(c) Install secondary (yellow) retaining clip over
wheel speed sensor head and engage the tabs on
each side.
(15) Install the park brake cable into its mounting
hole in the adapter. Be sure all the locking tabs
on the park brake cable retainer are expanded
out to ensure the cable will not pull out of the
adapter. (16) Install the end of the park brake cable on the
park brake actuator lever (Fig. 121). (17) Attach park brake cable to adapter using
mounting bolt. (18) Remove the locking pliers (Fig. 117) from the
front park brake cable. (19) Adjust the park brake drum-in-hat brake
shoes. (Refer t o 5 - BRAKES/PARKING BRAKE/
SHOES - ADJUSTMENTS). (20) Install the rotor on the hub/bearing.
(21) Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over
rotor and onto the adapter using the reverse proce-
dure for removal (Fig. 119).
CAUTION: When installing guide pin bolts extreme
caution should be taken not to crossthread the cal-
iper guide pin bolts.
(22) Install the caliper guide pin bolts (Fig. 118).
Tighten the guide pin bolts to a torque of 35 N´m (26
ft. lbs.). (23) AWD only - Clean all foreign material off the
threads of the outer C/V joint stub shaft. Install the
washer and hub nut (Fig. 116) on the stub shaft of
the outer C/V joint. (24) AWD only - Set the parking brake.
(25) AWD only - Tighten the hub nut to a torque of
244 N´m (180 ft. lbs.). (26) AWD only - Install the spring washer (Fig.
115) on the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint. (27) AWD only - Install the nut retainer and cotter
pin (Fig. 114) on the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint. (28) Install the wheel and tire assembly. Tighten
the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper sequence
until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Then
repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified
torque of 135 N´m (100 ft. lbs.). (29) Lower vehicle.
(30) Fully apply and release the park brake pedal
one time. This will seat and correctly adjust the park
brake cables.
CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump the brake
pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm
brake pedal to adequately stop vehicle.
(31) Road test the vehicle and make several stops
to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoe linings.ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT - PARKING BRAKE SHOES
CAUTION: Before adjusting the park brake shoes be
sure that the park brake pedal is in the fully
released position. If park brake pedal is not in the
fully released position, the park brake shoes can
not be accurately adjusted.
(1) Raise vehicle.
(2) Remove tire and wheel.
(3) Remove disc brake caliper from caliper adapter
(Fig. 136). (Refer t o 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/ME-
CHANICAL/DISC BRAKE CALIPERS - REMOVAL).
(4) Remove rotor from hub/bearing.
NOTE: When measuring the brake drum diameter,
the diameter should be measured in the center of
the area in which the park brake shoes contact the
surface of the brake drum. (5) Using Brake Shoe Gauge, Special Tool C-3919,
or equivalent, accuratelymeasure the inside diam-
eter of the park brake drum portion of the rotor (Fig.
137). (6) Using a ruler that reads in 64th of an inch,
accurately read the measurement of the inside diam-
eter of the park brake drum from the special tool
(Fig. 138).

(7) Reduce the inside diameter measurement of
the brake drum that was taken using Special Tool
C-3919 by 1/64 of an inch. Reset Gauge, Brake Shoe,
Special Tool C-3919 or the equivalent used, so that
the outside measurement jaws are set to the reduced
measurement (Fig. 139). (8) Place Gauge, Brake Shoe, Special Tool C-3919,
or equivalent over the park brake shoes. The special
tool must be located diagonally across at the top of
one shoe and bottom of opposite shoe (widest point)
of the park brake shoes. (9) Using the star wheel adjuster, adjust the park
brake shoes until the lining on the park brake shoes
just touches the jaws on the special tool. (10) Repeat step 8 above and measure shoes in
both directions. (11) Install brake rotor on hub and bearing.
(12) Rotate rotor to verify that the park brake
shoes are not dragging on the brake drum. If park
brake shoes are dragging, remove rotor and back off
star wheel adjuster one notch and recheck for brake
shoe drag against drum. Continue with the previous
step until brake shoes are not dragging on brake
drum. (13) Install disc brake caliper on caliper adapter
(Fig. 136). (Refer t o 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/ME-
CHANICAL/DISC BRAKE CALIPERS - INSTALLA-
TION). (14) Install wheel and tire.
(15) Tighten the wheel mounting nuts in the
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half the
specified torque. Then repeat the tightening sequence
to the full specified torque of 135 N´m (100 ft. lbs.). (16) Lower vehicle.
(17) Apply and release the park brake pedal one
time. This will seat and correctly adjust the park
brake cables.
CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump brake
pedal several times to ensure the vehicle has a firm
enough pedal to stop the vehicle.
(18) Road test the vehicle to ensure proper func-
tion of the vehicle's brake system.

DESCRIPTION
CLUTCH COMPONENTS
Models equipped with a 2.4L Gas engine utilize a
modular clutch assembly (Fig. 1). The modular clutch
consists of a single, dry-type clutch disc, a diaphragm
style clutch cover, and an integrated flywheel. The
clutch cover (pressure plate) is riveted to the fly-
wheel, and therefore can only be serviced as an
assembly.
Models equipped with the 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine
utilize a conventional clutch system (Fig. 2). This
system consists of a flywheel, clutch disc, and clutch
cover (pressure plate), which is fastened to the fly-
wheel, capturing the clutch disc within. Each compo-
nent is individually serviceable, however it ishighly
recommended that the clutch cover and disc be
replaced as a set.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRIVE PLATE
MISALIGNMENT
Common causes of misalignment are:
²Heat warping
²Mounting drive plate on a dirty crankshaft
flange
²Incorrect bolt tightening
²Improper seating on the crankshaft shoulder
²Loose crankshaft bolts
Clean the crankshaft flange before mounting the
drive plate. Dirt and grease on the flange surface
may misalign the flywheel, causing excessive runout.
Use new bolts when mounting drive plate to crank-
shaft. Tighten drive plate bolts to specified torque
only. Over-tightening can distort the drive plate hub
causing excessive runout.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CLUTCH COVER
AND DISC RUNOUT
Check condition of the clutch cover before installa-
tion. A warped cover or diaphragm spring will cause
grab and/or incomplete release or engagement. Use
care when handling the clutch assembly. Impact can
distort the cover, diaphragm spring, and release fin-
gers.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CLUTCH CHATTER
COMPLAINTS
For all clutch chatter complaints, perform the fol-
lowing:
(1) Check for loose, misaligned, or broken engine
and transmission mounts. If present, they should be
corrected at this time. Test vehicle for chatter. If
chatter is gone, there is no need to go any further.
(2) If chatter persists, check hydraulic clutch
release system is functioning properly.
(3) Check for loose connections in drivetrain. Cor-
rect any problems and determine if clutch chatter
complaints have been satisfied. If not:
(a) Remove transaxle.
(b) Check to see if the release bearing is sticky
or binding. Replace bearing, if needed.
(c) Check linkage for excessive wear on the pivot
stud and fork fingers. Replace all worn parts.
(d) Check clutch assembly for contamination
(dirt, oil). Replace clutch assembly, if required.
(e) Check to see if the clutch disc hub splines
are damaged. Replace with new clutch assembly, if
necessary.
(f) Check input shaft splines for damage.
Replace, if necessary.
(g) Check for uneven wear on clutch fingers.
(h) Check for broken clutch cover diaphragm
spring fingers. Replace with new clutch assembly,
if necessary.
