• Make sure the transmission is in P position/mode.

1. HDS - Connect

2. Rear Differential Fluid Temperature - Check

1. Check that the rear differential fluid temperature is over 68 ºF (20 ºC) with the HDS. If it is below 68 ºF (20 ºC), raise the temperature by driving the vehicle in circles or by constantly turning.

3. Vehicle - Lift

NOTE: The distance should be in the specified value between ground and center hub: 40－50 cm (15.7－19.7 in).

4. Rear Wheel - Remove

1. Install the torque wrench adapter on the rear wheel hub.

2. Install a torque wrench (A) on the torque wrench adapter as shown.

   NOTE: Use a torque wrench capable of measuring up to 785 N-m (80.0 kgf-m, 579 lbf-ft) such as a commercially available Snap-on torque wrench TEC602A.

3. Do the Clutch Test with the HDS.
4. Slowly rotating the rear wheel hub with the torque wrench by torque of 294 N-m (30.0 kgf-m, 217 lbf-ft).

   NOTE: Turn the rear wheel hub no more than 45 degrees in 2 seconds.

   • If the rear wheel hub rotates, replace the left and right clutch assembly.
