On-vehicle Service
8. If the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace
the hydraulic unit.
9. Connect the hydraulic unit and the hydraulic unit hose
assembly, and connect the torque transfer differential and
hydraulic unit hose assembly, tighten the flare nut in
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 34 ± 5 N·m (Thread is not lubricated)
10. Supply the specified fluid up to the MAX level of the
oil reservoir, and bleed.
Specified fluid: ATF-SP III
Quantity: 1 L

WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECK

1. Remove the brake caliper and brake disc.
2. Check the bearing's axial play.
Place a dial gauge against the hub surface; then move
the hub in the axial direction and check whether or not
there is axial play.
Limit: 0.05 mm
3. If the axial play exceeds the limit, the castle nut should
be tightened to the specified torque 225 ± 25 N·m and
check the axial play again.
4. Replace the rear hub assembly if an adjustment cannot
be made to within the limit.
WHEEL BEARING ROTARY-SLIDING
RESISTANCE CHECK
1. Remove the brake caliper and brake disc.
2. After turning the hub a few times to seat the bearing,
wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by
pulling at a 90_ angle with a spring balance. Measure
to determine whether or not the rotary-sliding resistance
of the rear hub is at the limit value.
Limit: 22 N or less
26 ± 4 N·m (Thread is lubricated)
