Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO
THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.

Inspection and Repair
1. Make the necessary repair or parts replacement if
wear, damage or any other abnormal conditions are
found during inspection.
2. Wash all parts thoroughly in clean solvent. Be sure all
old lubricant, metallic particles, dirt, or foreign
material are removed from the surfaces of every part.
Apply compressed air to each oil feed port and
channel in each case half to remove any obstructions
or cleaning solvent residue.
Gears
1. Inspect all the gear teeth for signs of excessive wear
or damage and check all the gear splines for burrs,
nicks, wear or damage. Remove the minor nicks or
scratches on an oil stone. Replace any part exhibiting
excessive wear or damage.
Front Output Gear Inside Diameter
1. Use an inside dial indicator to measure the gear inside
diameter.
