2.For non-turbo, remove the ‘drain plug from
block to drain engine coolant.
For turbo, remove the water hose from the water pip e
assembly (C) to do so.
3.
4.
5.Remove the reserve tank to drain the coolant.
When the engine coolant has drained, pour in water from
the cap to clean the engine coolant line.
For non-turbo, install the drain plug to the cylind er block.
For turbo, install the water hose to pipe assembly
6.

8.
Securely tighten the radiator drain plug.
Install the reserve tank.
9.
Slowly pour the engine coolant into the mouth of th e
radiator until the radiator is full, and pour also into the
reserve tank up to the FULL line.
Recommended antifreeze:
LONG-LIFE COOLANT (Part No. 0103044)
or high quality ethylene-glycol antifreeze coolant)
Quantity 7.0
(7.4 qts.)
Install the cap securely.
Start the engine and warm the engine until the the rmostat
opens. (Touch the radiator hose with your hand to c heck
that warm water is flowing.)
11. After the thermostat opens, race the engine at 3,000
3 times.
12. After the engine is stopped, wait until the eng ine has
cooled down, and then remove the cap to check the
level of the liquid. If the level is low, repeat th e operation
from step 9.
Lastly, if the level does not drop, fill the conden se tank
with coolant up to the FULL line.
15. DISC BRAKE PADS (Check for wear)
Check for fluid contamination and wear. Replace com plete
set of pads if defective.
Caution
The pads for the right and left wheels should be re placed
at, the same time. Never “split” or intermix brake pad
sets.
All four pads must be replaced as a complete set.

1.Remove the brake drum and check of brake
shoe lining for wear. Check the automatic brake adj usting
system by hand to see if it operates smoothly.
Also see if the gears are in proper mesh with each other.
To assure smooth operation, apply a thin coat of
multipurpose grease to the friction surface of adju ster
and link shaft.

8. Check brake drag torque as follows.
(1) Start engine and hold brake pedal down for 5 second
s.
[Pedal depression force: approx. 196 (44 Ibs.)]
(2) Stop engine.
(3) Turn brake disc forward
times.
(4) Check brake hub torque (B) with spring scale.
(5) Calculate the drag torque of the disc brake [di fference
between hub torque (B) and hub torque (A)].
Standard value:
69 (15.4 Ibs.) Nm (35 or less
9.If the difference between brake drag torque and hub torque
exceeds the standard value, disassemble piston and clean
piston. Check for corrosion or piston seal, and check’
the sliding condition of the lock pin and’ pin.
