Trouble
PittingSymptom
Pitting occurs because of uneven rotation of race
and bearing surfacesProbable causeExcessive bearing preloadExcessive load
FlakingThe surface peels because of uneven rotation ofthe race and bearing surfacesEnd of bearing life
Improper bearing assembly
Cracking
Chipping or cracking of cage or roller edges
Impact when bearing was
installed (such as being hit witha hammer)
Flat spottingWhen large load is applied, race and rollercontact surfaces compress, forming
indentationsExcessive bearing preload
Excessive load
Vibration when bearings are not
used, such as during shipment
on freight cars, transport trucks,
etc.
NicksInstead of rolling along race surface, rollers
slide, thus damaging surfaceInsufficient greaseExcessive bearing preload
Excessive load
Faulty oil seal
Smearing
Damage or wear caused by minute particles
adhering to surfaces results in rough movement
and such high temperatures that parts of surface
melt
Excessive variation of loads onbearingsUse of grease other than that
specified
Insufficient grease
Rust, corrosionAppears on various areas of the bearingUse of grease other than that

WearWear of surface areas caused by frictionInsufficient grease
Foreign matter
Rust or corrosion due to
moisture
Use of grease other than thatspecifiedFaulty oil seal
Discoloration
Grease discoloration results from grease
deterioration which causes particles of pigment
contained in grease to adhere to surfaces
Heat discoloration will appear as a deep brown or
purple

14UOO729. Install the radiator cap securely.
10.
Start’the engine and warm up until the thermostat opens.
11. Race the engine up to around 3,000 rpm several times, then
stop the engine.,12. When the enkine has cooled down, remove the radiator cap
L/and add coolant up to the brim. Add coolant to the reserve
tank up to the FULL line.

1. Lift up the vehicle.
2.Loosen the radiator drain plug, remove the drain plug from
the rear bank of the engine and remove the radiator cap to
discharge coolant.
3. Follow the same steps 3 to 12 above.
12.DISC BRAKE PADS (Inspect for wear)MOOSBFDCheck for fluid contamination and wear. Replace complete set
of pads if defective.
Caution
The pads for the right and left wheels should be replaced atIIthe same time. Never “split” or intermix brake pad sets. AllUfour pads must be replaced as a complete set.
Thickness of lining (A):
Limit2.0 mm (.08 in.)
13. BRAKE HOSES (Check for deterioration or
leaks)
MOOSBHBInspection of brake hoses and tubing should be included in all
brake service operations.
The hoses should be checked for:
1.Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing or
worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses is exposed by
cracks or abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the hoses
should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of the hose may
occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interference with
wheel, tire or chassis.
14. BALL JOINT AND STEERING LINKAGE SEALS
(Inspect for grease leaks and damage)
MOOSglC1. These components, which are permanently lubricated at
the factory, do not require periodic lubrication. Damaged
seals and boots should be replaced to prevent leakage or
contamination of the grease.
2.Inspect the dust cover and boots for proper sealing, leakageIdand damage. Replace them if defective.
