WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” when working on fuel system. Refer to FL-3, "
General Precau-
tions" .
1. Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-775, "
FUEL
PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITH EURO-OBD)], EC-
11 3 9 , "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITHOUT
EURO-OBD)], EC-42, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE"
[QR25DE (WITH EURO-OBD)] or EC-452, "FUEL PRESSURE
RELEASE" [QR25DE (WITHOUT EURO-OBD)].
2. Open the fuel filler cap and release the pressure inside the fuel
tank.
3. Remove rear seat bottom.

●Visually confirm that the two retainer tabs are connected to the connector.
●Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely connected.
●Install fuel level sensor unit with mating mark (triangular protrusion) facing between two carved lines on
fuel tank. (Figure shows left side of fuel tank.)
NOTE:
On right side of fuel tank, there are three carved lines on fuel tank. Set mating mark between two outer
carved lines.
●Install the inspection hole cover with the front mark (arrow)
facing front of the vehicle (Both for RH and LH).

CLUTCH DISC, CLUTCH COVER AND FLYWHEEL
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT AFTER REMOVAL
Clutch Disc
●Measure circumferential runout relative to the clutch disc center
spline. If it is outside the specification, replace the clutch disc.
●Measure clutch disc spline and input shaft spline backlash at the
circumference of the disc. If outside the specification, replace.
●Using calipers, measure the depth to the clutch disc facing rivet
heads. If it exceeds the allowable wear limit, replace the clutch
disc.
Clutch Cover
Check diaphragm spring lever claws for unevenness with the lever
still on the vehicle. If they exceed the tolerance, adjust lever height
using a diaphragm adjusting wrench (special service tool).
●Check clutch cover thrust ring for wear or breakage. If wear or
breakage is found, replace clutch cover assembly.
NOTE:
●Worn thrust ring will generate a beating noise when tapped at
the rivet with a hammer.
●Broken thrust ring will make a clinking sound when cover is
shaken up and down.
●If a trace of burn or discoloration is found on the clutch cover pressure plate to clutch disc contact surface,
repair the surface with sandpaper. If surface is damaged or distorted, replace the assembly.
Flywheel Runout
Using a dial gauge, measure runout at the flywheel clutch contact
surface. If runout is outside the specification, replace the flywheel. If
a trace of burn or discoloration is found on the surface, repair it with
sandpaper.
CAUTION:
Measure it at flywheel outer face (not on knock pin and clutch cover mounting hole). Runout limit/diameter of the area to be measured:
1.0 mm (0.039 in) or less/230 mm(9.06 in) dia.
Maximum allowable spline backlash:
1.0 mm (0.039 in)
