(a) Disconnect the drive shaft (see page DS-69).
3. REMOVE REAR DISC BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
LH (See page BR-55)

5. CHECK BEARING BACKLASH AND AXLE HUB
DEVIATION
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash near
the center of the axle hub.
Maximum backlash:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the backlash is greater than the maximum,
replace the axle hub.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10
mm (0.39 in.) inside the outer edge of the disc.
Maximum deviation:
0.08 mm (0.0031 in.) for 2WD
0.06 mm (0.0024 in.) for 4WD
NOTICE:
If the runout exceeds the maximum, change the
installation positions of the rear disc and axle
hub so that the runout will be as low as
possible. If the runout exceeds the maximum
even when the installation positions are
changed, shave the rear disc. If the rear disc
needs to be shaved to less than the minimum,
replace the rear disc. If the rear disc is replaced,
perform the runout inspection again. If the
runout still exceeds the maximum, replace the
hub and bearing with a new one.
