(b) Check the dust cover for damage.
6. CHECK TRANSAXLE OIL (FLUID)
Visually check the transaxle for oil (fluid) leakage.
If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
7. REPLACE TRANSAXLE OIL (FLUID)
(a) M/T:
Replace the transaxle oil (See page MX-6).
(b) A/T:
Replace the transaxle fluid.
(A132L: See page AX-2)
(A242L: See page AX-2)
8. REPACK REAR WHEEL BEARINGS
(a) Change rear wheel bearing grease.
(1) Remove the hub and inner and outer bearings.
Clean in solvent and inspect the bearings for dam-
age.
(2) Pack the bearings and axle hubs with multipurpose
grease.
Wheel bearing grease grade:
Lithium base multipurpose grease (NLGI No.2)
(b) Install inner bearing and new oil seal.
(c) Install the hub and adjust the wheel bearing preload (See
page SA-42).
Preload (while turning):
Add frictional force plus
0 - 11.8 N (0 - 1.2 kgf, 0 - 2.6 lbf)
