  1. REMOVE REAR WHEEL

  2. SEPARATE REAR SPEED SENSOR WIRE


    1. A0161AQ

      Disconnect the rear speed sensor wire connector.

    2. Remove the bolt and separate the rear speed sensor wire from the toe control link sub-assembly.

  3. REMOVE TOE CONTROL LINK SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A01626C

      Remove the nut.

    2. A0162N9E01

      Install 2 spacers (SST spacer B) as shown in the illustration.

      SST
      09960-20010   ( 09961-02060, 09961-02060 )
      A
      1 mm (0.0394 in.) or more

      Note

      As SST may be damaged, make sure that the clearance between the arm and spacers is less than 1 mm (0.0394 in.).

    3. Using SST, remove the toe control link sub-assembly from the rear axle carrier sub-assembly as shown in the illustration.

      SST
      09960-20010   ( 09961-02010, 09961-02060, 09961-02060 )
      A0162U2E01

      CAUTION:

      Apply grease to the threads and end of the SST bolt.

      Note


      • Install SST so that A and B are parallel.

      • Be sure to place a wrench on the part indicated in the illustration.

      • Make sure that SST is securely positioned on the rear axle carrier spacer.

      • Use caution not to damage the rear axle carrier sub-assembly because it is made of aluminum and may be damaged easily.

      • Do not damage the ball joint dust cover.

      • Make sure that the SST string is securely tied to the vehicle.

      If the rear axle carrier spacer has come off, replace the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with a new one.
