Caution
1.Be cautious to ensure that the differential carrier oil
seal is not damaged by the drive shaft spline.
2. The drive shafts for models equipped with the
limited-slip differential are of different length and,
in addition, the right drive shaft has a two-part
serration; be very careful to install each one on the
correct side.
NOTE
The left and right drive shafts can also be distinguishedfrom each other by the identification color of boot band

3.Be sure to thoroughly remove any oil or grease, etc.from the threaded part of the bolt and nut used for
installation to the companion flange,
because any
oil, grease, etc. on these parts might cause later
loosening even though tightening is at the specifiedtorque.

14110064BRAKES - Master Cylinder5-57
(1) Measure the dimension (B) between the master cylinder
end face and piston.
NOTETo obtain
(B), first take measurement with a square placed
on the master cylinder end face. Then, subtract the
thickness of the square to arrive at (B).
14110065(2) Obtain the dimension
(C) between the brake booster
mounting surface on the master cylinder and the end face.(3) Measure the dimension
(D) between the master cylinder
mounting surface on brake booster and the push rod end.
NOTE
To obtain (D), first take measurement with a square placedon the brake booster. Then, subtract the thickness of the
square to arrive at
(D).(4). Using the measured values obtained in (1) through
(3),obtain the clearance (A) between the brake booster push
rod and primary piston.
Standard value: [A (A = B-C-D)]
9 inch brake booster0.8-1.0 mm
(.031-.039 in.)
7 +8 inch brake booster0.5-0.7 mm
(.020-.028 in.)
(5) If the clearance is not within the standard value range,
adjust by changing the push rod length by turning the
adjustable end of the push rod.
Caution
Improper clearance may cause excessive brake drag.

26. INSTALLATION OF O-RINGsInsert the O-ring to the water inlet pipe, and coat the,buter
circumference of the O-ring with water.,
By coating with water, the insertion to the water pump will
become easier.
Caution
1.Care must be taken not to permit engine oil or other
greases to adhere to the O-ring.
2.When inserting the pipe, check to be sure,that there
is no sand, dirt, etc. on its inner surface.
24. INSTALLATION OF WATER PUMP,
(1) Clean both gasket surfaces of water pump body and
cylinder block.
(2) Install new water pump gasket and water pump
assembly and tighten the bolts.
