no foreign material such as iron chips on pick-up and mounting hole of
the sensor. Check that no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor. Remove any foreign mate-
rial and clean the mount.

When installing front sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at the three locations
shown in the figure (2 at strut and 1 at body panel). When installed, harness must not be twisted.

Removal and InstallationEFS001CD
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage sensor edge and rotor tooth. Before removing front or rear wheel hub,
remove wheel sensor to avoid sensor wiring damage. Otherwise, sensor may be deactivated.

When removing sensor, avoid rotating it as much as possible. Do not forcibly pull sensor harness.

When installing, check sensor pick-up and mounting hole for foreign material such as iron chips.
Check no foreign material has been caught in sensor rotor. Remove any foreign material found.
Tighten mounting bolts and nuts to the specified torque.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEGS0004E
PLAY INSPECTION
1. Turn steering wheel to straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn steering wheel clockwise and
counter clockwise until front wheels start moving. Measure travel to starting point on circumference of
steering wheel.
2. If play is outside specifications, check following parts for proper installation: steering gear assembly, front
suspension, axles, and steering column.

Check steering wheel for vertical, horizontal, or axial play.

Lift vehicle and check steering gear mounting bolts and nuts for looseness.
NEUTRAL POSITION INSPECTION

After the wheel alignment inspection, carry out the neutral position inspection. Refer to FSU-6, "Wheel
Alignment" .

Before removing steering wheel, check steering gear neutral position.
1. Set vehicle to straight-ahead position, and check that steering wheel is in neutral position.
2. If it is not in neutral position, remove steering wheel, and install again in properly.
3. If it is not adjusted within two teeth from center of gear, loosen tie rod lock nut. Then turn it to opposite
direction to adjust until amount of left and right becomes equal.
STEERING TORQUE CHECK
1. Stop vehicle on a dry flat paved road and apply parking brake.
2. Start engine and wait until power steering fluid warms up. Using
a preload gauge (SST), check rotating torque of steering wheel.
3. If torque is outside specifications, check rack sliding torque and
oil pump relief pressure.
STEERING ANGLE INSPECTION

After toe-in inspection, check steering angle. Place front wheels
on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands. Level the
vehicle. Check maximum inner and outer wheel steering angles
for LH and RH road wheels.Steering wheel play inspection standard : 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)

lower joint.
3. Remove mounting bolt and nut from upper side of lower joint.
4. Remove footrest.
5. Remove hole cover and lower joint from vehicle.
6. Remove clamp and lower seal cover from hole cover.

Disassembly and AssemblyEGS00095
DISASSEMBLY

Disassembly and assembly procedures should be done with steering lock unlocked.
1. Remove combination switch and spiral cable from jacket tube.
2. Remove jacket tube-to-column shaft mounting nut and remove column shaft from jacket tube.
3. Remove spring from mount assembly.
4. Remove mounting nut and adjusting stopper.
5. Remove steering adjusting bolt and remove tilt lever stopper and tilt lever.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

If steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the following and replace malfunctioning part.
1. Check column shaft bearing for damage and other malfunctions. Lubricate with grease or replace column
shaft if necessary.
2. Check jacket tube for deformation and cracks, and replace if necessary.

If vehicle has slightly crashed, measure dimension “L” as
shown. If outside standard, replace steering column assem-
bly.
ASSEMBLY

Refer to component parts drawing for tightening torque and reverse disassembly procedure for assembly.

After assembling steering column, check tilt mechanism.
