Brake Fluid InspectionS7RS0B0206035
1) Check around master cylinder and reservoir for fluid leakage. If found leaky, correct.
2) Check fluid level. If fluid level is lower than the minimum level of
reservoir, refilling is necessary. Fill reservoir with
specified brake fluid.
For the details, refer to “Brake Fluid Level Inspection
in Section 4A”.
CAUTION!
Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-
filled with brake fluid indicated on reservoir
tank cap, do not use or mix different type of
fluid when refilling; otherwise serious
damage will occur.
Do not use old or used brake fluid, or any
fluid from an unsealed container.

Brake fluid
Refer to reservoir cap of brake master cylinder.
Brake Fluid ReplacementS7RS0B0206017
Change brake fluid as follows.
Drain existing fluid from brake system completely, fill
system with specified fluid and carry out air purge
operation.
For air purging procedure, refer to“Air Bleeding of Brake
System in Section 4A”.
Brake Lever and Cable InspectionS7RS0B0206018
1) Inspect brake cable for damage and smooth movement.
Replace cable if it is in deteriorated condition. 2) Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or wear. If
any damage or wear is found, replace parking lever.
3) Check parking brake lever for proper operation and stroke, and adjust it if necessary.
For checking and adjusting procedures, refer to
“Parking Brake Inspection and Adjustment in Section
4D”.

Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
• Tire squeal on turns
• Hard Steering
• Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread
• Tire rim bruises and rupture
• Tire cord breakage
• High tire temperature
• Reduced handling
• High fuel consumption
Replacement Tires
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment
type tire should be used. Refer to the Tire Placard.
Replacement tires should be of the same size, load
range and construction as those originally on the vehicle.
Use of any other size or type tire may affect ride,
handling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance and tire or snow chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on
the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire having the most tread, to
equalize braking traction.
WARNING!
Do not mix different types of tires on the
same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-
belted tires except in emergencies, because
handling may be seriously affected and may
result in loss of control.

The metric term for tire infl ation pressure is the kilo
pascal (kPa). Tire pressures is usually printed in both
kPa and kgf/cm
2 on the “Tire Placard”.
Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The chart, shown the table, converts commonly used
inflation pressures from kPa to kgf/cm
2 and psi.
Wheels DescriptionS7RS0B2401002
Wheel Maintenance
Wheel repairs that use welding, heating, or peening are
not approved. All damaged wheels should be replaced.
Replacement Wheels
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have
excessive lateral or radial runout, air leak through welds,
have elongated bolt holes, if lug wheel bolts won’t stay
tight, or if they are heavily rusted. Wheels with greater
runout than shown in the following may cause
objectional vibrations.
Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original
equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim with
offset and mounting configuration. A wheel of improper
size or type may affect wheel and bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance and tire clearance to body and
chassis.
How to Measure Wheel Runout
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use an
accurate dial indicator. The tire may be on or off the
wheel. The wheel should be installed to the wheel
balancer of the like for proper measurement.
Take measurements of both lateral runout “a” and radial
runout “b” at both inside an d outside of the rim flange.
With the dial indicator set in place securely, turn the
wheel one full revolution slowly and record every reading
of the indicator.
When the measured runout exceeds the specification
and correction by the balancer adjustment is impossible,
replace the wheel. If the reading is affected by welding,
paint or scratch, it should be ignored.
Lateral runout limit “a”
: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
Radial runout limit “b”
: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)

8) Disconnect front suspension control arm ball joint
stud from steering knuckle.
9) Pull out drive shaft joint as follows. • For differential sideUsing tire lever (1), pull out drive shaft joint (2) so
as to release snap ring fitting of joint spline at
differential side.
• For center shaft side Using plastic hammer (3), drive out drive shaft
joint (2) so as to release snap ring fitting of joint
spline at center shaft.
10) Remove drive shaft assembly. 11) Remove center bearing support bolts (3) and remove center bearing support (2) with center shaft (1) from
differential side gear. 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.
