stalled with beveled spline ends facing stop ring and
short end of sleeve toward raer of shaft. In addition,
on synchro models, be sure a sleeve tooth is aligned
with each synchro strut (Fig. 60).

BODY STRIPES/DECALSÐXJ
SERVICE INFORMATION
XJ body stripes and decals are weather resistant
tape with a adhesive backing.
REPAIR
Small nicks, scratches and other surface marks in
a body stripe/decal can be touched-up with paint.
To eliminate blisters and air bubbles in a body
stripe/decal, pierce them with a needle or pin.
A heat gun can also be used to remove small wrin-
kles in a stripe/decal.
REQUIREMENTS
Body stripe/decal replacement requires that the
metal repair and paint refinish be completed first.
The work area temperature should be between
18ÉC (65ÉF) and 32ÉC (90ÉF).A tape stripe/decal
should not be replaced if the work area temper-
ature is less than 18ÉC (65ÉF).
The following equipment and material are neces-
sary for removal and installation:
²Commercial tape stripe/decal removal solution.
²Commercial adhesive removal solution.
²Liquid dish detergent (for the wetting solution).
²Mixture of wetting solution.
²Commercial wax and silicone removal solution.
²Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.
²Small squeegee (plastic or hard rubber).
²Water bucket and sponge.
²Clean wiping rags or paper towels.
²Heat gun (or infra-red heat bulb).
²Wax pencil.
²
Sharp knife, single edge razor blade or X-acto knife.
²Pair of scissors.
²Needle or pin.
The use of a wetting solution aids the installation of a
tape stripe/decal on a painted panel. Prepare the wet-
ting solution by mixing two or three teaspoons of dish
detergent with 1 gallon of water.Do not use soap.
Too much detergent will reduce the effective-
ness of the mixture.
REMOVAL
(1) Clean the repaired surface, adjacent panels and
door the openings as necessary.
(2) Start at one end of the tape stripe/decal and
apply heat with a heat gun. Slowly peel the stripe/
decal from the panel by pulling it back.Do not pull
the tape stripe/decal outward from panel.
WARNING: USE TAPE STRIPE/DECAL REMOVAL
SOLUTION IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA ONLY.
(3) A tape stripe/decal removal solution can be used
for removal at areas where a heat gun is ineffective:
²Mask-off the body panel area surrounding the tape
stripe/decal (Fig. 1).
²Move solution spray across the complete length of
stripe/decal with a steady motion.
²Ensure that the complete stripe/decal is covered
with solution.
²Allow stripe/decal removal solution to remain on
the stripe/decal for 20 minutes.
²After 20 minutes, peel the stripe/decal away from
flange area (Fig. 2).

LIFTGATE SUPPORT ROD CYLINDER DISPOSALÐ
XJ
WARNING: SAFETY GOGGLES MUST BE WORN
DURING THE DISPOSAL PROCEDURE. THE HIGH
PRESSURE GAS CHARGE IN THE SUPPORT ROD
CYLINDERS WILL BE RELEASED DURING THE
PROCEDURE.
(1) Remove the support rod cylinder(s) from the
liftgate.
(2) Position the support rod cylinder horizontally
in a vise and clamp the cylinder securely.
(3) Wrap the cylinder with 4-5 layers of shop tow-
els.
(4) Measure 1 and 1/2 inches inward from the end
of the cylinder. Mark this location on the towels with
chalk. The cylinder will be punctured at this location
to release the gas charge.
(5) Use a punch and hammer to puncture cylinder.
Force the punch through towels and into the cylinder
with a hammer. Continue striking the punch until
the gas begins to escapebut do not remove the
punch.
(6) Hold the towels and punch in position until all
the gas has escaped. Complete de-pressurization will
require about 4 to 10 seconds. After all the gas has
escaped, slowly remove the punch.
(7) Hold a towel over the hole in cylinder and press
the support rod piston all the way into the cylinder
to purge remaining oil.
(8) Remove the support rod cylinder from the vise
and discard it.
(9) If both support rod cylinders are being re-
placed, repeat this procedure for the remaining cylin-
der.
LIFTGATE SUPPORT ROD BALL STUD
REPLACEMENTÐXJ
REMOVAL
(1) Open the liftgate.
(2) Support the liftgate in the open position.
(3) Remove the retainer clip that attaches the sup-
port rod and cylinder to the ball stud.
(4) Disconnect the support rod from the ball stud.
(5) Remove the ball stud from the liftgate with a
T-30 Torx-head socket wrench (Fig. 3).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the replacement ball stud in the liftgate
with a T-30 Torx-head socket wrench. Tighten the
ball stud to 7 Nzm (62 in-lbs) torque.
(2) Connect the support rod to the ball stud.
(3) Secure the support rod to the ball stud with the
clip.
(4) Remove the support from the liftgate and test
the operation of support rod.
LIFTGATE ADJUSTMENTÐXJ
SERVICE INFORMATION
The position of the liftgate can be adjusted upward
or downward, and inward or outward by the use of
hinge shims. The liftgate stop bumpers must also be
adjusted if liftgate hinges are adjusted. The inward/
outward position of each stop bumper is adjusted by
the use of shims (Fig. 4).
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
(1) To move the position of the liftgate inward or
outward, remove or add shims between the hinge-
halves and liftgate.
(2) To move the position of the liftgate upward or
downward, remove or add shims between the hinge-
halves and roof panel.
