Observe specified tightening torque when tightening high-pressure and low-pressure pipe connectors. Excessive tightening will damage threads
of connector or O-ring.
Connector tightening torque:
1. Low-pressure side
27 - 39 Nm (2.8 - 4.0 kgf-m, 20 - 29 ft. lbs.)
2. High-pressure side
15 - 25 Nm (1.5 - 2.5 kgf-m, 11 - 18 ft. lbs.)
-
The O-ring in low-pressure pipe connector is larger than that in high-pressure connector. Take care to install the proper O-ring.
-
Initially, tighten nut on tie-rod outer socket and knuckle arm to 29 to 39 Nm (3 to 4 kgf-m, 22 to 29 ft. lbs.). Then tighten further to
align nut groove with first pin hole so that cotter pin can be installed.
CAUTION: Tightening torque must not exceed 49 Nm (5 kgf-m, 36 ft. lbs.).
-
Before removing lower joint from gear, set gear in neutral (wheels in straight-ahead position). After removing lower joint, put matching mark
on pinion shaft and pinion housing to record neutral position.
-
To install, set left and right dust boots to equal deflection. Attach lower joint by aligning matching marks of pinion shaft and pinion housing.
-
Tighten gear housing mounting bracket bolts in the order shown.
