HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(a) This manual is made in accordance with SAE J2008.
(b) Generally, repair operations can be separated in the following 3 main processes:
1. Diagnosis
2. Removing/Installing, Replacing, Disassembling/Reassembling, Checking and Adjusting
3. Final Inspection
(c) This manual explains the 1st process of ºDiagnosisº (found in the ºDiagnosticsº section), the 2nd
pro-
cess of ºRemoving and Installing, Replacing, Disassembling, Installing and Checking, and Adjustingº,
but the 3rd process of ºFinal Inspectionº is omitted.
(d) The following essential operations are not written in this manual. However, these operations must be
performed in actual situations.
(1) Operations with a jack or lift
(2) Cleaning of a removed part when necessary
(3) Visual check
2. INDEX
(a) An alphabetical INDEX section is provided at the end of the book as a reference to help you find the
item to be repaired.
3. PREPARATION
(a) Use of special service tools (SST) and special service materials (SSM) may be required, depending
on the repair situation. Be sure to use SST and SSM when they are required and follow the working
procedure properly. A list of SST and SSM is in the Preparation section of this manual.
4. REPAIR PROCEDURES
(a) Component drawing is placed under the title where necessary.
(b) Non±reusable parts, grease application area, precoated parts and tightening torque are specified in
the component drawings.
