ed Materials.>
NOTE:
•Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid to
prevent degrading the quality of fluid.
•Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the
reservoir tank.
Bleeding sequence (1) → (2) → (3) →(4)
5) Install one end of a vinyl tube onto the air bleeder
and insert the other end of the tube into a container
to collect the brake fluid.
NOTE:
•Cover the bleeder with cloth, when loosening it,
to prevent brake fluid from being splashed over sur-
rounding parts.
•During air bleeding, keep the reservoir tank filled
with brake fluid to eliminate entry of air.
•Operate the brake pedal slowly.
•For convenience and safety, two people should
work together.
•The amount of brake fluid required is approx. 600
m2 (20.3 US fl oz, 21.1 Imp fl oz) for total brake
system.
6) Instruct your co-worker to depress the brake
pedal slowly two or three times and then hold it de-
pressed.
7) Loosen the bleeder screw approximately 1/4
turn until a small amount of brake fluid drains into
the container, and then quickly tighten the screw.
8) Repeat steps 6) and 7) until there are no air bub-
bles in drained brake fluid and new fluid flows
through vinyl tube.
NOTE:
Add brake fluid as necessary while bleeding air, so
that the brake fluid in the tank is always between
MAX and MIN.
9) After completing the bleeding operation, hold the
brake pedal depressed and tighten the screw and
install bleeder cap.
Tightening torque:
8 N·m (0.8 kgf-m, 5.8 ft-lb)
10) Bleed air from each wheel cylinder by following
steps from 5) to 9).
11) Depress the brake pedal with a force of approx.
294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) and hold it there for approx. 20
seconds. At this time check the pedal to see if it
makes any unusual movement. Visually inspect the
bleeder screws and brake pipe joints to confirm
there is no fluid leakage.
12) Install the wheels, and drive the vehicle for a
short distance between 2 to 3 km (1 to 2 mile) to
confirm brakes are operating properly.

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.

Stall Test
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
5. Stall Test
A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
The stall test is extremely important in diagnosing
the condition of an automatic transmission and en-
gine. It should be conducted to measure the engine
stall speeds in “R” and “2nd of manual mode”.
Purposes of the stall test:
•Operational check of the automatic transmission
clutch
•Operational check of the torque converter clutch
•Engine performance check
1) Check that the throttle valve fully opens.
2) Check that the engine oil level is correct.
3) Check that the coolant level is correct.
4) Check that the ATF level is correct.
5) Check that the differential gear oil level is cor-
rect.
6) Raise the ATF temperature to 70 to 80°C (158 to
176°F) by driving a distance of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6
miles). Confirm the ATF temperature on Subaru
Select Monitor.
tor.>
7) Place the wheel chocks at the front and rear of
all wheels and apply the parking brake.
8) Move the select lever to ensure it operates prop-
erly, and then set to the “2nd gear of manual
mode”.
9) While stepping hard on the brake pedal, gradu-
ally step on the accelerator pedal.
10) When the engine speed is stabilized, quickly
record the engine speed and release accelerator
pedal.
11) Shift the select lever to “N” range, and cool
down the engine by idling it for more than one
minute.
12) Perform the procedure for “R” range in the
same way as “2nd on manual mode”.
NOTE:
•Do not continue the stall test for MORE THAN
FIVE SECONDS at a time (from fully closed throttle
to fully open throttle until stall speed reading). Do-
ing so will make the engine oil and ATF deteriorate
and the clutch and brake to be adversely affected.
•After performing the stall test, be sure to cool
down the engine for at least one minute with the se-
lect lever set in “P” or “N” range, and at an idle
speed of 1,200 rpm or less.
•If the stall speed is higher than the specified
range, attempt to finish the stall test in as short a
time as possible, in order to prevent the automatic
transmission from sustaining damage.
Stall speed (at sea level):
2,300 — 2,800 rpm
