Reassembly
Tripod joint
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and
what is found through visual check of component parts
after disassembly, prepare replacing parts and proceed
to reassembly.
Make sure that wheel side joint assembly (1) and tripod
joint housing (2) are washed thoroughly and air dried.
Replace boot(s) (3) with new one(s).
CAUTION!
• Do not wash boots in degreaser such as gasoline or kerosene. etc. Washing in
degreaser causes deterioration of boot.
• To ensure full performance of joint as designed, be sure to distinguish between
two types of grease in repair set and apply
specified volume to respective joint
referring to the followings for identification
of the grease.

1) Wash disassembled parts (except boots). After washing, dry parts comp letely by blowing air.
2) Clean boots with cloth.
3) Apply grease to wheel side joint. Use specified grease in tube in wheel side boot set as a spare
parts.
Grease color
: Black
Amount
: 55 – 75 g (1.9 – 2.6 oz)
4) Install wheel side boot on shaft.
5) Fill up boot inside with specified grease.
6) Place new wheel side boot big band (3) and small band (4) onto boot putting band outer end (1) against
forward rotation (2) as shown in figure.

7) Fasten boot bands (1) securely using special tool as
shown in figure.
Distance “a”
: 2.6 ± 1.4 mm (0.102 ± 55 in.)
CAUTION!
Do not squeeze or distort boot when
fastening it with bands.
Distorted boot caused by squeezing air may
reduce its durability.

Special tool
(A): 09943–57010 8) Set new differential side (or center shaft side) small
band and new differential side (or center shaft side)
boot (1) on shaft temporarily, and then apply grease
to tripod joint (2). Use specified grease in tube
included in spare parts.
9) Install tripod joint spider (3) on shaft using special
tool with hammer, directing its chamfered spline
toward wheel side, and then fasten it with new snap
ring (4) using snap ring pliers (5).
Special tool
(A): 09925–98221
10) Apply grease (including in spare parts) to inside of tripod joint housing (1), jo int it with tripod joint.

11) Fit boot (1) to grooves of shaft and housing (2) adjust
length to specification below.
12) Insert screw driver into boot and allow air to enter boot so that air pressure in boot becomes the same
as atmospheric pressure.
Drive shaft boot fixing position (distance
between housing end and small boot band)
Left side drive shaft “a”: 153.9 mm (6.05 in.)
Right side drive shaft “b”: 178.0 mm (7.00 in.)
CAUTION!
• Bend each boot band against forward rotation.
• Do not squeeze or distort boot when fastening it with bands. Distorted boot
caused by squeezing air may reduce its
durability.

13) Place differential side (or center shaft side) boot new big band (3) and new small band (4) onto boot
putting band outer end (1) against forward rotation
(2) as shown in figure. 14) Fasten differential side (or center shaft side) boot
band.
• For differential side (or center shaft side) boot big band (1) and small band (5).
Fasten band by drawing hooks (2) with special
tool and engage hooks (3) in slot and window (4).

General Description
Brakes ConstructionS7RS0B4101001
When the foot brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder to actuate pistons (two
in front and two in rear).
The master cylinder is a tandem master cylinder. Brake pipes are connected to the master cylinder and they make two
independent circuits. One connects front right & rear left brakes and the other connects front left & rear right brakes.
In this brake system, the disc brake type is used for the front wheel brake and the rear wheel brake.
The parking brake system is mechanical. It applies brake force to only rear wheels by means of the cable and
mechanical linkage system. The same brake shoes or pads are used for both parking and foot brakes.

If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all
hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts
with compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol out
of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake
mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings.
If excessive fluid is found, replace the pads. If master cylinder piston seals
are satisfactory, check for
leakage or excessive heat co nditions. If leakage is not
found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and bleed
system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to
contaminated fluid.
Brakes Symptom DiagnosisS7RS0B4104002
Condition Possible cause Correction / Reference Item
Not enough braking force Brake oil leakage from brake lines Locate leaking point and repair.
Brake disc or brake pad stained with oil Clean or replace.
Overheated brakes Determine cause and repair.
Badly worn brake pad Replace.
Malfunctioning caliper assembly Repair or replace.
Malfunctioning brake booster Check system and replace assembly.
Malfunctioning brake master cylinder Check system and replace as necessary.
Air in system Bleed system.

working in unison) Brake pad and disc are wet with water or
stained with oil in some brakes Clean or replace.
Disc is out of round in some brakes Replace.
Tires are inflated unequally Inflate equally.
Disturbed front wheel alignment Adjust as prescribed.
Unmatched tires on same axle Tires with approximately the same amount of
tread should be used on the same axle.
Restricted brake pipes or hoses Check for soft hoses and damaged lines.
Replace with new hoses and new double-
walled steel brake tubing.
Malfunctioning caliper assembly Caliper should slide.
Check for stuck or sluggish pistons and proper
lubrication of caliper slide pin.

Loose calipers Check and torque bolts to specifications.
Noise (High pitched
squeak without brake
applied) Contact wear indicator to brake disc
Replace brake pads.
Worn brake pad Replace brake pads.

(Pedal stroke too large) Partial brake system failure
Check brake systems and repair as necessary.
Brake fluid leaking Repair the leaking point and bleed air.
Air in system (soft / spongy pedal) Bleed system.
Brake locked Malfunctioning ABS (ESP®) Check system referri ng to “ABS Check in
Section 4E” or “Electronic Stability Program
System Check in Section 4F”.
Dragging brakes (A very
light drag is present in all
brakes immediately after
pedal is released.) Master cylinder pistons not returning
correctly
Replace master cylinder.
Restricted brake pipes or hoses Check for soft hoses or damaged pipes and
replace with new hoses and/or new brake
piping.
Incorrect parking brake adjustment on
rear brakes Check and adjust to correct specifications.
Weakened or broken return springs in
rear brakes. Replace.
Sluggish parking brake cables or linkage Repair or replace.
Brake caliper piston sticking Repair as necessary.
Badly worn piston seal in caliper Replace piston seal.
Improper brake pedal free height Check brake pedal free height.
