Disconnect the quick connector as follows:

Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the
tube.

If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:

The quick connector can be disconnected when the tabs
are completely depressed. Do not twist the quick connec-
tor more than necessary.

Do not use any tools to disconnect the quick connector.

Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the tube.

Prevent any acid liquids such as battery electrolyte, from
getting on the resin tube.

Do not bend or twist the resin tube during connection.

Do not remove the remaining retainer on the hard tube (or
the equivalent) except when the resin tube or the retainer
is replaced.

When the resin tube or hard tube, or the equivalent, is
replaced, also replace the retainer with a new one (white
colored retainer).

To keep the quick connector clean and to avoid damage
and contamination from foreign materials, cover the
quick connector with plastic bags or suitable material as
shown.

11. Remove the lock ring using Tool.
12. Remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assem-
bly.
CAUTION:

Do not bend the float arm during removal.

Avoid impacts such as dropping when handling the com-
ponents.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Connect the quick connector as follows:
–Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
–Align the connector with the pipe, then insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
–After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the con-
nection is secure by checking as follows:
–Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely
connected.
–Visually inspect the connector to make sure the two retainer tabs
are securely connected.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON but do not start engine, then check the fuel pipes and hose connections for
leaks while applying fuel pressure to the system.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle speed, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe
and hose connections.Tool number : — (J-46536)

Revision: August 20072004 QX56

Check with the manufacturer of your specific alignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to FSU-21,
"Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.

The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct.

This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.

Use the “Jacking Compensation” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.

See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER AND CASTER
1. Measure camber and caster of both the right and left wheels
with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to
specification.
2. If outside of the specified value, adjust camber and caster using
the adjusting bolts in the front lower link.
CAUTION:
After adjusting the camber then check the toe-in.
NOTE:
Camber changes about 3' (0.11°) with each graduation of one
adjusting bolt. Refer to table below for examples of lower link
adjusting bolt effect on camber and caster.
3. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification. Refer to FSU-5, "
Components" . Camber : Refer to FSU-20, "
Wheel Alignment
(Unladen*1 )" .
