On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000003532614
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component status (wear,
damage) are normal.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION
• Move wheel hub in the axial direction by hand. Make sure there is
no looseness of wheel bearing.
• Rotate wheel hub and make sure there is no unusual noise or
other irregular conditions. If there are any irregular conditions,
replace wheel hub and bearing assembly.
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000003532615
REMOVAL
1. Remove wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove engine under cover using power tool.
3. Without disassembling the hydraulic lines, remove caliper torque member bolts using power tool. Then
reposition brake caliper aside with wire. Refer to BR-19, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper and
Disc Rotor" .

WHEEL HUB
4. Put alignment mark on disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing
assembly, then remove disc rotor.
5. On 4WD model, remove cotter pin, then remove lock nut from drive shaft using power tool. Then remove
end of drive shaft from wheel hub and bearing assembly. Refer to FA X - 7 , "
Removal and Installation" .
6. Remove wheel sensor. Refer to BRC-56, "
Removal and Installation" .
• Inspect the wheel sensor O-ring, replace the wheel sensor assembly if damaged.
• Clean the wheel sensor hole and mounting surface with a suitable brake cleaner and clean lint-free
shop rag. Be careful that dirt and debris do not enter the axle bearing area.
• Apply a coat of suitable grease to the wheel sensor O-ring and mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Do not pull on the wheel sensor harness.
7. Remove wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts using power tool.
8. Remove splash guard and wheel hub and bearing assembly from steering knuckle.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check for deformity, cracks and damage on each part, replace if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Use new bolts when installing the wheel hub and bearing assembly.
• When installing disc rotor on wheel hub and bearing assembly,
position the disc rotor according to alignment mark.
(When not using the alignment mark, refer to BR-19, "
Removal
and Installation of Brake Caliper and Disc Rotor" .)
• When installing wheel and tire. Refer to WT-7, "
Rotation" .

Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003533860
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage or time intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance for Off-road Driving (4WD only)INFOID:0000000003533861
After driving the vehicle off-road through sand, mud, or water; more frequent maintenance may be required for
the following items:
Brake pads and rotors
Brake lines and hoses
Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
Steering linkage
Drive shafts
Engine air cleaner filter
In-cabin microfilters

one or more of the following driving conditions:
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures re-
maining below freezing.
• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi
or door-to-door delivery use.
• Driving in dusty conditions.

5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.18 oz) each or
below.
Wheel Balance (Maximum Allowable Imbalance)
• If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz), repeat installation procedures.
Tire RotationINFOID:0000000003533885
1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-28, "
Tire" .
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle
has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles), and also after a wheel
and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat tire.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksINFOID:0000000003533886
• Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir tank.
• If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.
• If the brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid is at the correct
level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking brake
switch.
CheckingBrake Line and CablesINFOID:0000000003533887
1. Check the brake lines and hoses for cracks, deterioration, and
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
CAUTION:
If brake fluid leaks are visible around the brake line joints,
retighten the joint, or replace damaged parts as necessary.
2. Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Checking Disc BrakeINFOID:0000000003533888
