13.Position the EBJ boot band (large) so that there is even

clearance at either end (D and E).

14.Use special tool MB991561 to crimp the EBJ boot band

(large) in the same way as in step 7.

15.Check that the crimping amount (F) of the boot band is at

the standard value.

Standard value (F): 2.4

− 2.8 mm (0.10 − 0.11 inch)

If the crimping amount is larger than 2.8 mm (0.11

inch)
Readjust the value of (W) in step 12 according to
the following formula, and then repeat the opera-
tion in step 14.
W = 5.8 mm (0.23 inch)

− F

Example: If F = 2.9 mm (0.11 inch), then W = 2.9 mm
(0.11 inch)

If the crimping amount is smaller than 2.4 mm (0.10

inch)
Remove the EBJ boot band, readjust the value of
(W) in step 12 according to the following formula,
and then repeat the operations in steps 13 and 14
using a new EBJ boot band.
W = 5.8 mm (0.23 inch)

− F

Example: If F = 2.3 mm (0.09 inch), then W = 3.5 mm
(0.14 inch)

16.Check that the boot band is not sticking out past the place

where it has been installed. If the boot band is sticking out,
remove it and then repeat steps 13 to 15, using a new boot
band.

GENERAL INFORMATION

M1271000100854

The rear axle has the following features:

• The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing (dou-

ble-row angular contact ball bearing) which incor-
porates the oil seals and is highly resistant to a
thrust load.

• Rear sensor cover is added to the trailing arm

part. <Vehicles with 2.4 L engine: 7 persons seat,
3.0 L engine>

• The number of parts has been reduced by inte-

grating the magnetic encoder for ABS wheel
speed detection into the wheel bearing.
