GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use fender, seat and floor covers to keep the vehicle
clean and prevent damage.
2. During disassembly, keep parts in the appropriate order
to facilitate reassembly.
3. Observe the following:
(a) Before performing electrical work, disconnect the
negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
(b) If it is necessary to disconnect the battery for inspec-
tion or repair, always disconnect the cable from the
negative (±) terminal which is grounded to the ve-
hicle body.
(c) To prevent damage to the battery terminal post, loos-
en the terminal nut and raise the cable straight up
without twisting or prying it.
(d) Clean the battery terminal posts and cable terminals
with a clean shop rag. Do not scrape them with a file
or other abrasive objects.
(e) Install the cable terminal to the battery post with the
nut loose, and tighten the nut after installation. Do
not use a hammer to tap the terminal onto the post.
(f) Be sure the cover for the positive (+) terminal is prop-
erly in place.
4. Check hose and wiring connectors to make sure that they
are secure and correct.
5. Non±reusable parts
(a) Always replace cotter pins, gaskets, O±rings and oil
seals etc. with new ones.
(b) Non±reusable parts are indicated in the component
illustrations by the ºº symbol.
6. Precoated parts
Precoated parts are bolts and nuts, etc. that are coated
with a seal lock adhesive at the factory.
(a) If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or
caused to move in any way, it must be recoated with
the specified adhesive.
(b) When reusing precoated parts, clean off the old
adhesive and dry with compressed air. Then applyIN022±07

the specified seal lock adhesive to the bolt, nut or
threads.
(c) Precoated parts are indicated in the component il-
lustrations by the º
º symbol.
7. When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent
leaks.
8. Carefully observe all specifications for bolt tightening
torques. Always use a torque wrench.
9. Use of special service tools (SST) and special service ma-
terials (SSM) may be required, depending on the nature
of the repair. Be sure to use SST and SSM where speci-
fied and follow the proper work procedure. A list of SST
and SSM can be found at the preparation of AX section.
10. When replacing fuses, be sure the new fuse has the cor-
rect amperage rating. DO NOT exceed the rating or use
one with a lower rating.
11. To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the connector
itself, not the wires.
12. Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the prop-
er locations.
(a) If the vehicle is to be jacked up only at the front or
rear end, be sure to block the wheels at the opposite
end in order to ensure safety.
(b) After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on
a vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for a small job
that can be finished quickly.
