^
Install pipe connector.
^
Observe specified tightening torque when tightening high-pressure and low-pressure pipe connectors. Excessive tightening will damage threads
of connector or 0-ring.
^
The 0-ring in low-pressure pipe connector is larger than that in high-pressure connector. Take care to install the proper 0-ring.
Connector tightening torque:
Low-pressure side "1" 21 - 39 N (2.8 - 4.0 kg, 20 - 29ft-lb)
High-pressure side "2" 15 - 25 N (1.5 - 2.5 kg, 11 - 18ft-lb)
^
Initially, tighten nut on tie-rod outer socket and knuckle arm to 29 to 39 N (3 to 4 kg, 22 to 29 ft-lb). 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 N (5kg, 36ft-lb).
^
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 of gear.
^
To install, set left and right dust boots to equal deflection, and attach lower joint by aligning matching marks of pinion shaft and pinion
housing.

Tighten gear housing mounting bracket bolts in the order shown.
