Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Install master
cylinder. Bleed brake system if necessary.
REAR AXLE BEARINGS & OIL SEAL
Removal (Montero)
1) With drum removed, disconnect brake line from wheel
cylinder. Disconnect bearing case from axle housing end. Remove brake
backing plate, bearing case and axle shaft as an assembly. If axle
shaft binds, use slide hammer with puller to remove.
2) Remove "O" ring and shims for preloading wheel bearing (if\
equipped). Retain shims for reassembly. To remove oil seal, use slide
hammer and hook.
3) To remove wheel bearing, straighten lock washer tabs. See
Fig. 9 . Remove lock nut using spanner wrench. Remove lock washer.
Install lock nut 3 turns on axle shaft. Install Puller (MB990787-01)
to remove axle shaft from bearing case. Rotate nuts with equal force
to remove axle shaft. Remove bearing outer race using a hammer and
drift.

Installation
1) Apply Multipurpose Grease (SAE J310) to oil seal. Install\

oil seal using seal driver. Apply grease to outside circumference of
bearing outer race. Apply grease to lip of oil seal and to roller
surfaces of bearing inner race.
2) Press bearing onto axle shaft. Install rear brake assembly
and bearing case. Pack bearing case and axle threads with grease.
Install lock washer (tab aligned with axle slot) and lock nut (chamfe\
r
toward lock washer). Tighten lock nut to 130-159 ft. lbs. (176-216 N.
m).
3) Bend tabs on lock washer into slots of lock nut. Apply
grease to oil seal area of rear axle housing. Adjust clearance between
bearing case and rear axle by inserting .04" (1.0 mm) shim and "O"
ring into left rear axle housing.
4) Apply semi-drying sealant to mating surface of bearing
case. Install left axle shaft into rear housing. Tighten nuts
diagonally to 36-43 ft. lbs. (49-58 N.m).
5) Install right axle shaft without shims and "O" ring.
Temporarily tighten to about 53 INCH lbs. (6 N.m). Using a feeler
gauge, measure clearance between bearing case and rear axle housing.
6) Remove right axle shaft. Install shims to equal bearing
case-to-axle housing clearance plus .002-.008" (.05-.20 mm). Install
"O" ring to right rear axle housing. Apply sealant to mating surfaces
of bearing case and shim. See Fig. 10.
7) Install axle into housing, tightening nuts diagonally to
36-43 ft. lbs. (50-58 N.m). Check axle shaft for .002-.008" (.05-.20
mm) end play using dial indicator.

INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
(1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and (2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that
they are serious about customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection were recently published.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually republished. In addition to these, standards for Drive
Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated. Participating
shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication Standards as
part of the inspection process and for communicating their findings to
their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not
satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers mediation and arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE and other non-
profit organizations. MAP conducted pilot programs in twelve states
before announcing the program nationally in October, 1998. During the
pilots, participating repair shops demonstrated their adherence to the
Pledge and Standards and agreed to follow the UICS in communicating
the results of their inspection to their customers. To put some
"teeth" in the program, an accreditation requirement for shops was
initiated. The requirements are stringent, and a self-policing method

manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
(1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and (2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that

MAP UNIFORM INSPECTION GENERAL GUIDELINES
OVERVIEW OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS & SUGGESTIONS
It is MAP policy that all exhaust, brake, steering,
suspension, wheel alignment, drive-line, engine performance and
maintenance, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and
electrical services be offered and performed under the standards and
procedures specified in these sections.

Single Diaphragm EGR Valve
This type uses a single diaphragm connected to the valve by a
shaft. Diaphragm is spring-loaded to keep valve closed in the absence
of vacuum. As throttle valves open and engine speed increases, vacuum
is applied to the EGR vacuum diaphragm, opening the EGR valve. This
vacuum signal comes from a ported vacuum source. Variations in the
vacuum signal control the amount of exhaust gas that is recirculated.
See Fig. 7 .
Verify EGR valve is present and not modified or purposely
damaged. Ensure thermal vacuum switches, pressure transducers, speed
switches, etc., (if applicable) are not by-passed or modified. Ensure
vacuum hose(s) to EGR valve is not plugged.
Fig. 7: Typical Single Diaphragm EGR Valve

Dual Diaphragm EGR Valve
This type uses 2 diaphragms with different effective areas
and 2 vacuum sources. Although similar to the single diaphragm type,
the second diaphragm is added below the upper diaphragm and is rigidly
attached to the valve seat. See Fig. 8. These diaphragms form a vacuum
chamber which is connected to manifold vacuum.
During highway cruising when manifold vacuum is high in the
center chamber, manifold vacuum tends to pull the valve closed.
However, the vacuum signal applied to the top side of the upper
diaphragm overcomes the downward spring force and the manifold vacuum
pull, due to the diaphragm's larger piston. This regulates the amount
of EGR.
When manifold vacuum is low during acceleration, the higher
vacuum signal opens the valve, permitting more EGR. When manifold
vacuum is high during highway cruising, the valve is only partially
opened, reducing the amount of EGR.

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD INSTALLATION
Cylinders must be honed prior to piston installation. See
CYLINDER HONING under CYLINDER BLOCK in this article.
Install upper connecting rod bearings. Lubricate upper
bearings with engine oil. Install lower bearings in rod caps. Ensure
bearing tabs are properly seated. Position piston ring gaps according
to manufacturers recommendations. See Fig. 16. Lubricate pistons,
rings and cylinder walls.
