REMOVAL
1) Remove axle shaft from axle housing according to Step1) to
6) in the same section in the service manual mentioned in
the FOREWORD of this manual noting following points. NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Man-
ual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
All suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as speci-
fied during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any suspension part. Replace it with a new part, or
damage to the part may result.

General Description
Tires
This vehicle is equipped with following tire.
Tire specification :
P235/60 R16 or 235/60 R16
The tires are of tubeless type. The tires are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation pressure.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively
rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
Wheels
Standard equipment wheels are following steel wheels.
Wheel specification :
16 x 7 JJ NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Man-
ual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
All wheel fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital
parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of
the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of all parts.
There is to be no welding as it may result in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.

BRAKES PIPE/HOSE/MASTER CYLINDER 5A-3
On-Vehicle Service
Front Brake Hose/Pipe
REMOVAL
1) Raise and suitably support vehicle. Remove tire and wheel.
This operation is not necessary when removing pipes connecting master cylinder and flexible hose.
2) Clean dirt and foreign material from both hose end or pipe end fittings. Remove brake hose or pipe.
INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal procedure for brake hose and pipe installation procedure.
For installation, make sure that steering wheel is in straightforward position and hose has no twist or kink.
Check to make sure that hose doesn't contact any part of suspension, both in extreme right and extreme left
turn conditions. If it does at any point, remove and correct. Fill and maintain brake fluid level in reservoir.
Bleed brake system.
2) Perform brake test and check installed part for fluid leakage.
Tightening torque
Brake pipe flare nut (a) : 16 N·m (1.6 kg-m, 12.0 lb-ft)
Brake flexible hose bolt (brake caliper/2 joint) (b) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Man-
ual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
