Intermediate Shaft
Removal
Drain the transmission oil or fluid {see section 13 or
14t.
Remove the left driveshaft (see page 16-3).
Bemove the three dowel bolts.
Remove the intermediate sh8ft from the differential.
CAUTION: Hold the intermediate shaft horizontal
until it is clear ot th6 difforantirl to prevont damage
to thc ditf€rential oil seal.
7. Install the knuckle on the lower arm.
NOTE: Wipe off the grease before tightening the
nut at the ball joint.
CAUTION:
. Be careful not to damago the ballioint boot.
. Torque the castle nut to tho low€r torque speci-
tication, then tighten it only lar onough to align
th6 slot whh tho pin hols. Do not align the nut
by loosening.

NOTE: lf the clearance between the gauge body
and adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-
to-piston clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clear-
ance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is
0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm(0.02 in) or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
rechecked.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
NOTE:
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star Iocknut securely.
Remove the special tool.

Brake Booster Inspection
Functions Tgst
1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times to deplete the vacuum reservoir, then
depress the pedal hard and hold it for 15 seconds. ll
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally; or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator proportioning valve, orcaliper) are leaking.
Start the engine with the pedal depressed. lf thepedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is operat-
ing normally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the
booster or check valve is faulty.
With the engine running, depress the brake pedal
lightly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back
automatic transmission creep, lf the brake pedal
sinks more than 25 mm (1.0 in.) in three minutes,
the master cylinder is faulty. A slight change inpedal height when the A,,/C compressor cycles on
and off is normal. (The A/C compressor load
changes the vacuum available to the booster.)
Leak Test
1. Depress the brake pedal with the engine running,
then stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not
vary while depressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum
booster is OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is
fau lty.
2. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure. When thepedal is first depressed, it should be low. On con-
secutive applications, the pedal height should grad-
ually rise. lf the pedal position does not vary, check
the booster check valve.
Boostor Ch€ck Valve T6st
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster,
Start the engine and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum available. It no vacuum is available. the check
valve is not working properly. Replace the brake
booster vacuum hose and check valve, and retest.

Ch6ck Starter Engag€mont;
1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box,
Press the clutch pedal all the way in (M/T), and turn
the ignition switch to "St8rt". The staner should
crank the engine,
NOTE: On cars equipped with manual transmission,
the engine will not crank unless the clutch pedal is
fully depressed.
lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to step 3.
Check the battery, battery positive cable, ground,
and the wire connections for looseness and cor-
rosion.
Test again. lf the stsner stilldoes not crank the en-
gine, go to step 4.
Bypass the ignition switch circuit as follows {make
sure the transmission is in neutral)
Unplug the connector (BLKMHT wire and solenoid
terminal) trom the staner. Then connect a jumper
wire from the batterv positive (+ ) terminal to the
solenoid terminal. The starter should crank the
engine.
a It the stsrter still does not crank the engine,
replace it and diagnose its internal problems,
a lf the starter cranks the engine. go to step 5.

NOTE: The air temperature must be between 59 and
100oF {15 and 38'C) betore testing.
Recommended Procedure:
a Use a starter system tester.
a Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
a Test and troubleshoot as described.
Alternate Procodure:
a Use the following equipment;- Ammeter, O-400 A- Voltmeter. O-20 V (accurate within O,1 volt)- Tachometer, O- 1 2OO rpm
a Hook up voltmeter and ammeter as shown.
