Parking Brake
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SERVICES
16.Parking Brake
A: INSPECTION
Inspect the brake linings and disc rotor of both
sides of the rear brake at the same time by remov-
ing disc rotor.
1) Inspect the brake shoes for damage or deforma-
tion and check the brake linings for wear.
NOTE:
Always replace both primary and secondary brake
shoes for the left and right wheels at the same time.
Thickness of brake lining (except for back metal):
Standard: 4.0 mm (0.157 in)
Wear limit: 1.5 mm (0.059 in)
2) Check the inside of disk rotor for wear, dents or
other damage. If the inside surface of dick rotor is
streaked, correct the surface with emery cloth
(#200 or more). If it is unevenly worn or tapered,
correct or replace it.
Brake drum inside diameter:
Standard: 210 mm (8.26 in)
Wear limit: 211 mm (8.30 in)
3) If the deformation or wear of back plate, shoe,
etc. is noticeable, replace them.
4) When the shoe return spring tension is exces-
sively weakened, replace it.
5) Check whether the parking brake pedal is at the
predetermined number of notches (5 to 6 notches).
B: ADJUSTMENT
1) Remove the rear tire and release the parking brake.
2) Remove the cover (rubber) installed on the disc rotor.
3) Turn the disc rotor so that the service hole is di-
rectly below.
4) Turn the adjuster toward arrow mark (upward)
until it is locked slightly, by using flat-tip screwdriver
as shown in the figure.
5) Turn back (downward) the adjuster several notch-
es until the brake pedal no longer has any drag.
6) Install the cover (rubber) in original position correctly.
7) Install the rear tires.
8) Adjust so that the parking brake pedal is at the
predetermined number of notches (5 to 6 notches).

Steering System (Power Steering)
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SERVICES
21.Steering System (Power
Steering)
A: INSPECTION
1. STEERING WHEEL
1) Set the steering wheel in a straight-ahead posi-
tion, and check the wheel spokes to make sure
they are correctly set in their specified positions.
2) Lightly turn the steering wheel to the left and
right to determine the point where front wheels start
to move.
Measure the distance of the movement of steering
wheel at the outer periphery of wheel.
Steering wheel free play:
0 — 17 mm (0 — 0.67 in)
Move the steering wheel vertically toward the shaft
to ascertain if there is play in the direction.
Maximum permissible play:
0.5 mm (0.020 in)
3) Drive the vehicle and check the following items
during operation.
(1) Steering force:
The effort required for steering should be
smooth and even at all points, and should not
vary.
(2) Pulled to one side:
Steering wheel should not be pulled to either
side while driving on a level surface.
(3) Wheel runout:
Steering wheel should not show any sign of
runout.
(4) Return factor:
Steering wheel should return to its original posi-
tion after it has been turned and then released.
2. STEERING SHAFT JOINT
When the steering wheel free play is excessive,
disconnect the universal joint of steering shaft and
check it for any play and yawing torque (at the point
of the crossing direction). Also inspect for any dam-
age to sealing or worn serrations. If the joint is
loose, retighten the mounting bolts to the specified
torque.
Tightening torque:
24 N·m (2.4 kgf-m, 17.4 ft-lb)
3. GEARBOX
1) With the vehicle placed on a level surface, turn
the steering wheel 90° in both the left and right di-
rections.
While the wheel is being rotated, reach under the
vehicle and check for looseness in gearbox.
Tightening torque:
60 N·m (6.1 kgf-m, 44.1 ft-lb)
2) Check the boot for damage, cracks or deteriora-
tion.
3) With the vehicle placed on a level surface, quick-
ly turn the steering wheel to the left and right.
While steering wheel is being rotated, check the
gear backlash. If any noise is noticed, adjust the
gear backlash.
4) Apply liquid gasket to at least 1/3 of entire perim-
eter of adjusting screw thread.
5) Tighten the adjusting screw to 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-
m, 18.1 ft-lb) and then loosen.

7) Measure dimension “B” of the drive pinion shaft
ST 398643600 GAUGE
8) Calculate the thickness “t” (mm) of the drive pin-
ion shim.
t = 6.5 ± 0.0625 – (B – A)
9) Select three or less shims from following table.
E: INSPECTION
•Make sure that all component parts are free of
scratches, holes and other faults.
•Adjust the tooth alignment. JUSTMENT, Drive Pinion Shaft Assembly.>
F: ADJUSTMENT
1) Remove the liquid gasket from the mating sur-
face completely.
2) Install the converter case to oil pump cover, and
secure them with tightening four bolts evenly.
NOTE:
Use an old gasket or aluminum washer to prevent
damaging the mating surface of the housing.
Tightening torque:
41 N·m (4.2 kgf-m, 30.4 ft-lb)
3) Rotate the drive pinion a few times using ST1
and ST2.
ST1 18667AA010 HOLDER
ST2 499787700 WRENCH
4) Adjust the drive pinion and hypoid driven gear
backlash. Differential Assembly.>
5) Apply red lead evenly to the surfaces of three or
four teeth on hypoid driven gear. Rotate the drive
pinion in the leftward and rightward for several
times. Remove the oil pump cover, and check the
tooth contact pattern.
If the teeth contact is inappropriate, adjust the
backlash or thickness of the shim. ADJUSTMENT, Front Differential Assembly.>
•Correct tooth contact
Check item: Tooth contact surface is slightly
shifted toward the toe side under a no-load con-
dition. (When driving, it moves towards the heel
side.)
