Wheel (with Tire) Removal and InstallationS6RW0D2406003
Removal
CAUTION!
Never use heat to loosen tight wheel because
the application of heat to wheel causes the
wheel life shorter and the wheel bearing
damage.

1) Loosen wheel nuts by approximately 180° (half a
rotation).
2) Hoist vehicle.
3) Make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways.
4) Remove wheel nuts except one.
5) Support the wheel and/or tire not to drop the wheel
and then remove the nut left with the wheel.
Installation
For installation, reverse removal procedure, noting the
following.
• Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to
specified torque to avoid bending wheel or brake disc
or drum as shown in the figure.
NOTE
Before installing wheels, remove any build-
up of corrosion on wheel mounting surface
and brake disc or drum mounting surface by
scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels
without good metal-to-metal contact at
mounting surfaces can cause wheel bolts to
loosen, which can later allow a wheel to
come off while vehicle is moving.

Tire Mounting and DismountingS6RW0D2406004
WARNING!
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead
may break when bead snaps over rim’s safety
hump and cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed specified pressure when
inflating. If specified pressure will not seat
beads, deflate, re-lubricate and reinflate.
Over inflation may cause bead to break and
cause serious personal injury.

Use a tire changing machine to mount or dismount tires.
Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Do not
use hand tools or tire irons alone to change tires as they
may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or
coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and
light rust. Before mounting or dismounting a tire, bead
area should be well lubricated with approved tire
lubricant.
After mounting, inflate 330 kPa (47.9 psi) pressure so
that beads are completely seated. Then adjust pressure
to specified shown in the tire placard.
Tire RepairS6RW0D2406005
There are many different materials and techniques on
the market to repair tires. As not all of these work on all
types of tires, tire manufacturers have published detailed
instructions on how and when to repair tires. These
instructions can be obtained from each tire
manufacturer.

General Description
Front Drive Shaft ConstructionS6RW0D3111001
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left side drive shaft assemblies. For A/T
vehicle, a tripod type constant velocity joint is used on the differential side and center shaft side. For M/T vehicle, a
double offset type constant velocity joint (DOJ) is used on the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft
can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset joint (DOJ) in the extension/contraction direction.

10) Remove center bearing support bolts (3) and remove
center bearing support (2) with center shaft (1) from
differential side gear, if equipped.
Installation
CAUTION!
• Be careful not to damage oil seals and
boots when installing drive shaft.
• Do not hit joint boot with hammer.
Inserting joint only by hands is allowed.
• Make sure that differential side joint is
inserted fully and its snap ring is seated as
it was.

Install drive shaft assembly by reversing removal
procedure and noting the following points.
• Tighten each bolt and nut to the specified torque
referring to “Front Drive Shaft Assembly Components
Location”.
• Tighten brake hose mounting bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Brake hose mounting bolt: 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m,

• Fill transaxle with oil as specified referring to “Manual
Transaxle Oil Change in Section 5B” or “A/T Fluid
Change in Section 5A” and “Transfer Oil Change in
Section 3C” (4WD model).
• Check toe setting referring to “Front Wheel Alignment
Inspection and Adjustment in Section 2B” and adjust
as required.
Front Drive Shaft Disassembly and ReassemblyS6RW0D3116004
Disassembly
For DOJ type
CAUTION!
Disassembly of wheel side joint is not
allowed. If any noise or damage exists in it,
replace it as assembly.

1) Remove differential side (or center shaft side) boot
big band (1) as follows.
• For boot big band without joint [A]:
Remove boot big band by tapping boot and band
with plastic hammer. If it is hard to remove boot
big band, cut it using a nipper or an iron saw with
care not to damage joint housing.
• For boot big band with joint [B]:
Draw hooks of boot big band together and remove
band.3

1) Fill master cylinder reservoir with specified brake
fluid and keep at least one-half full of fluid during
bleeding operation.
Brake fluid
: Refer to reservoir cap
2) Remove bleeder plug cap. Attach a vinyl tube to
bleeder plug, and insert the other end into container.
3) Depress brake pedal several times, and then while
holding it depressed, loosen bleeder plug about one-
third to one-half turn.
4) When fluid pressure in cylinder is almost depleted,
retighten bleeder plug.
5) Repeat this operation until there are no more air
bubbles in hydraulic line.
6) When bubbles stop, depress and hold brake pedal
and tighten bleeder plug.
Tightening torque
Front brake caliper bleeder plug: 9 N·m (0.9 kgf-
m, 6.5 lb-ft)
Rear wheel cylinder bleeder plug: 8 N·m (0.8
kgf-m, 6.0 lb-ft)
7) Then attach bleeder plug cap.
8) After completing bleeding operation, apply fluid
pressure to pipe line and check for leakage.
9) Replenish fluid into reservoir up to specified level
referring to “Brake Fluid Level Inspection”.
10) Check brake pedal for sponginess. If found spongy,
repeat entire procedure of bleeding.
