REPAIR Assemble outboard pistons
13.Coat new fluid seal with brake fluid. Ease seal
into groove in bore using only fingers, ensuring it
is properly seated. Fluid seal and groove are not
same in section, so when seal is seated it feels
raised to touch at edge furthest away from
mouth of bore.
14.Coat appropriate piston with brake fluid. Insert it
squarely into bore by hand only. Do not tilt piston
during insertion, leave approximately 8mm
projecting from bore.
15.Coat new wiper seal with brake fluid and fit to
new seal retainer. Slide assembly, seal first, over
protruding piston and into bore recess. Use
piston clamp to press home seal retainer and
piston.
Mounting inboard pistons
16.Clamp outboard pistons and carry out same
procedure for removing and fitting outboard
pistons and seals, instructions 8 to 15.
Fit calipers and pads
17.Fit caliper, tighten bolts evenly to
82 Nm.
18.Connect brake flexible hoses to caliper. Tighten
to
15 Nm.
19.Remove hose clamps.
20.Insert pads. Fit pins and springs, secure using
new split [cotter] pin.
21.Bleed brake system.

22.Press brake pedal firmly several times to locate
friction pads.
23.Fit road wheels, remove axle stands. Finally
tighten road wheel nuts to
130 Nm.
24.Road test vehicle. Note that new friction pads
require 'bedding-in', this may take several
hundred miles before brakes are at maximum

Remove caliper
1.Loosen rear road wheel nuts. Jack up vehicle,
lower onto axle stands, remove wheels.
2.Using a recognised hose clamp, clamp flexible
brake hose above rear axle.
3.Remove brake pipe(s) from rear brake caliper(s).
4.Seal pipe ends to prevent ingress of dirt.
5.Remove retaining pins and springs and withdraw
pads. If same pads are to be refitted, identify
them for assembly in original positions.
6.Remove two bolts, withdraw caliper from axle.
Repair
Do not separate caliper halves
7.Clean outer surfaces of caliper with aerosol
brake cleaner.
8. WITH CAUTIONexpel pistons from their bores
by applying air pressure to fluid inlet port. It is
unlikely both pistons will expel at same time,
regulate rate with a suitable piece of wood
inserted between two pistons.
9.Finally, remove pistons keeping them identified
with their respective bores.
10.Remove wiper seal retainer by inserting a blunt
screwdriver between retainer and seal and pry
retainer carefully from mouth of bore.
11.Taking care not to damage seal grooves, extract
wiper seal and fluid seal.
12.Clean bores, pistons and particularly seal
grooves using clean brake fluid only. If caliper or
pistons are corroded or their condition is not
perfect new parts must be fitted.

Vibration through steering wheel
1.Check tyre pressures.

Pressures
2.Check condition of tyres.See Tyre Wear Chart
3.Check front wheel alignment.See STEERING,
Adjustment, Front Wheel Alignment
4.Check wheel balance.See Repair, Wheel
Balancing
NOTE: In the event that any apparent
vibration is not eliminated at this stage.
See PROPELLER SHAFTS, Fault
diagnosis, Vibration Harshness
NOTE: In the event that any apparent
vibration is not eliminated at this stage, go
to steering Fault Diagnosis, Fault -
Symptom (Steering vibration, road wheel
shimmy/wobble).
See STEERING, Fault diagnosis,
Steering Faults
NOTE: Radial ply tyres have a flexible
sidewall, which produces a sidewall bulge
making the tyre appear under-inflated.
This is a normal condition for radial ply tyres. Do
not attempt to reduce this bulge by over-inflating
the tyre.
1. Correct inflation.
2. Under-inflation.
3. Over-inflation.
4. Tread contact with road.

REPAIR GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: This is a multi- purpose vehicle
with wheels and tyres designed for both
on and off road usage. Only use wheels
and tyres specified for use on the vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with tubeless 'S','T' or 'H'
rated radial ply tyres as standard equipment. The
tyres are of European metric size and must not be
confused with the "P" size metric tyres available in
North America.
Vehicle wheel sets, including spare wheel, must be
fitted with the same make and type of tyre to the
correct specification and tread pattern. Under no
circumstances must cross-ply or bias-belted tyres be
used.
For tyre specification and pressures.
See GENERAL
SPECIFICATION DATA, Information, Wheels and
Tyres
Alloy Wheels
Tubeless tyres are mounted on 7.0 inch wide by 16
inch diameter cast aluminium alloy wheels.The
surface has a paint finish covered with a clear
polyurethane lacquer. Care must be taken when
handling the wheel to avoid scratching or chipping the
finish.
The alloy wheel rim is of the asymmetric hump
type incorporating a safety hump to improve
location of the tyre bead in its seat. If difficulty is
experienced in fitting tyres to this type of rim.
See
Tyre Fitting
WARNING: Do not fit an inner tube to an
alloy wheel.
Steel wheels
Tubeless tyres are mounted on 7.0 inch wide by 16
inch diameter steel wheels.TYRE INSPECTION
Inspect tyres at weekly intervals to obtain maximum
tyre life and performance and to ensure compliance
with legal requirements. Check for signs of incorrect
inflation and uneven wear, which may indicate a need
for balancing or front wheel alignment.
See Fault
diagnosis, Tyre Wear Chart
if the tyres have
abnormal or uneven wear patterns.
Check tyres at least weekly for cuts, abrasions, bulges
and for objects embedded in the tread. More frequent
inspections are recommended when the vehicle is
regularly used in off road conditions.
To assist tyre inspection, tread wear indicators are
moulded into the bottom of the tread grooves, as
shown in the illustration below.
When the tread has worn to a remaining depth of 1.6
mm the indicators appear at the surface as bars which
connect the tread pattern across the width of the tread
as shown in the illustration below.

74WHEELS AND TYRES
2
REPAIR When the indicators appear in two or more adjacent
grooves, at three locations around the tyre, a new tyre
must be fitted.
NOTE: Do not attempt to interchange
tyres, e.g. from front to rear, as tyre wear
produces characteristic patterns
depending on their position. If tyre position is
changed after wear has occured, the performance
of the tyre will be adversely affected.
NOTE: Territorial vehicle regulations
governing tyre wear MUST be adhered to.
WHEELS INSPECTION
Regularly check the condition of the wheels. Replace
any wheel that is bent, cracked, dented or has
excessive runout.
VALVES INSPECTION
Check condition of inflation valve. Replace any valve
that is worn, cracked, loose, or leaking air.TYRE PRESSURES
Maximum tyre life and performance will be
obtained only if tyres are maintained at the correct
pressures.
Tyre pressures must be checked at least once a
month and at least once a week, preferably daily, if
the vehicle is used off road.
The tyre inflation pressure is calculated to give the
vehicle satisfactory ride and steering characteristics
without compromising tyre tread life. For
recommended tyre pressures in all conditions.
See
GENERAL SPECIFICATION DATA, Information,
Wheels and Tyres
American vehicles - A label attached to the inside
edge of the driver's door also provides tyre pressure
information.
Always check tyre inflation pressures using an
accurate gauge and inflate tyres to the
recommended pressures only.
Check and adjust tyre pressuresONLYwhen the
tyres are cold, vehicle parked for three hours or more,
or driven for less than 3.2 km (2 miles) at speeds
below 64 km/h (40 mph). Do not reduce inflation
pressures if the tyres are hot or the vehicle has been
driven for more than 3.2 km (2 miles) at speeds over
64 km/h (40 mph), as pressures can increase by 0.41
bars (6 p.s.i) over cold inflation pressures.
CheckALLtyre pressures including the spare. Refit
the valve caps as they form a positive seal and keep
dust out of the valve.
