FRONT DRIVE SHAFT 4A-11
For DOJ Type Drive Shaft
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and what is
found though visual check of component parts after disassembly,
prepare replacing parts and proceed to reassembly.
Make sure that wheel side joint assembly (1) and DOJ housing
(2) are washed thoroughly and air dried, and boots (3) are
cleaned with cloth if they are to be reused.

“B” : Black grease (rather light than “A”)
(about 70 - 90 g/2.5 - 3.2 oz)
1) Wash disassembled parts (except boots). After washing. dry
parts completely by blowing air.
2) Clean boots with cloth. Do not wash boots in degreaser,
such as gasoline or kerosene, etc.
Washing in degreaser causes deterioration of boot.

12) When fixing boot (1) to outer race (2) with differential side big
band (3), adjust so that measurements become as indicated
below.

“d” : 157.8 mm (6.21 in.) for left side
“e” : 192.9 mm (7.59 in.) foe right side
For Center Shaft and Center Bearing Support
Install center shaft by reversing removal procedure and noting fol-
lowing points
When installing bearing support circlip (1), make sure that if
fits in circlip groove in center bearing support (2) securely as
shown.
When installing left oil seal (1), use care so that oil seal in
proper direction as shown figure.
Be sure to apply grease to oil seal lip and bearing side space
indicated in figure.
“A” : Grease 99000-25010
After press-fit center shaft (2) from left oil seal side, install
circlip to groove of center shaft securely. CAUTION:
To prevent any problem caused by washing solution, do
not wash joint boots. Degreasing of those parts with
cloth is allowed.
CAUTION:
Bend each boot band against forward rotation (A).
Do not squeeze or distort boot when fastening it with
bands.
Distorted boot caused by squeezing air may reduce its
durability.

NOTE:
All front fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital parts
and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of same
part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement
part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassem-
bly to assure proper retention of all parts. There is to be no welding as it may result in extensive dam-
age and weakening of the metal.

DIAGNOSIS
ROAD TESTING BRAKES
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road test
brakes by making brake applications with both light and heavy pedal forces at various speeds to determine if the
vehicle stops evenly and effectively. Also drive vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without brake
application. If it does, check the tire pressure, front end alignment and front suspension attachments for loose-
ness. See diagnosis table for other causes.
BRAKE FLUID LEAKS
Check the master cylinder fluid levels. While a slight drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining wear,
an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the system. In such a case, check the entire brake system for leak-
age. If even a slight evidence of leakage is noted, the cause should be corrected or defective parts should be
replaced.
SUBSTANDARD OR CONTAMINATED BRAKE FLUID
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components
in the hydraulic system to deteriorate.
If primary piston cups are swollen, then rubber parts have deteriorated. This deterioration may also be evi-
denced by swollen wheel cylinder piston cups on the drum brake wheels.
If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts with
compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol out of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings.
If excessive fluid is found, replace the pads.
If master cylinder piston seals are satisfactory, check for leakage or excessive heat conditions. If leakage is not
found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and bleed system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to contaminated fluid.
