Fitting Adjustment
INFOID:0000000003533112
GAP ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
If any gap or height difference between glass lid assembly and roof panel is found, check the fit and adjust as
follows:
1. Open sunshade assembly.
2. Loosen glass lid assembly screws (2 each on left and right sides), then tilt glass lid assembly down.
3. Manually adjust glass lid assembly from outside of vehicle so it resembles "A-A" as shown in the figure.
4. After adjusting glass lid assembly, tilt up and tighten screws.
NOTE:
First tighten left front screw then right rear to prevent movement while tightening the remaining screws.
5. Tilt glass lid assembly up and down several times to check that it moves smoothly.
HEIGHT DIFFERENCE ADJUSTMENT
If an excessive height difference between glass lid assembly and roof panel is found, adjust in the following
manner:
1. Remove headlining. Refer to EI-37
.
2. Loosen sunroof frame assembly nuts and sunroof bracket bolts.
3. Add shims until gap is within specification "A-A".
NOTE:
Temporarily snug nuts and bolts to prevent movement between each adjustment.
4. Tilt glass lid assembly up and down several times to check that it moves and seals properly.
5. Tighten sunroof frame assembly nuts and sunroof bracket bolts.
NOTE:
First tighten left front then right rear sunroof frame assembly to prevent uneven torque while tightening
remaining sunroof bracket bolts.
6. Install headlining. Refer to EI-37
.

PRECAUTIONS
SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Servicing Rear Final DriveINFOID:0000000003532597
• Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand the symptoms well. Perform correct and systematic
operations.
• Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. When matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
• Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, a dust proof area is recommended.
• Before disassembly, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
• Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
• Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent the entering of lint.
• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and abnormal wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
• Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the unit is disassembled.
• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
• Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
• When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mating surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and
foreign materials from the application and mating surfaces.
• In principle, tighten nuts or bolts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If a
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
• During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque.
• Add new differential gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-purpose grease, as specified.

FRONT OIL SEAL
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil seal.
Then drive the new front oil seal in evenly until it becomes flush
with the gear carrier using Tool.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse front oil seal.
• Do not incline the new front oil seal when installing.
• Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil
seal.
2. Install the companion flange to the drive pinion while aligning the matching marks.
3. Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion and the
seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut. Then adjust the
drive pinion lock nut tightening torque using Tool A, and check
the total preload torque using Tool B.
• The total preload torque should be within the total preload
torque specification. When not replacing the collapsible
spacer, it should also be equal to the measurement taken dur-
ing removal plus an additional 0.56 N·m (0.06 Kg-m, 5 in-lb).
• If the total preload torque is low, tighten the drive pinion lock
nut in 6.8 N·m (0.69 Kg-m, 5ft-lb) increments until the total pre-
load torque is met.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut.
• Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion
and the seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut.
• Adjust the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque to the
lower limit first. Do not exceed the drive pinion lock nut
specified torque. Refer to RFD-15, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
• Do not loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the total preload torque. If the total preload torque
exceeds the specifications, replace the collapsible spacer and tighten it again to adjust. Refer to
RFD-15, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
• After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion malfunction, and other malfunctions.
4. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Check the differential gear oil level after installation. Refer to RFD-8, "
Checking Differential Gear
Oil". Tool number : ST15310000 ( — )
