2. Remove brake caliper assembly and rotor.
Brake hose need not be disconnected from brake caliper. In
this case, suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to
stretch brake hose. Be careful not to depress brake pedal, or
piston will pop out.
Make sure brake hose is not twisted.

3. Separate tie-rod from knuckle with Tool.
Install stud nut on stud bolt to prevent damage to stud bolt.

4. Separate drive shaft from knuckle by lightly tapping it. If it is
hard to remove, use a puller.
Cover boots with shop towel so as not to damage them when
removing drive shaft.

Precautions
PRECAUTIONSNJAX0022+When installing each rubber part, final tightening must be
carried out under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
+Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
+After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment.
+Do not jack up at the trailing arm and lateral link.
+Always torque brake lines when installing.

1. Remove brake caliper assembly.
2. Remove wheel bearing lock nut.
3. Remove brake rotor (models with disk brake) or brake drum
(models with drum brakes).
4. Remove wheel hub bearing from spindle.
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect brake hose from caliper.
+Suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
+Be careful not to depress brake pedal, or piston will pop
out.

REMOVALNJSU0031S01CAUTION:
+Before removing the rear suspension assembly, discon-
nect the ABS wheel sensor from the assembly. Failure to
do so may result in damage to the sensor wires and the
sensor becoming inoperative.
+Remove suspension assembly.
1. Disconnect brake hydraulic lines and parking brake cable at
toggle lever. (Models with drum brakes.)
+Drain brake fluid before disconnecting brake lines.
2. Disconnect parking brake cable from caliper and remove brake
caliper and rotor. (Models with disc brakes.)
Suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
Be careful not to depress brake pedal, or piston will pop
out.
Make sure brake hose is not twisted.
3. Using a transmission jack, raise torsion beam a little, and
remove nuts and bolts from the trailing arm, shock absorber
assembly (lower side) and lateral link (Body side).
4. Lower transmission jack, and remove suspension.
5. Remove strut securing nuts (upper side). Then pull out strut
assembly.
SRA697A
INSTALLATIONNJSU0031S02+Install suspension assembly.
CAUTION:
Refill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Attach torsion beam, at trailing arm and lateral link, to vehicle.
Do not tighten bolts at this time.
SRA698A
2. Using a transmission jack, place lateral link and control rod
horizontally against torsion beam. Tighten lateral link on
vehicle.
3. Attach shock absorber assembly to vehicle. Then tighten the
lower side of shock absorber assembly.
4. Lower torsion beam to fully extended position. Remove trans-
mission jack and tighten torsion beam, at trailing arm, to speci-
fied torque. Refer to SU-20.
5. Install brake hydraulic lines and tighten flare nuts.
