E. Replace Receiver
1. Remove original R±12 Receiverand discard.
2. Measure oil and pour 1/2 of specified amount of oil into the
ªOUTº side of new Receiver (see
table on page 1 for amount).
3. Black out the sight glass on block ± joint ± type Receiver with black
paint.
4. Lubricate and install the O±rings on the Receiver connections.
5. Install Receiver.
F. Using R134a Recovery equipment,
evacuate, charge, and leak test the
system (Use equipment
manufacturer 's recommended
procedure).
1. Evacuate for 45 minutes.
2. Vacuum check.
3. If vacuum check is OK, add remaining 1/2 compressor oil using
the recovery equipment.
Using recovery / recycling /
recharging equipment charge
the system with the remaining
½ of the specified amount of oil
from step E2.
4. Charge system with specified amount of R134a. (reference table
on page 1).
5. Perform a gas leak check.
G. Confirm cooling performance of Air Conditioning system.
H. Install retrofit labels:
1. Choose R134a ªUSE ONLYº label
for proper oil type ( ND±OIL 8).
2. Using a ball point pen, enter the proper retrofit refrigerant and oil
charges on the caution label.
3. Cross out unused type of compressor oil on caution label.

2. BRAKE SYSTEM
The brake system is one of the most important safety components. Always \
follow the directions and
notes given in section BR of the repair manual for the relevant model ye\
ar when handling brake sys-
tem parts.
NOTICE: When repairing the brake master cylinder or TRAC system, bleed t\
he air out of the TRAC
system.
3. DRIVE TRAIN AND CHASSIS
The drive train and chassis are components that can have great effects on the running performance
and vibration resistance of the vehicle. After installing components in \
the sections listed in the table
below, perform alignments to ensure correct mounting angles and dimensions. P\
articularly accurate
repair of the body must also be done to ensure correct alignment.
HINT: Correct procedures and special tools are required for alignment. Alway\
s follow the directionsgiven in the repair manual for the relevant model year during alignment \
and section DI of this manual.

20. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.wJack up the front of the vehicle and support it with
stands.
w Make sure the front wheels are in a straight±ahead
position, and depress the brake pedal.
w Jack up the lower suspension arm until there is about
half a load on the front coil spring.
w Move the front wheel up and down and check that the
ball joint has no excessive play.
Maximum lower ball joint vertical play.
0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
If the play is greater than maximum, replace the ball joint.
(b) Visually check the dust covers for damage
21. C H E C K A U TO M AT I C T RANSMISSION AND
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (FLUID)
A. Inspect automatic transmission fluid
(a) Visually check the differential for fluid and leakage.
If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
(b) Check the fluid level with the engine idling and shift lever at ªPº.
If the level is low, add fluid.
Transmission fluid:
See item 22 (A)
B. Inspect differential oil
(a) Visually check the transmission for oil and leakage.If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
(b) Remove the filler plug, and feel inside the hole with your finger. Check that the oil comes to within 5 mm (0.20 in) of the
bottom edge of the filler hole.
If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler
hole.

(b) Stake the differential case.
3. INSTALL RING GEAR ON DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Clean the contact surfaces of the differential case and thethreads of the ring gear and differential case.
(b) Heat the ring gear in boiling water.
(c) A f t e r t h e m o i s t u r e o n t h e r i n g g e a r h a s c o m p l e t e l y evaporated, quickly install the ring gear to the differential
case.
HINT: Align the matchmarks on the ring gear and the dif feren-
tial case.
(d) Tighten 2 of the bolts temporarily so that the bolt holes in the ring gear and differential case are not misaligned.
NOTICE: The ring gear set bolts should not be tightened until
the ring gear has cooled sufficiently.
4. INSTALL RING GEAR SET BOLTS
(a) After the ring gear has cooled sufficiently, install 10 new ringgear set bolts to which thread lock has been applied.
Thread lock:
Part No. 08833±00100, THREE BOND 1360 K or
equivalent.
NOTICE: New ring gear set bolts should be used in every case.
