REAR WHEEL/SUSPENSION
SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
·
This section covers service of the rear wheel and rear suspension.
·
For tire information, refer to
14-13.
·
For brake system service, refer to
16-3.
·
For rear driving mechanism service, refer to
18-3.
·
A jack or other support is required to support the vehicle.
·
Use genuine Honda replacement bolts and nuts for all suspension pivots and mounting points.
·
When using the lock nut wrench, use a deflecting beam type torque wrench 20 inches long. The lock nut wrench
increases the torque wrench's leverage, so the torque wrench reading will be less than the torque actually applied to the
lock nut. The specification given is the actual torque applied to the lock nut, not the reading on the torque wrench. Do
not overtighten the lock nut. The specification later in the text gives both actual and indicated.
