47. REMOVE FIRST AND REVERSE BRAKE PISTON
(a) Remove the piston return spring.
Place SST, and compress the return spring evenly by
tightening the bolt gradually.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32040)
(b) Apply compressed air into the passage of the case
to remove the piston.
HINT: Hold the piston so it is not slanted and blow
with the gun slightly away from the oil hole. wUsing snap ring pliers, remove the snap ring.
wRemove SST.
wRemove the return spring from the case. (e) Remove the overdrive clutch apply gasket and over-
drive brake apply gasket.
(c) If the piston does not pop out with compressed air,
use needle±nose pliers to remove it.

INSPECTION OF SECOND BRAKE
COMPONENT
INSPECT DISCS, PLATES AND FLANGE
Check if the sliding surfaces of the discs, plates and flange are
worn or burnt. If necessary, replace them.
HINT:
wIf the lining of the disc is exfoliated or discolored, or
even a part of the printed numbers are defaced, replace
all discs.
wBefore assembling new discs, soak them in ATF for at
least fifteen minutes.
ASSEMBLY OF SECOND BRAKE PISTON
INSTALL PISTON
(a) Coat a new O±ring with ATF.
(b) Install the two O±rings on the piston.
(c) Press the piston into the drum, being careful not
to damage the O±rings.

INSPECTION OF ELECTRIC CONTROL
COMPONENTS
1. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL COMPUTER
Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage at each termi-
nals.
HINT: Do not disconnect the computer connector.
2. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance be-
tween terminals.
Standard resistance: 21 ± 27
(c) Apply the battery voltage between terminals.
Check that an operation noise can be heard
from the solenoid.
