PRECAUTION (DRIVELINE/AXLE)

Wheel and Tire Removal/Installation

1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a wheel is removed, tighten it to 107.8-147.0 N·m {11.00-14.98 kgf·m, 79.6-108.4 ft·lbf}.

Brake Line Disconnection/Connection

Caution

• Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately.

1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination. (See Torque Formulas.)

2. If any brake line has been disconnected any time during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes, and inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.

Suspension Arm Removal/Installation

1. Tighten any part of the suspension that uses rubber bushings only after vehicle has been lowered and unloaded.

Note

• Unloaded: Fuel tank is full. Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified level. Spare tire, jack, and tools are in designated position.
