INSPECTION
Check pipe and hose for dent, kink, crack, dirt and dust. Replace
if check result is not satisfactory.

NOTE:

For air bleeding of master cylinder alone, it must be removed
from vehicle.
(For procedures of removal and installation of master cylin-
der assembly and air bleeding, refer to CLUTCH MASTER
CYLINDER section.)

Do not allow fluid to get on painted surface.

Do not allow pipe and hose to contact hard against vehicle
or other parts.

Install each clamp securely.

Install E-ring securely as shown.

After installation, check clutch pedal free travel and bleed air
from system.

Check fluid leakage.

Add fluid close to MAX level of reservoir.

REMOVAL
1) Clean around reservoir cap and take out fluid with syringe or
such.
2) Remove push rod clevis pin.
3) Disconnect fluid pipe from master cylinder.
NOTE:
Do not allow fluid to get on painted surfaces.

INSTALLATION
1) To bleed air from master cylinder itself, tilt it as shown in figure
and add fluid into it.
NOTE:
After bleeding air from master cylinder, plug pipe hole in it
to prevent fluid from spilling out of it till pipe is connected.
2) Install master cylinder assembly and new gasket to body, attach-
ing bolt, nuts and push rod clevis pin.
NOTE:
Do not reuse gasket.
3) Torque attaching bolt and nut to specification.
4) Connect fluid pipe and torque flare nut to specification.

5) Apply grease to clevis pin and install it.
ªAº: Grease 99000-25010
6) Fill reservoir with specified brake fluid and check fluid leakage.
7) After installation, bleed air from system and check clutch pedal
free travel. Refer to BRAKE section for air bleeding procedure.
FLUID INSPECTION
Fluid level should be always between MIN and MAX lines on reser-
voir. If fluid decreases quickly, check for leakage, repair leaky point,
if any, and add fluid up to MAX level.
NOTE:

Brake fluid damages painted surface badly. Should it get on
painted surface, remove it immediately and clean surface
thoroughly.

Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which con-
tains mineral oil. Do not use container which has been used
for mineral oil or which is wet from water. Mineral oil will
cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in hydraulic
clutch system and water will mix with brake fluid, lowering
fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to pre-
vent contamination.

Make sure not to use fluid whose container cap was first
opened more than a year ago.

DIFFERENTIAL (FRONT) 7E-1
The differential assembly using a hypoid bevel pinion
and gear is installed to the front axle.
4WD control system controls drive force to be trans-
mitted to front axles or not. The reduction ratio varies
depending on transmission or engine type.The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive
power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genu-
ine parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further,
because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure
between bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lu-
bricate them by hypoid gear oil.
