REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
ABRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Remove the brake caliper assembly and secure it with a
wire.
BPROPELLER SHAFT DISCONNECTION
(1) Make an alignment mark on the differential carrier
companion flange and propeller shaft flange yoke.
(2) Remove the mounting bolts and nuts of the differential
carrier and propeller shaft.
CCROSSMEMBER MOUNTING BOLT REMOVAL
Support the differential case with a garage jack or transmission
jack and then remove the crossmember mounting bolt.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ACROSSMEMBER MOUNTING BOLT
INSTALLATION
Tighten the mounting bolts in the numerical order shown.
NOTE
To ensure both good installation accuracy and ease of
installation, the crossmember mounting holes have different
diameters between front and rear. This is the reason for
specifying the tightening sequence of the mounting bolts.
BPROPELLER SHAFT CONNECTION
Align the alignment mark on the differential carrier with that
of the propeller shaft at installation.
Caution
Oil or grease on the threads of the mounting bolt or nut
can allow the bolt or nut to come loose. Be sure to
degrease the threads before installation.
Bolt size (thread dia. × length mm)
1 to 3: Flange bolt (with washer) 12 × 70
4: Flange bolt (with washer) 12 × 152

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
1. STEERING ANGLE CHECK
Locate front wheels on turning radius gauge and measure
steering angle.
Standard value:
Inner wheel
3330’ ± 2
3310’ ± 2
Outer wheel
2820’
2810’
When the angle is not within the standard value, the toe
is probably incorrect. Adjust toe (Refer to GROUP 33A –
On-vehicle Service) and recheck steering angle.
2. OIL PUMP BELT TENSION CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
Refer to GROUP 11 – Engine Adjustments.
