4. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step tighten all bolts, in sequence, to about 29
N.m {3.0 kgf.m,22 lbf.ft); in the finat step, tighten inthe same sequence to 85 N.m (8.7 kgf.m,63 lbf.ft).
Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a pre-
set-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly
and do not overtighten.
lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.

wheel puller on the steering wheel and remove it.
Note these items when removing the steering wheel:
. Do not tap on the steering wheel or the steering
column shaft when removing the steering wheel.
. lf you thread the puller bolts into the wheel hub
more than five threads, the bolts will hit the cable
reel and damage it. To prevent this, install a pair
of jam nuts five threads up on each puller bolt.

Front Toe Inspection/Adjustment
Use commercially-available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster,
camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the equipment
manufacturer's instructions,

1.Check the tire pressure.
Center the steering wheel spokes.
Check the toe with the wheels pointed straight
ahead.

- lf adjustment is required, go on to step 4.
- lf no adjustment is required, remove alignment
equipment.
Loosen the tie-rod locknuts, and turn both tie-rods
in the same direction until the front wheels are
pointing straight ahead.
5.Turn both tie-rods equally until the toe reading on
the wheel alignment computer is correct.
After adjusting, tighten the tie-rod locknuts and
reposition the tie-rod boots if they are twisted or
displaced.

Example: After the rear toe inspection, the wheel is 2
mm (0.08 in) out of the specification.- Move the arm so the adjusting bolt moves 2 mm
{0.08 in) inward from the position recorded before the
adjustment.- The distance the adjusting bolt is moved should be
equal to the amount out-of-specification.
