Brake Caliper Component Removal Note

1. Suspend the brake calliper component using a cable or equivalent.
2. Temporarily tighten the wheel nut to prevent the disc plate from falling off.

Scheme 12

Scheme 13

1. Insert a tire lever or equivalent between the rear differential and differential side outer ring, and remove the rear drive shaft. CAUTION: The sharp edges of the drive shaft can slice or puncture the oil seal. Be careful not to damage the oil seal when removing the drive shaft from the differential.
2. Pull the rear drive shaft and rear knuckle component to the outer side, and detach the rear drive shaft from the rear differential.
3. To hold the rear drive shaft and rear knuckle component, install the rear lateral link (upper) to the rear knuckle temporarily after disconnecting the rear drive shaft.

Scheme 14

1. Support the transmission using a jack.
2. Support the rear differential using a jack.
3. Remove the power plant frame.

Scheme 15

1. Support the rear differential using a jack.
2. Remove the differential mounting installation bolts.
3. Lower the jack slowly and remove the rear differential.

Scheme 21

1. Support the rear differential using a jack.
2. Temporarily tighten the differential mounting installation bolts.
3. Install the power plant frame.
4. Install the plate.
5. Temporarily tighten the bolts and nuts as shown in the figure.
6. Tighten the nut B until the power plant frame is seated in the rear differential.
7. Install the heat insulator, TWC, middle pipe, main silencer and front tunnel member. (See «TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [P66M-D]»(ref-367635-S07700204162010072700000) .), (See «AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL]»(ref-367646-S25847343162010072700000) .), (See «AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL]»(ref-367646-S25847343162010072700000) .), (See «EXHAUST SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP]»(ref-367625-S05852593282010072700000) .)
8. Raise the power plant frame front end (transmission side) or transmission using a jack so that dimension A (between power plant frame lower surface and front tunnel member lower surface) shown in the figure is within the adjustment value. Adjustment dimension A 55-57 mm {2.17-2.24 in} NOTE: When raising the power plant frame without a transmission jack, use bolts (M12x1 .25) with a thread length of 55 mm {2.17 in} or more. Tighten the bolts from the underside of the front tunnel member as shown in the figure and raise the power plant frame. When using bolts, the underside of the power plant frame could be damaged. Affix tape to the underside of the frame to prevent damage. If there is the possibility of age-related bending/deterioration of the mount, adjust dimension A to approx. 15 mm {0.59 in} higher than the adjustment value to facilitate obtaining the specification.
9. Tighten the bolts and nuts on the rear differential side in the order shown in the figure. TIGHTENING TORQUE SPECIFICATION Step Bolt, nut Tightening torque (N.m {kg.m, ft.lb} 1 A 126.0-154.0 {12.85-15.70, 93.0-113.5} 2 B 126.0-154.0 {12.85-15.70, 93.0-113.5} 3 C 126.0-154.0 {12.85-15.70, 93.0-113.5} 4 F 74.5-93.2 {7.60-9.50, 55.0-68.7}
10. Tighten the bolts and nuts on the transmission side as shown in the figure. Tightening torque 126.0-154.0 N.m {12.9-15.7 kg.m, 93.0- 113.5 ft.lb}
11. Verify that dimension A is within the specification with the transmission jack and the adjustment bolt removed. If not within the specification, adjust dimension A again. Standard dimension A 48.4-56.4 mm {1.91-2.22 in}
12. Temporarily loosen the differential mount installation bolts, straighten the differential mounting bracket bushings, and then tighten the differential mounting installation bolts again to the specified torque. CAUTION: Never support the rear differential using a jack when tightening the differential mounting installation bolts. Otherwise, the differential mounting bracket bushings will twist and cause an abnormal noise while the vehicle is moving. Tightening torque 74.5-105.0 N.m {7.60-10.70 kg.m, 55.0-77.44 ft.lb} Rear Drive Shaft, Rear Knuckle Component Installation Note Install a new drive shaft clip to the clip groove at the top of the rear drive shaft with the clip opening facing upward and the clip width within the specification. Standard 32 mm {1.3 in} After installing the clip, measure the outer diametric if it exceeds the specification, reinstall a new clip. Apply differential oil to the differential oil seal lip. CAUTION: The sharp edges of the rear drive shaft can slice or puncture the oil seal Be careful not to damage the oil seal when installing the rear drive shaft from the rear differential. Insert the rear drive shaft into the rear differential with the clip opening facing upward. After installation, verify that the rear drive shaft is securely held by the clip by pulling the outer ring on the differential side towards the axle.
