3E-8 WHEELS AND TIRES
INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear, damage or any other abnormal conditions are found
through inspection.
Visual Check
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear, damage or other
abnormal conditions.
Measure Wheel Runout

Balancing Wheel and Tire
On-vehicle Balancing
On-Vehicle balancing methods very with equipment and tool
manufacturers. Be sure to follow each manufacturer’s
instructions during balancing operation.
Off- vehicle Balancing
Most electronic off-vehicle balancers are more accurate than
the on-vehicle spin balancers. They are easy to use and give a
dynamic balance. Although they do not correct for drum or
disc unbalance (as on-vehicle spin balancing does), they are
very accurate.

7D-20 TRANSFER CASE
Inspection and Repair
1.
Make the necessary repair or parts replacement if
wear, damage or any other abnormal conditions are
found during inspection.
2.
Wash all parts thoroughly in clean solvent. Be sure
all old lubricant, metallic particles, dirt, or foreign
material are removed from the surfaces of every
part. Apply compressed air to each oil feed port and
channel in each case half to remove any
obstructions or cleaning solvent residue.
Inspection and Repair (Transfer
Case Assembly)
When wear, damage, or any other defects are observed
during the inspection, the part or parts must be repaired
or replaced. Wash all the parts with clean detergent,
and check that old oil, metallic particles, dirt, or foreign
materials are completely removed. Blow the air into oil
holes and grooves to remove foreign materials or
residual detergent.
Chain
Check whether the face that contacts the sprocket is
free from excessive wear or damage. If defects are
observed, replace the part.
If the chain interference mark is found on the inside
wall of the transfer cover or the chain is so slack that
a skipped engagement occurs between the chain
and sprocket, replace the chain.
Sprocket
Check whether the sprocket tooth surface is
excessively worn or damaged, and there is evidence
of burrs, chipping, wear, or damage on the gear
spline. Remove minor flaws or scratches with oil
stone. If excessive wear or damage is observed,
replace the part.
If excessive wear or damage is observed on the
sprocket inside sliding surface, replace the part.
Gear
Check whether the gear tooth surface is excessively
worn or damaged, and there is evidence of burrs,
chipping, wear, or damage on the gear spline.
Remove minor flaws or scratches with oil stone. I
f
excessive wear or damage is observed, replace the
part.
2-4 and Neutral Switch
Check the continuity of 2-4 and Neutral switch.
If defects are observed, replace the 4H and 4L
switch.

Oil Pump
Remove foreign materials from the strainer. If the
strainer is damaged, replace it.
If the area into which the shaft is inserted is excessively
worn or damaged, replace the oil pump assembly.
Clutch Hub Spline Play
Set a dial indicator to the clutch hub to be measured.
Move the clutch hub as far as possible to both the
right and the left.
Note the dial indicator reading.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit,
the clutch hub must be replaced.
Clutch hub spline play
Standard : 0 – 0.1 mm (0 – 0.004 in)
Limit : 0.2 mm (0.008 in)

Bearings
1.
Inspect the condition of all the needles and ball
bearings. Wash bearings thoroughly in a cleaning
solvent. Apply compressed air to the bearings.
NOTE: Do not allow the bearings to spin. Turn them
slowly by hand. Spinning bearings may damage the
rollers.
2.
Lubricate the bearings with a light oil and check them
for roughness by slowly turning the race by hand.
Ball Bearing Play
1.
Use a dial indicator to measure the ball bearing play.
2.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the
ball bearing must be replaced.
Limit : 0.2 mm (0.008 in)

Synchronizers
The synchronizer hubs and sliding sleeves are a
selected assembly and should be kept together as
originally assembled.
Clean synchronizer components with clean solvent and
air dry.
Inspect the components for the following:
Teeth for wear, scuffs, nicks, burrs or breaks.
Keys and springs for wear, cracks or distortion,
replace if these conditions are present.
If scuffed, nicked or burred conditions cannot be
corrected with a soft stone or crocus cloth, replace
the component.
