4. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left rear of cylin-
der block.
5. Drain coolant and install reservoir tank, cylinder block drain
plug and radiator drain plug.
6. Fill radiator with water and warm up engine.
7. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
8. Repeat step 2 through step 7 two or three times.
9. Drain water.
ÐREFILLING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
10. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug, and cylinder block
drain plugs.
+Apply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
Cylinder block drain plug:
:34-44Nzm (3.5 - 4.5 kg-m, 25 - 33 ft-lb)
11. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with coolant up to the MAX level
and install radiator cap.
For coolant mixture ratio, refer to MA-11.
Coolant capacity (With reservoir tank):!(Imp qt)
RHD models
Without rear heater 11.8 (10-3/8)
With rear heater 12.9 (11-3/8)
LHD models
Without rear heater 11.6 (10-1/4)
With rear heater 12.7 (11-1/8)
Reservoir tank capacity (for MAX level):
1.2!(1-1/8 Imp qt)
Pour coolant through coolant ®ller neck slowly to allow air in
system to escape.
12. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
13. Run engine at 2,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.
+Repeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
14. Stop engine and cool it down.
+Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
15. Remove the radiator ®ller cap and check coolant level.
+If necessary, re®ll radiator up to ®ller neck with coolant.
16. Re®ll reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
17. Repeat step 12 through step 16 two or more times.
18. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant ¯ow while
running engine from idle up to 2,000 rpm with heater tempera-
ture control set at several positions between COOL and HOT.
+Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
19. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating
steps 12 through 16 until coolant level no longer drops.
+Clean excess coolant from engine.

Removal
1. Remove front and rear propeller shafts. Refer to PD section
(``Removal and Installation'', ``PROPELLER SHAFT'').
2. Remove clutch operating cylinder.
3. Remove exhaust front and rear tubes. Refer to FE section
(``EXHAUST SYSTEM'').
4. Disconnect vehicle speed sensor, back-up lamp switch, 4WD
switch and neutral position switch harness connector.
5. Remove center brake cable. Refer to BR section.
6. Remove shift lever of transmission. Refer to MT-12 (RS5R30A).
7. Remove transfer control lever. Refer to TF section (``Removal'',
``REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION'').
8. Support engine by placing a jack under oil pan.
+Do not place jack under the oil pan drain plug.
9. Remove transmission with transfer from engine.
WARNING:
Support Manual Transmission with transfer, while removing it.

Bleeding Hydraulic System
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Add ¯uid into oil tank to speci®ed level. Then, quickly turn steer-
ing wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering stop-
pers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until ¯uid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
+Incomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When
this happens, bleed air again.
a. Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Clicking noise in oil pump
c. Excessive buzzing in oil pump
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This is common
when the vehicle is stationary or while turning steering wheel
slowly. This does not affect performance or durability of the system.
Checking Steering Wheel Turning Force
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering ¯uid up to adequate operating tempera-
ture. [Make sure temperature of ¯uid is approximately 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).]
Tires need to be in¯ated to normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360É from the neutral position.
Steering wheel turning force:
39 N (4 kg, 9 lb) or less
Checking Hydraulic System
Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure.
1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve. Then bleed air. Refer to ``Bleed-
ing Hydraulic System'', ST-6.
2. Run engine at idle speed or 1,000 rpm.
Make sure ¯uid temperature in reservoir tank rises to 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).
WARNING:
Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is
started with shut-off valve closed, ¯uid pressure in the power
steering pump increases to maximum. This will raise ¯uid tem-
perature abnormally.
3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and right
positions with engine idling at 1,000 rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
Power steering pump maximum operating pressure:
8,140 - 8,728 kPa (81.4 - 87.3 bar, 83 - 89 kg/cm
2,
1,180 - 1,266 psi)
+If pressure reaches maximum operating pressure, system is
OK.
+If pressure increases above maximum operating pressure,
check power steering pump ¯ow control valve. Refer to ST-16.
