TRANSMISSION J DISASSEMBLY Precaution : 1. Clean the transmission exterior thoroughly with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvent before disassembly. b Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air. 2. Clean the removed parts (except sealed bearings) and all sealing surfaces with cleaning solvent, and dry with compressed air. Clean out all holes and passages with compressed air, and check that there are no obstructions.

FRONT AXLE M Removal note Brake caliper assembly Note For easier installation, do not depress the brake pedal after removing the brake caliper assembly. Suspend the brake caliper assembly with a rope. Tie-rod end Loosen the nut and disconnect the tie rod end the SST. Caution The sharp edges of the SST can slice the tie-rod end dust boot. Install the SST so that the sharp edges are between the dust boot and the knuckle. 1. Remove the cotter pin. 2. Loosen the nut until it is flush with the end of the ball stud. 3. Disconnect the tie rod end from the knuckle by using the SST. Lower arm Caution The sharp edges of the SST can slice the lower arm dust boot. Install the SST so that the sharp edges are between the dust boot and the knuckle. Loosen the nut and disconnect the lower arm by using the SST. Upper arm Caution The sharp edges of the SST can slice the upper arm dust boot. Install the SST so that the sharp edges are between the dust boot and the knuckle. Loosen the nut and disconnect the upper arm by using the SST. Installation note Locknut Install a new locknut and stake it.
