ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:

To prevent any problem caused by washing solution, do
not wash joint boots. Degreasing of those parts with cloth
is allowed.

For M / T vehicle with H25 engine
To ensure full performance of joint as designed, be sure
to distinguish between two types of grease in repair set
and apply specified volume to respective joint. i.e. yellow
grease to wheel side joint and black one to differential
side.

Bend each boot band against forward rotation.

Do not squeeze or distort boot when fastening it with
bands.
Distorted boot caused by squeezing air may reduce its du-
rability.
1) Fully apply joint grease to wheel side joint.
Use joint grease in the tube included in spare part.
2) Fit wheel side boot on shaft.
Fill up inside of boot with joint grease of about 90 gram.
Before fixing boot band, insert screwdriver into boot on joint side
and allow air to enter boot so that air pressure in boot becomes
the same as atmospheric pressure.
3) Fixing boot band.
4) Install boot onto drive shaft till its small diameter side fits to shaft
groove and fix there with boot band.
5) Install cage to shaft.
CAUTION:
Install cage directing smaller outside diameter side to
shaft end.
6) Install circlip by using snap ring plier.

DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS TABLE
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
Abnormal noise
Loose universal joint bolt.

Spider bearing worn out or stuck.

Wear spider.Tighten universal joint bolt.
Replace.
Replace propeller shaft.
Vibration
Deformed propeller shaft.Replace.
PROPELLER SHAFT JOINT CHECK
If universal joints are suspected of producing chattering or rattling
noise, inspect them for wear. Check to see if cross spider rattles in
yokes or if splines are worn down and replace defective propeller
shaft with new one.
Noise coming from universal joint can be easily distinguished from
other noises because rhythm of chattering or rattling is in step with
cruising speed. Noise is pronounced particularly on standing start
or in coasting condition (when braking effect of engine is showing
in the drive line).

1. Stop light switch
BRAKES 5-9
BRAKE PEDAL FREE HEIGHT CHECK
Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s) so as to
measure brake pedal free height between pedal face and asphalt
sheet installed on dash panel.
Brake pedal free height ªaº from asphalt sheet:
208 ± 218 mm (8.19 ± 8.58 in.)
If the measurement is not within the specification, check the posi-
tion of booster push rod clevis and / or stop light switch according
to the instruction shown in this section.
The free height varies depending on installation position of booster
push rod clevis and stop light switch.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment should be made as follows when installing switch. Pull
up brake pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust switch
position so that clearance between end of thread and brake pedal
return cushion (shown as ªbº in figure).
Then tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Clearance ªbº: 1.5 ± 2.0 mm (0.06 ± 0.08 in.)
Tightening Torque
(b): 7.5 N
.m (0.75 kg-m, 5.5 lb-ft)
EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL CHECK
1) Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s).
2) Start engine.
3) Depress brake pedal a few times.
4) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs)
load, measure pedal to asphalt sheet clearance ªcº.
Clearance ªcº: over 115 mm (4.53 in.)
5) If clearance ªcº is less than specification, the most possible
cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond limit or air
is in lines.
Should clearance ªcº remain less than specification even after
replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of system, other pos-
sible but infrequent cause is malfunction of rear brake shoe ad-
justers or booster push rod length out of adjustment.

6) Upon completion of fluid pressure test, bleed brake system and
perform brake test.
BOOSTER OPERATION CHECK
There are two ways to perform this inspection, with and without a
tester. Ordinarily, it is possible to roughly determine its condition
without using a tester.
NOTE:
For this check, make sure that no air is in hydraulic line.
INSPECTION WITHOUT TESTER
Check Air Tightness
1) Start engine.
2) Stop engine after running for 1 to 2 minutes.
3) Depress brake pedal several times with the same load as in ordi-
nary braking and observe pedal travel. If pedal goes down deep
the first time but its travel decreases as it is depressed the se-
cond and more times, air tightness is obtained.
4) If pedal travel doesn't change, air tightness isn't obtained.
NOTE:
If defective, inspect vacuum lines and sealing parts, and re-
place any faulty part.
When this has been done, repeat the entire test.

Check Operation
1) With engine stopped, depress brake pedal several times with
the same load and make sure that pedal travel doesn't change.
2) Start engine while depressing brake pedal. If pedal travel in-
creases a little, operation is satisfactory. But no change in pedal
travel indicates malfunction.
Check Air Tightness Under Load
1) With engine running, depress brake pedal. Then stop engine
while holding brake pedal depressed.
2) Hold brake pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If pedal height does
not change, condition is good. But it isn't if pedal rises.

5A-2 BRAKES PIPE / HOSE / MASTER CYLINDER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
The master cylinder has two pistons and three piston cups. Its hydraulic pressure is produced in the primary (ªaº
in the figure below) and secondary (ªbº) chambers. The hydraulic pressure produced in the primary chamber (ªaº)
acts on the front (for vehicle without ABS, rear) wheel brakes.
Also, the hydraulic pressure produced in the secondary chamber (ªbº) acts on the rear (for vehicle without ABS,
front) wheel brakes.
NOTE:
Replace all components included in repair kits to service this master cylinder. Lubricate rubber parts with
clean, fresh brake fluid to ease assembly. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rub-
ber components may result. If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the
brake system.
The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
BOOSTER ASSEMBLY
The booster is located between the master cylinder and the brake pedal. It is so designed that the force created
when the brake pedal is depressed is mechanically increased combined with the engine vacuum.
The booster has two diaphragms of
ù7.5 in. (191 mm) effective diameter.
CAUTION:

Never disassemble brake booster assembly. If it is found faulty, replace it with new assembly.

The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners. If any hydraulic component is re-
moved or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system.
