PROCEDURE
INSTALL BREATHER PLUG
Install the breather plug to the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly.
TEMPORARILY INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
Temporarily install the front differential support assembly to the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly with the 2 bolts.
INSTALL WIRE HARNESS CLAMP BRACKET
Install the wire harness clamp bracket to the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly with the bolt.
INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL MOUNT CUSHION
| *a | -3 to 3° |
|
Rear of vehicle |
Temporarily install the differential mount cushion to the rear suspension member sub-assembly from the rear of the vehicle.
| *a | Turn |
| *b | Hold |
| *c | Point of engagement with rear suspension member sub-assembly |
| *d | 5.0 to 6.0 mm (0.1969 to 0.2362 in.) |
|
Rear of vehicle |
Using SST, install a new differential mount cushion.(*1)
Note
Before using SST, apply grease to SST bolts.
Do not tilt the bolts of SST.
Tighten the 2 bolts of SST so that they enter the 2 holes of the rear No. 1 differential mount cushion by an equal amount.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance labeled A in the illustration. (*2)
Note
Measure at several points to check that the differential mount cushion is uniformly inserted.
Measure at points where there is no welding bead.
Repeat steps *1 and *2 above to press the differential mount cushion into the rear suspension member sub-assembly until the distance labeled A in the illustration reaches the reference value.
| Reference |
|---|
| 11 to 12 mm (0.4331 to 0.4724 in.) |
Remove SST, and then using a vernier caliper, measure the protrusion (labeled B in the illustration) of the differential mount cushion. Check that the measured value is within the specified range.
| Standard |
|---|
| 5.0 to 6.0 mm (0.1969 to 0.2362 in.) |
INSTALL REAR TRACTION MOTOR WITH TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
Using an engine sling device and chain block, hold the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly.
CAUTION:
As the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly is heavy, hold it securely using an engine sling device and chain block.
Note
Do not drop the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly.
Do not damage the installation surface of the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly.
| *1 | Upper Differential Mount Stopper |
| *2 | Lower Differential Mount Stopper |
| *3 | Differential Dynamic Damper |
Temporarily install the 2 upper differential mount stoppers, 2 lower differential mount stoppers, differential dynamic damper and rear traction motor with transaxle assembly to the rear suspension member sub-assembly with the 4 bolts.
Tighten the 6 bolts.
Remove the engine sling device.
INSTALL EXTENSION WIRE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
Install the extension wire assembly to the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly with the 3 bolts.
Note
Firmly insert the extension wire assembly to the rear traction motor.
