COMPANION FLANGE RUNOUT
1. Fit a dial gauge onto the companion flange face (inner side of
the propeller shaft mounting bolt holes).
2. Rotate the companion flange to check for runout.
3. Fit a test indicator to the inner side of the companion flange
(socket diameter).
4. Rotate the companion flange to check for runout.
5. If the runout value is outside the repair limit, follow the procedure
below to adjust.
a. Check for runout while changing the phase between companion flange and drive pinion gear by 90° step,
and search for the point where the runout is the minimum.
b. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the phase has been changed, replace the companion
flange.
c. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the companion flange has been replaced, possible cause
will be an assembly malfunction of the drive pinion gear and the electronically controlled coupling, mal-
functioning coupling bearing, or malfunctioning electronically controlled coupling.
TOOTH CONTACT
1. Drain the oil.
2. Remove the rear cover. Refer to RFD-20, "
Removal of Differen-
tial Assembly"
3. Attach dummy cover set. Refer to RFD-15, "HYPOID GEAR
BACKLASH" .
4. Apply red lead to drive gear face.
CAUTION:
Apply red lead to the both faces of 3 to 4 gears at 4 loca-
tions evenly spaced on the drive gear.
5. Rotate the drive gear back and forth in several times, check
drive pinion gear to drive gear tooth contact.
CAUTION:
Check tooth contact on drive side (acceleration) and
reverse side (deceleration).Runout limit : 0.13 mm (0.0051 in)
Runout limit : 0.19 mm (0.0075 in)

REMOVAL
CAUTION:
●Do not allow brake fluid to spill or splash on painted surfaces. Brake fluid can seriously damage
paint. If it gets on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately and wash with water.
●Do not bend or twist the brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
●Cover brake fluid line connections to prevent dust and other foreign material from entering.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the air bleeder.
2. Drain brake fluid gradually from the air bleeder of each wheel while depressing the brake pedal.
3. Using a flare nut wrench, remove brake tube flare nuts and dis-
connect brake tube from the brake hose.
4. Remove union bolts and disconnect caliper assembly from the
brake hose.
5. First remove lock spring from brake tube and strut mounting
positions. Then remove brake hose.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
●Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT4”.
●Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Connect brake hose to caliper assembly and tighten union bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
●Securely connect brake hose to the protrusions on the cylinder body.
●Do not reuse the copper washer for union bolts.
2. Connect brake hose to the strut and fix with lock spring.
3. Connect brake hose to brake tube. Temporarily tighten flare nuts by hand as far as they will go. Secure
them with the lock spring.
4. Using a flare nut torque wrench, tighten to the specified torque.

CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new ones, press piston in until the pads can be installed. Carefully mon-
itor brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level. Brake fluid will return, raising master cylinder res-
ervoir tank fluid level.
4. Insert lower sliding pin bolt and tighten to the specified torque.
5. Check brakes for drag.
