15. Calculate thickness of adjusting shim using the following pro-
cedure to satisfy specification of end play for mainshaft rear
bearing.
End play: 0 - 0.06 mm (0 - 0.0024 in)
Dimension“P”= (P1–P2) + End play
P: Thickness of adjusting shim
P1: Distance between transaxle case end face and
mainshaft rear bearing
P2: Distance between adjusting shim end face of
rear cover and transaxle mounting face
Mainshaft rear bearing adjusting shims:
Refer to SDS, MT-93.

REMOVALNLSU0031S01CAUTION:
+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.

INSTALLATIONNLSU0031S02+Install suspension assembly.
CAUTION:
Refill with new brake fluid“DOT 4”.
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-22.
5. Install brake hydraulic lines and tighten flare nuts.
