GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. GENERAL NOTICE
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner’s manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performe\
d.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in\
the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time inter\
val (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval \
as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and incre\
ase exhaust emissions.
2. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
3. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL Check that the coolant level is between the FULL and LOW lines on the se\
e −through reservoir.
4. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not blocked with leave\
s, dirt or bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or loose connections.
5. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upp\
er and lower level lines on the case.
If level is low, add distilled water only.
6. BRAKE FLUID LEVELS
Check that the brake fluid level is near the upper level line on the see\
−through reservoir.
7. ENGINE DRIVE BELTS
Check drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or oiliness.
8. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the level on the dipstick with the engine turned off.
9. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
(a) Check the level on the dipstick.
(b) The level should be in the HOT or COLD range depending on the fluid temp\
erature.
10. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b) With the engine idling and the parking and foot brake applied, shift the sel\
ector into all positions from the P to L, and then shift into the P.
(c) Pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag. Re −insert the dipstick fully and check that
the fluid level is in the HOT range.
(d) Do this check with the fluid at normal driving temperature (70 − 80°C (158 − 176° F)).
HINT:
Wait about 30 minutes before checking the fluid level after extended driving\
at high speeds in hot weather,
driving in heavy traffic or with a trailer.
11. EXHAUST SYSTEM
Visually inspect for cracks, holes or loose supports.
If any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell of the exhaust fumes is\
noticed, have the cause located
and corrected.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND HOSES
HINT:
Check in a well lighted area. Check the entire circumference
and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as required. Turn
the front wheels fully right or left before checking the front brake.
(a) Check all brake lines and hoses.
Check for damage.
Check for wear.
Check for deformation.
Check for cracks.
Check for corrosion.
Check for leaks.
Check for bends.
Check for twists.
(b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leak- age.
(c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges, moving parts and the exhaust system.
(d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through the center of the grommets.
2. INSPECT FRONT BRAKE P ADS AND DISCS (See page
BR−27 )
3. INSPECT REAR BRAKE PADS AND DISCS (See page
BR−36 )
4. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE LININGS AND DRUMS
(See page BR−42 )

SUSPENSION AND AXLE REAR AXLE HUB
SA−69
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL REAR AXLE HUB
(a) Clean the hub installation position of the axle housing and
apply MP grease thinly.
(b) Place the axle hub to the axle housing.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the oil seal.
(c) Install the outer bearing.
2. INSTALL LOCK NUT PLATE AND REAR AXLE BEAR- ING LOCK NUT
(a) Place the lock nut plate on the axle housing, making sure
the tongue lines up with the key groove.
(b) Temporarily install the lock nut.
3. INSTALL DISC
Install the disc to the rear axle hub and temporarily install the
2 hub nuts.
4. ADJUST PRELOAD
(a) Using SST, torque the bearing lock nut.SST 09509−25011
Torque: 59 N·m (600 kgf·cm, 43 ft·lbf)
(b) Make the bearing smooth by turning the hub several
times.
(c) Using the SST, retighten the bearing lock nut. Torque: 59 N·m (600 kgf·cm, 43 ft·lbf)
(d) Using the SST, loosen the nut until it can be turned by
hand.
(e) Using a spring tension gauge, check the preload and tighten the nut until the preload is within the specification.
Preload (at starting):
26−57 N (2.6−5.8 kgf, 5.7−12.8 lbf)
NOTICE:
Make sure that there is no contact with the parking brake
shoe.
(f) Align the mark on the bearing lock nut and tip of axle housing under the above preload range.
