Work Procedure

CAUTION:

Clean surrounding areas of oil injection jack using steam before starting operation, since there may be mud on it.
Clean oil pressure gauge (special service tool: KV40108000) jack with steam before use.

Lift up the vehicle.
Remove protector of PPMU.
Remove cap of oil injection jack.
Install an oil pressure gauge (SST: KV40108000) (A) to oil injection jack.
CAUTION:
- Jack must be securely inserted until a click sound can be heard.
- Pressure reducing valve (B) of the oil pressure gauge must be closed.

Loosen pressure reducing valve (A) of oil pressure gauge and then lower pressure.
CAUTION: Be careful since oil drains swiftly from oil drain hole (B).
Check that reading of oil pressure gauge is 0 MPa.
Tighten needle valves A, C, and E of PPMU to the specified torque.
Tightening torque : 8.3 N.m (0.85 kg-m, 73 in-lb)
