liquid could gush out if cap is loosened or removed while system is
hot.
BRAKE FLUID
Be careful when handling brake fluid as it is harmful to eyes
and may damage painted surfaces.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSE
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.

1991 DRIVE AXLES
Locking Hubs
Mitsubishi: Montero, Pickup
DESCRIPTION
Automatic hubs are engaged by rotational force of axle shaft
when 4WD is selected at transfer case. Automatic hubs disengage when
2WD is selected or vehicle is driven in Reverse. Cams, brakes and
springs are used to lock or unlock automatic hubs.
Engagement is accomplished through gears and spring actions
within hub. When hub is locked, hub brake engages inner hub, which is
connected to axle shaft by inner splines of hub. Hub brake is
connected to hub body by outer splines.
REMOVAL
1) Hub must be unlocked. To unlock hub, place transfer case
lever in 2H position and move vehicle in Reverse approximately 4-6
feet.
2) Remove cover from locking hub. If hub cover cannot be
loosened by hand, wrap shop towel around cover and use an oil filter
wrench to loosen cover.
3) Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Using
snap ring pliers, remove snap ring and shim from end of axle. Remove
locking hub retaining bolts. Remove locking hub.
INSTALLATION
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply sealant to
contact areas between locking hub assembly and hub/rotor assembly.
Ensure sealant is NOT applied on outer areas of hub/rotor assembly
toward brake contact areas.
2) Align locking hub assembly key area with steering knuckle
key way area. Loosely install locking hub assembly on hub/rotor
assembly. Ensure locking hub assembly fully contacts hub/rotor
assembly.
3) Install locking hub retaining bolts. Tighten bolts to 36-
43 ft. lbs. (49-58 N.m). Using spring scale attached to wheel stud,
measure turning resistance required to rotate hub/rotor assembly.
4) Turning resistance should NOT exceed 3.1 lbs. (1.4 kg). I\
f
turning resistance exceeds specification, check for incorrect
installation of locking hub assembly or components.
5) Install shim and snap ring on drive axle. Rotate drive
axle until maximum end play is obtained. Using a dial indicator, check
drive axle end play.
6) Drive axle end play should be .008-.020" (.20-.51 mm). If\
axle end play is NOT within specification, adjust end play by changing
axle shaft shim. Install hub cover. Tighten hub cover 13-25 ft. lbs.
(18-34 N.m).

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR BAG SYSTEM
NOTE: See the AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the
ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT Section.
The SRS has no user-servicable parts. Always have servicing
done by an authorized dealer.
When performing maintenance on air bag equipped vehicles
always observe proper safety precautions.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the
ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section.
CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON
position from passenger's side of vehicle in case of
accidental air bag inflation
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
CAUTION: Never mix different diameter tires. On loose or uneven
surfaces, the ABS system may require longer stopping
distances than conventional brake systems. Exercise caution
when removing mud or snow from the wheels so as not to
damage the ABS wiring or speed sensors.
BATTERY WARNING
WARNING: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See
appropriate COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the
GENERAL INFORMATION section below.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction
could cause converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to
converter and vehicle.
COOLANT (PROPYLENE-GLYCOL FORMULATIONS)
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to vehicle use only ethylene-glycol
based coolants with a mixture ratio from 44-68% anti-freeze.
DO NOT use 100% anti-freeze as it will cause the formation
of cooling system deposits. This results in coolant
temperatures of over 300
\b F (149\bC) which can melt plastics.
100% anti-freeze has a freeze point of only -8\b F (-22\bC).
CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol Mixtures has a smaller temperature range
than Ethylene-Glycol. The temperature range (freeze-boil)
of a 50/50 Anti-Freeze/Water Mix is as follows:
Propylene-Glycol -26
\b F (-32\bC) - 257\b F (125\bC)
Ethylene-Glycol -35\b F (-37\bC) - 263\b F (128\bC)
CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol Mixtures can cause the
destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors. Also
Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol has a different specific
gravity than Ethylene-Glycol coolant, which will result in
inaccurate freeze point calculations.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESD) PARTS
WARNING: Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by
static electricity (ESD). Some will display a warning label,
but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by
touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to
servicing any ESD sensitive component.
ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
WARNING: Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare
hands. Eye protection should be worn when handling or working
around halogen bulbs.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
