REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
ADRIVE SHAFT NUT REMOVAL
Caution
Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing
with the drive shaft nut loosened.
BDRIVE SHAFT REMOVAL
(1) Using the special tool, drive the drive shaft out of the
hub.
(2) Apply a lever to the protrusion of the drive shaft and
remove the drive shaft from the differential carrier.
Caution
(1) Be sure to remove the drive shaft from the
differential side using a lever. Removing it from
the BJ side could damage the parts.
(2) Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel
bearing with the drive shaft removed. If it is
unavoidable to apply the weight for reasons of
moving the vehicle, use the special tool to
temporarily secure it in position.
(3) To prevent entry of foreign matter into the
differential carrier, use the special tool as a cover.

BDRIVE SHAFT NUT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the washer on the drive shaft in the direction shown
on the left.
(2) Using the special tool, tighten the drive shaft nut to the
specified torque.
Caution
Before torquing the drive shaft nut to specification,
do not apply vehicle weight to the wheel bearing.
(3) If, at this time, the split pin holes are not aligned, tighten
the nut further (within 255 Nm {26.0 kgf
m}), insert the
split pin in the first matching holes, and bend it securely.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
Use the conventional procedures to measure wheel alignment.
1. CAMBER
Standard value:
–1
00’ ± 30’ (difference between right and left
wheel: less than 30’) or
–2
00’ ± 30’ (difference between right and left
wheel: less than 30’)
Select the camber angle as follows.
If the arrow on the bolt that couples the strut assembly
to knuckle faces inboard → –1
00’ ± 30’.
If the arrow on the bolt that couples the strut assembly
to knuckle faces outboard → –2
00’ ± 30’.
2. CASTER
Standard value: 3
54’ ± 30’ (difference between right
and left wheel: less than 30’)
NOTE
The suspension system is designed so as to retain the
preset caster value, requiring no adjustment for caster.
