2. Set the yoke in the arbor press with a piece of tube
stock beneath it.
Place a solid plug on the upper bearing assembly and
press it through to release the lower bearing
assembly.

3. If the bearing assembly will not pull out by hand after
pressing, tap the base of the lug near the bearing
assembly to dislodge it.
4. To remove the opposite bearing, turn the yoke over
and straighten the spider in the open hole. Then
carefully press on the end of the spider so the
remaining bearing moves straight out of the bearing
spider hole. If the spider or bearing are cocked, the
bearing will score the walls of the spider hole and ruin
the yoke.
5. Repeat this procedure on the remaining bearing to
remove the spider from the yoke.
6. Make sure of proper position for reinstallation by
applying setting marks, then remove spider .
Inspection and Repair
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear,
damage, corrosion or any other abnormal condition is
found through inspection.
NOTE: When any part of the journal assembly (spider,
needle roller bearing) requires replacement, be sure to
replace the entire assembly.
Check the following parts for wear, damage, noise or any
other abnormal conditions.
1. Spider
2. Needle roller bearing
3. Yoke
4. Flange
5. Boot
Spider pin for wear
Spider pin should be smooth and free from fretting or
galling. Visible signs of needle presence is normal, but
wear should not be felt.

1. Apply grease evenly to both the female and male
splines.
2. Apply a small amount of grease by finger to the outer
lips of the boot.
3. Slide the boot onto the yoke shaft being careful not to
damage the spline coating or boot.
4. Insert the yoke shaft spline into the sleeve being
careful to maintain proper phasing. The spider holes
should be in line and as per originally marked prior to
disassembly.5. Position boot onto sleeve and yoke shaft in final
position over boot grooves.
6. Attach boot clamps and secure using pliers.
7. Be sure clamp is properly seated and secure.

Preload of the universal joint.
Preload should be 0 to 49 N (0 to 11.0 lb).
Joints should rotate smoothly and freely and should
exhibit no rough or ratchety movement.
401RW019

Inspect splines of slip joint for wear.
The nylon-coated spline should be free from nicks
and dings and the underlying steel spline should not
be visible.
After cleaning the nylon coating spline, the coating
should exhibit only slight indication of wear.
Grease volume is approximately 10 grams of grease
in total. Grease should be evenly applied to both the
female and the male slip splines using a small brush.
After assembly of the slip joint, the sliding joint should
be fully worked from the full collapsed to the full
extended position.

POWER±ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
Diagnosis
Road Testing The Brakes
Brake Test
Brakes should be tested on a dry, clean, reasonably
smooth and level roadway. A true test of brake
performance cannot be made if the roadway is wet,
greasy or covered with loose dirt where all tires do not grip
the road equally. Testing will also be adversely affected if
the roadway is crowned so as to throw the weight of the
vehicle toward wheels on one side or if the roadway is so
rough that wheels tend to bounce. Test the brakes at
different vehicle speeds with both light and heavy pedal
pressure; however, avoid locking the wheels and sliding
the tires. Braking without locking the tires will stop the
vehicle in less distance than braking to a skid (which has
no brake efficiency). More tire to road friction is present
while braking without locking the tires than braking to a
skid.
The standard brake system is designed and balanced to
avoid locking the wheels except at very high deceleration
levels.
It is designed this way because the shortest stopping
distance and best control is achieved without brake
lock±up.
Because of high deceleration capability, a firmer pedal
may be felt at higher deceleration levels.
External Conditions That Affect Brake Performance
1. Tires: Tires having unequal contact and grip on the
road will cause unequal braking. Tires must be
equally inflated, identical in size, and the thread
pattern of right and left tires must be approximately
equal.
2. Vehicle Loading: A heavily loaded vehicle requires
more braking effort.
3. Wheel Alignment: Misalignment of the wheels,
particularly in regard to excessive camber and caster,
will cause the brakes to pull to one side.
Brake Fluid Leaks
With engine running at idle and the transmission in
ªNeutralº, depress the brake pedal and hold a constant
foot pressure on the pedal. If pedal gradually falls away
with the constant pressure, the hydraulic system may be
leaking.
Check the master cylinder fluid level. While a slight drop in
the reservoir level will result from normal lining wear, an
abnormally low level in reservoir indicates a leak in the
system. The hydraulic system may be leaking internally
as well as externally. Refer to
Master Cylinder Inspection.
Also, the system may appear to pass this test but still
have slight leakage. If fluid level is normal, check the
vacuum booster push rod length. If an incorrect length
push rod is found, adjust or replace the push rod. Check
the brake pedal travel and the parking brake adjustment.
When checking the fluid level, the master cylinder fluid
level may be lower than the ªMAXº mark if the front and
rear linings are worn. This is normal.
Warning Light Operation
When the ignition switch is in the START position, the
ªBRAKEº warning light should turn on and go off when the
ignition switch returns to the ON position.
The following conditions will activate the ªBRAKEº light:
1. Parking brake applied. The light should be on
whenever the parking brake is applied and the ignition
switch is on.
2. Low fluid level. A low fluid level in the master cylinder
will turn the ªBRAKEº light on.
3. During engine cranking the ªBRAKEº light should
remain on. This notifies the driver that the warning
circuit is operating properly.
