INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Left Side

• Always replace differential side oil seal with new one when installing drive shaft. Refer to

TM-23, "Removal

and Installation"

• Place the protector (A) [SST:KV38107900 ( — )] onto transaxle

assembly to prevent damage to the differential side oil seal while

inserting drive shaft. Slide drive shaft sliding joint and tap with a

hammer to install securely.

CAUTION:

• Check that circular clip is completely engaged.

• Never reuse circular clip.

• Never reuse differential side oil seal.

• Clean the matching surface of wheel hub lock nut and wheel hub assembly.

CAUTION:

Never apply lubricating oil to these matching surface.

• Clean the matching surface of drive shaft and wheel hub assembly.

And then apply paste [service parts (440037S000)] to surface (A)

of joint sub-assembly of drive shaft.

CAUTION:

Apply paste to cover entire flat surface of joint sub-assembly

of drive shaft.

• Use the following torque range for tightening the wheel hub lock nut.

CAUTION:

• Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use the tightening torque range for the wheel

hub lock nut.

• Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut. Never use a power tool.

• Never reuse wheel hub lock nut.

NOTE:

Wheel hub lock nut tightening torque does not over torque for avoiding axle noise, and does not less than

torque for avoiding looseness.

• Align the matching marks that have been made during removal when reusing the disc rotor.

• When installing a cotter pin (1) and adjusting cap (2), securely

bend the basal portion to prevent rattles.

CAUTION:

Never reuse cotter pin.

• Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing

wheel hub assembly and steering knuckle.

• Perform inspection after installation. Refer to

FAX-96, "2WD : Inspection"

Right Side

• Always replace differential side oil seal with new one when installing drive shaft. Refer to

TM-23, "Removal

and Installation"

• Install support bearing bracket (1) in following procedure,

- Temporarily tighten mounting bolts (A), (B), (C), then tighten them

to specified torque.

- Set plate (2) so that notch (D) becomes upper side. Temporarily

tighten mounting bolts (E), (F), then tighten them to specified

torque.

CAUTION:

Never reuse plate.

• Place the protector (A) [SST:KV38107900 ( — )] onto transaxle

assembly to prevent damage to the differential side oil seal while

inserting drive shaft. Slide drive shaft sliding joint and tap with a

hammer to install securely.

CAUTION:

Never reuse differential oil seal.

• To install mounting nuts of the heat insulator (1), temporarily

tighten them in numerical order shown in the figure and tighten

them to the specified torque.

• Clean the matching surface of wheel hub lock nut and wheel hub assembly.

CAUTION:

Never apply lubricating oil to these matching surface.
