Precautions
PRECAUTIONSNJAX0001+When installing rubber parts, final tightening must be car-
ried 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.
+After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment and adjust if necessary.
+Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
+Always torque brake lines when installing.

INSTALLATIONNJAX0015Transaxle SideNJAX0015S011. Drive a new oil seal to transaxle. Refer to MT-20 or AT-353,
ªReplacing Oil Sealº or ªDifferential Side Oil Seal
Replacementº, ªON-VEHICLE SERVICEº.
2. Set Tool along the inner circumference of oil seal.
SFA483-D
3. Insert drive shaft into transaxle. Be sure to properly align the
serrations and then withdraw Tool.
4. Push the drive shaft until the circular clip on the drive shaft fits
into the circular clip groove of the side gear.
5. After its insertion, try to pull the flange out of the slide joint by
hand. If it pulls out, the circular clip is not properly meshed with
the side gear.
