WARNING
• Be sure retaining ring is properly seated in its groove. If ring is not properly installed, the axle
assembly will separate from the transaxle and damage the axle assembly and other
components. Loss of vehicle control could result in severe personal injury or death.
12. Make sure the drain plug (22) is installed in the transaxle and tightened to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m). Fill the tran-
saxle, through the level indicator hole, with 22 ounces of SAE 30 API Class SE, SF, or SG oil (a higher
grade may also be used). Install and tighten the level indicator plug (21) to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m).

TRANSAXLE INSTALLATION

See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
1. If using a chain hoist, raise the vehicle and place transaxle in position on the jack stands. If using a floor
jack, lower the jack stands to their lowest settings and place the transaxle in position on the jack stands.
2. Align the center hole in the saddle of the transaxle with the pilot bolt in the leaf spring assembly.
3. Install the two U-bolts, jounce bumper mount and spacers, lock washers, and nuts. Tighten the nuts to
25 ft-lb (34 N·m). Tighten the U-bolt nuts so an equal amount of thread is visible on each leg of the bolt.
4. Install the motor. See Motor Installation, Section 15, Page 15-12.
5. If using a chain hoist, lower the vehicle while guiding the leaf springs into the rear spring shackles. If using
a floor jack, raise the differential while guiding the leaf springs into the rear spring shackles. Then raise
the jack stands to support the transaxle.
6. Connect the four motor wires. Tighten the retaining nuts to 65 in-lb (7.3 N·m). Use two wrenches to pre-
vent the posts from turning. See following NOTE.
NOTE: If the motor wires were not tagged when disconnected, refer to the wiring diagram for proper con-
nection. See Wiring Diagram, Section 11, Page 11-11.
7. Insert bolts through the spring shackles and bushings in the leaf spring eyes. Secure bolts with lock nuts.
Tighten to 15 ft-lb (20.3 N·m).
8. Connect the brake cables using new bow tie pins (1) (Figure 16a-7, Page 16a-5).
9. Install the shock absorbers. Tighten shock absorber retaining nuts until the rubber bushings expand to
the same size as the cup washers.
10. Install the rear wheels and finger-tighten the lug nuts.
11. Lift the vehicle and remove the jack stands.
12. Lower vehicle and tighten the lug nuts, using a crisscross pattern, to 55 ft-lb (74.6 N·m).
13. Inspect the vehicle to check for proper operation.
