3. Install brake hose to cylinder body and tighten union bolt to specification as necessary. Refer to BR-27,
"Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper washers.
Securely attach brake hose to protrusion on cylinder body.
4. Refill with new brake fluid and bleed air as necessary. Refer to BR-11, "
Bleeding Brake System" .
5. Install tires to the vehicle. Refer to WT-6, "
Rotation"
Disassembly and Assembly of Brake Caliper AssemblyEFS003PW
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove pads from cylinder body.
2. Remove sliding sleeve and boot from cylinder body body.
3. Place a wooden block as shown in the figure, and blow air from
union bolt mounting hole to remove piston and piston boot.
CAUTION:
Do not get your fingers caught in piston.
4. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, remove piston seal from cylin-
der body.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage cylinder body inner wall.
CALIPER INSPECTION
Cylinder Body
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid to clean. Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
Check inside surface of cylinder body for score, rust wear, damage or foreign materials. If any of
the above conditions are observed, replace cylinder body.
Minor damage from rust or foreign materials may be eliminated by polishing surface with a fine
emery paper. Replace cylinder body if necessary.
Torque Member
Check for wear, cracks, and damage. If damage or deformation is present, replace the affected part.
Piston
CAUTION:
Piston sliding surface is plated, do not polish with emery paper even if rust of foreign materials
are stuck to sliding surface.
Check piston for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of foreign materials. Replace if any of the
above conditions are observed.
Sliding Pin Bolts and Sliding Pin Boots
Make sure there is no wear, damage, or cracks in sliding sleeve and sliding sleeve boots, and if there are,
replace them.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
General PrecautionsEAS00148
Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without
proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to
properly ventilate the area before working with hazardous mate-
rials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working
on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.
Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.
Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.

ENGINE OIL
2004 QX56
5. Install Tools.
6. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80°C (175°F)]
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2
, psi)
CAUTION:
If the difference is extreme, check the oil passages and oil pump for leaks and blockages.
8. After the inspections, install the oil pressure sensor as follows:
a. Remove the old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure sensor and engine.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure sensor to the specification.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
ucts and Sealants" .
c. After warming up engine, make sure there is no leakage of engine oil with engine running.
Changing Engine OilEBS00I4K
WAR NIN G:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Remove engine front undercover using power tool.
2. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine compo-
nents. Refer to LU-7, "
OIL LEAKAGE" .
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Loosen oil filler cap, then remove drain plug.
5. Drain engine oil.
6. Install drain plug with new washer.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
7. Refill with new engine oil. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants" . Tool number : ST25051001 (J-25695-1)

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
boosterCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Keep the floor
mats away from the pedal.BR-6, "
Inspection and
Adjustment", BR-17,
"On-Vehicle Service"
Parking brakeCheck that the parking brake control has the proper travel and make sure that
the vehicle is held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is
applied.PB-3, "On-Vehicle Ser-
vice"
Automatic transmis-
sion “Park” mecha-
nismOn a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector
lever in the P position without applying the brakes. — ItemReference page
ItemReference page
Windshield washer
fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
—
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.MA-12
Radiator and hosesCheck the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation,
deterioration or loose connections.—
Brake fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoirsMA-27
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require
frequent checks of the battery fluid level.—
Engine drive beltMake sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.MA-12
Engine oil levelCheck the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turn-
ing off the engine.MA-16
Power steering fluid
level and linesCheck the level on the reservoir with the engine off. Check the lines for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.MA-29
Automatic transmis-
sion fluid levelCheck the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the
engine idling.MA-21
Exhaust systemMake sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate
the trouble and correct it.MA-21
UnderbodyThe underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate.—
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.—
