2. Clean oil filter mounting surface on cylinder block. Coat rub-
ber seal of new oil filter with engine oil.
3. Screw in the oil filter until a slight resistance is felt, then
tighten an additional 2/3 of a turn.
4. Add engine oil.
Refer to Changing Engine Oil.
lClean excess oil from engine.
Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the
coolant when the engine is hot.
ÐDRAINING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
1. Move heater TEMP control knob all the way to HOT.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator.
3. Remove radiator filler cap.
Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir
tank.
Install it temporarily.
lBe careful not to allow coolant to contact drive belts.
4. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left rear of cyl-
inder block.
5. Drain coolant and install cylinder block drain plug and radia-
tor drain plug.
6. Fill radiator with water and warm up engine.
7. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
8. Repeat step 2 through step 7 two or three times.
9. Drain water.
ÐREFILLING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
10. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug, and cylinder block
drain plugs.
lApply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
Cylinder block drain plug:
: 54 - 64 N´m (5.5 - 6.5 kg-m, 40 - 47 ft-lb)
11. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with coolant up to the MAX
level and install radiator cap.
For coolant mixture ratio, refer to MA-14.

9. Turn drive pinion in both directions several revolutions and
measure pinion bearing preload.
Tool number: ST3127S000
Pinion bearing preload (With front oil seal):
1.1 - 1.7 N´m (11 - 17 kg-cm, 9.5 - 14.8 in-lb)
Pinion bearing preload (Without front oil seal):
1.0 - 1.6 N´m (10 - 16 kg-cm, 8.7 - 13.9 in-lb)
When pinion bearing preload is outside the specifications,
replace pinion bearing adjusting washer and spacer with a
different thickness.
10. Select side retainer adjusting shim.
Refer to ``ADJUSTMENT'', PD-23.
11. Press-fit side bearing outer race into side retainer.

12. Install side oil seal to side retainer.
Tool number: ST33270000
13. Install differential case assembly.
14. Place side retainer adjusting shims (refer to
``ADJUSTMENT'', PD-23), and O-ring on side retainer, and
install them in final drive housing.
Tool number: ST33720000
lAlign arrows stamped on side retainer and final drive hous-
ing.
15. Measure ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash with a dial indi-
cator.
Ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash:
0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0071 in)
lIf backlash is too small, decrease thickness of right shim and
increase thickness of left shim by the same amount.
If backlash is too great, reverse the above procedure.
Never change the total amount of shims as it will change the
bearing preload.
