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.

Drive Shaft
ASSEMBLY
1) Fully apply joint grease to wheel side joint.
Use joint grease in the tube included in spare part.
“A” : Joint Grease (about 85- 95 g (3.0 - 3.4 oz) (Yellow))
2) Fit wheel side boot (1) on shaft.
Fill up inside of boot (1) with joint grease.
Before fixing boot band (2), insert screwdriver into boot (1)
on joint side and allow air to enter boot so that air pressure in
boot (1) becomes the same as atmospheric pressure.
3) Fixing boot band (2).
4) Install boot (1) onto drive shaft till its small diameter side fits
to shaft groove and fix there with boot band (2).
5) Install cage (1) to shaft.CAUTION:
To prevent any problem caused by washing solution,
do not wash joint boots. Degreasing of those parts
with cloth is allowed.
Bend each boot band against forward rotation.
Do not squeeze or distort boot when fastening it with
bands.
Distorted boot caused by squeezing air may reduce its
durability.
[A] : Wheel side
CAUTION:
Install cage (1) directing smaller outside diameter side to
shaft end.

5A-2 BRAKES PIPE/HOSE/MASTER CYLINDER
General Description
Master Cylinder Assembly
The master cylinder has two pistons and three piston cups. Its hydraulic pressure is produced in the primary (“a”
in the figure below) and secondary (“b”) chambers. The hydraulic pressure produced in the primary chamber
(“a”) acts on the rear wheel brakes.
Also, the hydraulic pressure produced in the secondary chamber (“b”) acts on the front wheel brakes.
WARNING:
Brake master cylinder cannot be disassembled. When anything faulty is found in it, it must be
replaced as an assembly.
CAUTION:
Brake master cylinder cannot be disassembled in principle. Should primary piston have come off
from cylinder while dismounting or handling it, wash it in the same specified fluid as that in reservoir
and place it back in cylinder.

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.
