SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION LUBRICANTS ) Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with petroleum-based oils. Used oil may irritate the skin, and can ...--/ cause skin cancer and other skin disorders. Wash thoroughly after working with oil. We recommend water soluble hand cleaners. Do not use kero- sene, gasoline, or any other solvent, to remove oil from your skin. If repeated or prolonged contact with oil is necessary, wear protective clothing. Soiled clothing, particu- larly those soiled with used oils and greases containing lead, should be cleaned at regular intervals. 46UGIX-002 JACKING POSITIONS Warning Improperly jacking a vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle can slip off the jack and cause serious injury. Use only the correct front and rear jacking positions and block the wheels. Use safety stands to support the vehicle after it has been lifted.

GI HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL HOW TO USE THlS MANUAL ADVISORY MESSAGES You'll find several Warnings, Cautions, and Notes in this manual. Warning A Warning indicates a situation in which serious injury or death could result if the warning is ignored. Caution A Caution indicates a situation in which damage to the vehicle could result if the caution is ignored. Note A Note provides added information that will help you to complete a particular procedure. PREPARATION This points out the needed SSTs for the service operation. It is best to gather all necessary SSTs before beginning work. Example: 46UGIX-013 REPAIR PROCEDURE MANUAL STEERING PREPARATION SST NUMBER USAGE SST 1 1 Most repair operations begin with an overview illustration. It identifies the components, shows how the parts fit together, and describes visual part inspection. If a damaged or worn part is found, repair or replace it as necessary. Expendable parts, tightening torques, and symbols for oil, grease, and sealant are shown in the over- view illustration. Pages related to service procedures are shown under the illustration. Refer to this information when servicing the related part. 46UGIX-014 I id' I SST NAME SST ILLUSTRATION For removal of t~e rod end 49 01 18 850C Puller, ball pnt 49 01 18 850C For removal of t~e rod end Gartner Banana

FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURES 1. Inspection of parts When removed, each part should be carefully inspected for malfunctioning, deformation, damage, and other problems. 2. Arrangement of parts All disassembled parts should be carefully arranged for reassembly.Be sure to separate or otherwise identify the parts to be replaced from those that will be reused. 3. Cleaning parts for reuse All parts to be reused should be carefully and thoroughly cleaned in the appropriate method. Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other ,, particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using com- pressed air. REASSEMBLY Standard values, such as torques and certain adjust- ments, must be strictly observed in the reassembly of all parts. Refer to STANDARD BOLT AND NUT TIGHTENING TORQUE in section TD for tightening torques not men- tioned in the main text. If removed, these parts should be replaced with new ones: 1. Oil seals 4. Gaskets 2. O-rings 5. Lock washers 3. Cotter pins 6. Nylon nuts Depending on location: 1. Sealant should be applied to gaskets. 2. Oil should be applied to the moving components of parts. 3. Specified oil or grease should be applied at the pre- scribed locations (such as oil seals) before reassembly. Gartner Banana

FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURES GI ADJUSTMENTS Use suitable gauges and testers when making adjust- ments. RUBBER PARTS AND TUBING Prevent gasoline or oil from getting on rubber parts or tubing. HOSE CLAMPS When reinstalling, position the hose clamp in the original location on the hose, and squeeze the clamp lightly with large pliers to ensure a good fit. VISE When using a vise, put protective plates in the jaws of the vise to prevent damage to parkGI-1 3 TORQUE FORMULAS When using a torque wrench-SST combination, the writ- ten torque must be recalculated due to the extra length that the SST adds to the torque wrench. Recalculate the torque by using the following formulas. Choose the for- mula that applies to you. GI-I 3 L&A Unit centimeter centimeter centimeter inch inch Torque Unit N.m kgfm kgfcm ft.lbf in-lbf A = The length of the SST past the torque wrench drive. L = The length of the torque wrench.
