Inspection
1.
4.
Check the wheel cylinder for leakage.
Check the brake linings for cracking, glazing, wear,
and contamination.
Measure the brake lining thickness.
Brake Lining Thickness:
Standard: 4.0 mm {0.157 in}
Service Limit: 2.0 mm 10.08 in)
NOTE; Measurement does not include brake shoe
thickness.
lf the brake lining thickness is less than the service
limit, replace the brake shoes as a set.
Check the bearings in the hub unit for smooth oper-
ation. lf defective, refer to section 18

6. Measure the inside diameter oJ the brake drum
using the inside vernier calipers.
Drum Inside Diameter:
Standard: 199.9 - 200.0 mm {7.870 - 7.874 in)
Servic€ Limit: 201.0 mm (7.913 inl
lf the inside diameter of the brake drum is more
than the service limit, replace the brake drum.
Check the brake drum for scoring, grooves, and
cracks.

1. Remove the hub bearing unit (see section 18).
2. Remove the four backing plate bolts.
3, Pull the backing plate away from the trailing arm, then remove the wheel sensor. lt is not necessary to disconnect the
brake line.
NOTE: This illustration is drum brake type. The torque value of the disk type is same as drum type.

Troubleshooting
SymptomProbable Cause
Water leaks1. Clogged drain tube.
2. Gap between glass weatherstrjp and roof panel.
3. Defective or improperly installed glass weatherstrip.
4. Gap between drain seal and roof panel.
Wind noise'1. Excessive clearance between glass weatherstrip and roof panel.
Motor noise1. Loose motor.
2. Worn gear or bearing.
3. Cable assembly deformed.
Glass does not move, but motor turns'1. Clutch out of adjustment.
2. Foreign matter stuck between guide rail and slider.
3. lnner cable loose.
4. Cable assembly not attached properly.
Glass does not move and motor does not turn
{glass can be moved with moonroof wrench)
1. Blown fuse,
2. Faulty switch.
3. Battery run down.
4. Defective motor.
5. Faulty relay.

Glass Height Adjustment
The roof panel should be even with the glass weather-
strip, to within 1.7 :lr3 mm (0.07 :3:31 in.) all the way
around. lf not, open the giass fully, and:
GLASS WEATHERSTRIP
1. Remove the bracket cover.
Loosen the nuts, and install the shims between the
glass frame and glass bracket as shown.
Shim thickness: Front max.3 mm 10,12 in.l
Rear max. 2 mm 10.08 in.)
Repeat on opposite side i{ necessary.

5. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
NOTE:
. Check that the retractor locking mechanism func-
tions as described on page 20-91.
. Make sure you assemble the washers and collars
on the uoDer and lower anchor bolts as shown.
. Before installing the anchor bolts, make sure there
are no twists or kinks in the front seat belt.

Clutch InsPection
Check the plated parts of the armature plate for color
changes, peeling or other damage lf there is dam-
age. replace the clutch set.
Check the rotor pulley bearing play and drag by rotat-
ing the rotor pulley by hand Replace the clutch set
with a new one if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag
Measure the clearance between the rotor pulley and
the armature plate all the way around lf the clear-
ance is not within specified limits, the armature plate
must be removed and shims added or removed as
required, following the procedure on page 22-34
Cl€arance: 0.5 ! 0.15 mm {0.020 t 0.006 in)
NOTE: The shims are available in four thicknesses:
0.1 mm,0.2 mm,0.4 mm and 0.5 mm
. Release the field coil connector from the holder' then
disconnect it. Check the thermal protector for conti-
nuity. lf there is no continuity. replace the thermal
protecror,
NOTE: The thermal protector will have no continuity
above 251.6 to 262.4oF 1122lo 128'C). When the tem-
perature drops below 240 8 to 219.8"F (116 to 104"C),
the thermal protector will have continuity
. Check resistance of the field coil
Field Coil Resistance: 3.05 to 3.35 O at 68"F (20"C)
lf resistance is not within specifications, replace the
field coil.

Clutch Inspection
Check the plated parts of the pressure plate for colo.changes, peeling or other damage. lf there is dam-age, replace the clutch set.
Check the pulley bearing play and drag by rotatingthe pulley by hand, Replace the clutch set with a newone if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag.
Measure the clearance between the pullev and thepressure plate all the way around. lf the clearance isnot within specified limits, the pressure plate must beremoved and shim(s) added or removed as required,
following the procedure on page 22-41.
Clearanca:0.5 t 0.15 mm {0.020 r 0.006 in}
NOTE: The shims are availabte in three thicknesses:0.1 mm,0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.

JRectifier Removal
1. Remove the four through bolts.
Heat the rear bearing seat with a 1,000 W hair drier
tor about five minutes (120 - 140'F, 50 - 60"C).
3. Separate the rear housing from the drive-end hous-
ing by inserting a flst tip screwdriver into the open-
ings and prying them a part. Be careful not to dam-
age the stator with the tip of the screwdraver.
Seoarate the rear housing and drive-end housing
with the stator attached to the rear housing.
