diameter: 65 mm (2.56 in))
4) Wipe clean the oil filter matching surface on cyl-
inder block or oil cooler.
5) Get a new engine oil filter and apply a thin coat of
engine oil to the seal rubber.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to use the oil filter 80 mm (3.15 in)
in diameter to turbo model.6) Install the oil filter by turning it by hand, being
careful not to damage the seal rubber.
 Tighten the oil filter 80 mm (3.15 in) or 65 mm
(2.56 in) in diameter by approx. 2/3 — 3/4 rotation
more after the seal rubber of oil filter comes in con-
tact with cylinder block or oil cooler.
 Tighten the oil filter 68 mm (2.68 in) in diameter
by approx. 1 rotation more after the seal rubber of
oil filter comes in contact with cylinder block or oil
cooler.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten excessively, or oil may leak.
7) After installing the oil filter, run the engine and
make sure that no oil is leaking around seal rubber.
NOTE:
The filter element and filter case are permanently
joined; therefore, interior cleaning is not necessary.
8) Check the engine oil level. PROCEDURE, Pre-delivery Inspection.>

Brake Line
18.Brake Line
A: INSPECTION
1. BRAKE LINE
1) Check scratches, swelling, corrosion, traces of
fluid leakage on the brake hoses or pipe joints.
2) Check the possibility of adjacent parts interfering
with brake pipes or hoses during driving, and loose
connections or clamps.
3) Check any trace of fluid leakage, scratches, etc.
on the master cylinder, wheel cylinder and pres-
sure control valve.
NOTE:
 When the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank is
lower than the specified limit, the brake fluid warn-
ing light on the combination meter will come on.
 Visually check the brake hose (using a mirror
where it is difficult to see) for any damage.
B: CHECKING
1. SERVICE BRAKE
1) Check the free play of brake pedal with a force of
less than 10 N (1 kgf, 2 lb).
Brake pedal free play:
0.5 — 2.0 mm (0.02 — 0.08 in)
2) If the free play is out of specifications above, ad-
just the brake pedal as follows.
(1) Be sure the engine is off. (No vacuum is ap-
plied to brake booster.)
(2) There should be play between brake boost-
er clevis and pin at brake pedal installing por-
tion.
[Depress brake pedal pad with a force of less
than 10 N (1 kgf, 2 lb) to a stroke of 0.5 to 2.0
mm (0.02 to 0.08 in).]
(3) Depress the surface of brake pad by hand.

Brake Linings and Drums
21.Brake Linings and Drums
A: INSPECTION
1. REAR DRUM BRAKE
1) Remove the brake drum, and check that there is
no fluid leakage from wheel cylinder.
If there is fluid leakage from wheel cylinder, inspect
the wheel cylinder, and then repair or replace it.
2) Inspect the brake shoes for damage or deformi-
ties and check brake linings for wear.
CAUTION:
 Always replace both leading and trailing
brake shoes for the right and left wheels at the
same time.
 When either the right and left brake assembly
is replaced, always replace the leading shoe
and trailing shoe of the other.
Thickness of lining (except back metal)
Standard value: 4.1 mm (0.161 in)
Service limit: 1.5 mm (0.059 in)
3) Check the brake drum for wear, dents or other
damage.
If the inside surface of brake drum is streaked, cor-
rect the surface with emery cloth (#200 or more). If
it is unevenly worn, tapered or the outside surface
of brake drum is damaged, correct or replace it.
Brake drum inner diameter
Standard value: 228.6 mm (9.000 in)
Service limit: 230.6 mm (9.079 in)If deformation or wear of back plate, shoe, etc. is
noticeable, replace the affected parts.
2. PARKING BRAKE (REAR DISC BRAKE)
Inspect the brake linings and the disk rotor inside of
both sides of the rear brake at the same time by re-
moving the disk rotor.
1) Inspect the brake shoes for damage or deforma-
tion and check brake linings for wear.
CAUTION:
Always replace both primary and secondary
brake shoes for the right and left wheels at the
same time.

correct or replace it.
Brake drum inside diameter
Standard value: 170 mm (6.69 in)
Wear limit: 171 mm (6.73 in)

4) When the shoe return spring tension is exces-
sively weakened, replace it.B: ADJUSTMENT
1. REAR DRUM BRAKE
The main brake is adjusted automatically, and so
there is no need to adjust it.
2. PARKING BRAKE (REAR DISC BRAKE)
For rear disc brake, adjust the parking brake after
bleeding air.
1) Remove the rear cover (rubber) installed at back
plate.
2) Turn the adjuster toward arrow mark (upward)
until it is locked slightly, by using a flat tip screwdriv-
er as shown in illustration.
3) Turn back (downward) the adjuster 3 to 4 notch-
es.
4) Install the rear cover (rubber) at original position
correctly.

Hold the adjusting screw with a wrench to pre-
vent it from turning it, while tightening the lock
nut.
4. TIE-ROD
1) Check the tie-rod and tie-rod ends for bends,
scratches or other damage.
2) Check the connections of knuckle ball joints for
play, inspect for damage on dust seals, and check
free play of ball studs. If the castle nut is loose, re-
tighten it to the specified torque, then tighten further
up to 60° until the cotter pin hole is aligned.
Tightening torque:
27 N·m (2.75 kgf-m, 19.9 ft-lb)3) Check the lock nut on tie-rod end for tightness. If
it is loose, retighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
83 N·m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 ft-lb)
5. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
NOTE:
 Check at power steering fluid temperature 20°C
(68°F); read the fluid level on the “COLD” side.
 Check at power steering fluid temperature 80°C
(176°F); read the fluid level on the “HOT” side.
1) Place the vehicle with engine stopped on a flat
and level surface.
2) Check the fluid level using the scale on the out-
side of reservoir tank (A). If the level is below “MIN”
(B), add fluid to bring it up to “MAX” (C).
NOTE:
If the fluid level is at “MAX” level or above, drain flu-
id to keep the level in specified range of indicator by
using a syringe or the like.
Recommended fluid:
Dexron III
Fluid capacity:
0.72 (0.7 US qt, 0.6 Imp qt)
6. POWER STEERING FLUID FOR LEAKS
Inspect the underside of oil pump and gearbox for
power steering system, hoses, piping and their
couplings for fluid leaks.
If fluid leaks are found, correct them by retightening
their fitting bolts (or nuts) and/or replacing their
parts.
CAUTION:
 Wipe the leakage fluid off after correcting flu-
id leaks, or a wrong diagnosis is taken later.
 Also pay attention to clearances between
hoses (or pipings) and other parts when in-
specting fluid leaks.
