1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL FRONT ACTUATOR
(a) Check that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork is
virtually above the center line of the actuator installation
hole.
(b) Using a dry cell battery, alig n the matchmark on the pinion
with the center line of the actuator.
NOTICE:
If the pinion of the actuator is not in the specified
place, the actuator is difficult to be installed.
Do not supply the battery positive voltage between
terminals.
If the matchmark comes to the extension limit of the
rotation, do not electrify moreover.
(c) Install a new O−ring to the actuator.
(d) Apply a light coat of gear oil on the O −ring.
(e) Apply MP grease to the gear part of the actuator.
(f) Install the actuator to the differential with the 2 nuts and bolt, so that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork will
fit matchmark of the pinion of the actuator.
HINT:
Do not damage the O −ring of the actuator.
Torque: 26 N·m (270 kgf·cm, 20 ft·lbf)
