NOTE:
The cylinder body cannot be disassembled.
Pad ReplacementNJBR0142WARNING:
Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal
because piston will pop out.
Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims in replacing pads.
If shims are rusted or show peeling of rubber coat, replace
them with new shims.
It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend
cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to “Brake Burnishing Procedure”, “ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE”, BR-7.

Checking Steering Gear and LinkageNJST0037STEERING GEARNJST0037S01Check gear housing and boots for looseness, damage or
grease leakage.
Check connection with steering column for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGENJST0037S02Check ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for
looseness, wear, damage or grease leakage.
YST003
Checking Fluid LevelNJST0012Check fluid level, referring to the scale on reservoir tank.
Use “HOT” range for fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F).
Use “COLD” range for fluid temperatures of 0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F).
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
Recommended fluid is DEXRONTMIII or equivalent. Refer
to MA-19, “Fluids and Lubricants”.
YST006
YST007
Checking Fluid LeakageNJST0013Check the lines for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of fluid in oil tank rises to 60 to 80°C
(140 to 176°F).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds
and carefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
4. If fluid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from power steering pump is noticed, check
power steering pump. Refer to ST-25.
6. Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.

Install pipe connector.
Observe specified tightening torque when tightening high-pres-
sure and low-pressure pipe connectors. Excessive tightening
will damage threads of connector or O-ring.
Connector tightening torque:
1 Low-pressure side
27 - 39 N·m (2.8 - 4.0 kg-m, 20 - 29 ft-lb)
2 High-pressure side
15 - 25 N·m (1.5 - 2.5 kg-m, 11 - 18 ft-lb)
The O-ring in low-pressure pipe connector is larger than that
in high-pressure connector. Take care to install the proper
O-ring.
SST824A
Initially, tighten nut on tie-rod outer socket and knuckle arm to
29 to 39 N·m (3 to 4 kg-m, 22 to 29 ft-lb). Then tighten further
to align nut groove with first pin hole so that cotter pin can be
installed.
CAUTION:
Tightening torque must not exceed 49 N·m (5 kg-m, 36 ft-lb).
NOTE:
Only the dust boot, tie-rod inner socket and tie-rod outer socket can
be disassembled on models for Europe.
SST819A
Before removing lower joint from gear, set gear in neutral
(wheels in straight-ahead position). After removing lower joint,
put matching mark on pinion shaft and pinion housing to record
neutral position.
To install, set left and right dust boots to equal deflection.
Attach lower joint by aligning matching marks of pinion shaft
and pinion housing.
Tighten gear housing mounting bracket bolts.
SST862CB
DisassemblyNJST00231. Prior to disassembling, measure pinion rotating torque. Record
the pinion rotating torque as a reference.
Before measuring, disconnect gear housing tube and
drain fluid.
Use soft jaws when holding steering gear housing. Handle
gear housing carefully, as it is made of aluminum. Do not
grip cylinder in a vise.
2. Remove gear sub-assembly, O-ring and shim.
Gear sub-assembly cannot be disassembled. If it is faulty,
replace with a new one.
