  Q: How to remove and install a radiator on Toyota Echo?

  A: Draining engine coolant must be the first step before you remove engine under covers. The next step is to disconnect the electric cooling fan connector, horn connector, upper radiator hose, lower radiator hose, radiator reservoir hose while also removing the 2 oil cooler hoses when dealing with automatic transmissions. Begin by removing two clips and the radiator cover followed by unscrewing seven (on vehicles without A/C) to nine (with A/C) bolts from the upper radiator supports to extract the radiator assembly and its two radiator support cushions together with grommets. You should disconnect the electric cooling fan from the radiator by unscrewing its 3 assembly bolts. Position the cooling fan on the radiator through its 3 bolts before torquing them to 7.5 Nm (80 kgf-cm, 66 inch lbs.). Append the 2 radiator support cushions and grommets to the radiator before connecting the grommets to body brackets then fasten upper radiator supports with 7 bolts if A/C is absent or utilize 9 bolts when A/C is present. Connect all hoses for the radiator including the upper and lower hoses together with the radiator reservoir hose and also for automatic transmissions connect the two oil cooler hoses with their respective pipes. Also secure the radiator cover using 2 clips before reconnecting the horn connector along with the electric cooling fan connector. Insert the engine under the engine covers before filling the system with engine coolant as you start the engine to check the presence of leaks.

  Q: How to service and repair the wheel bearing with ABS on Toyota Echo?

  A: Start wheel bearing service by removing the ABS speed sensor then extract its 2 pins with a pin punch and hammer before detaching the 2 components using Special Service Tool: 09520-00031 (09520-00040, 09521-00020). Put the axle hub assembly in a soft jaw vise and replace it if it encounters a heavy impact. Disconnect the ABS speed sensor using tools 09520-00031 (09520-00040, 09521-00020), 09950-00020 with two 12 mm x 1.5 mm bolts while avoiding sensor rotor debris and pulling straight to prevent damage. A new axle hub assembly needs replacement plus the sensor contact surfaces must stay free of scratches when the rotor sustains damage. After cleaning both axle hub and new ABS speed sensor parts install the sensor onto the hub base plate keeping its connector downward. Use Special Service Tool 09214-76011 together with a press to install new ABS speed sensor. Press it slowly and straight while preventing direct hammer contact and inspecting the detection area for foreign particles.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Rack and Pinion Steering Gear on Toyota Echo?

  A: The manual rack and pinion assembly needs to be set in a vise using Special Service Tool: 09612-00012 but be cautious not to stretch the rack and pinion. Service the rack and pinion by first placing matchmarks on the tie rod ends then gently loosen the lock nuts to detach them with the right and left hands respectively. Liberate the right-hand and left-hand clips and clamps and rack boots by first loosening the clamp with pliers and then carefully extracting the clip and clamp with the boot intact while maintaining proper markings for both rack boots. First stabilize the rack while using Special Service Tool: 09922-10010 to unfasten the right-hand and left-hand rack ends. The rack guide spring cap lock nut should be removed first through Special Service Tool: 09922-10010 followed by successive removal of rack guide spring cap, rack guide spring spacer, conical spring washer, rack guide spring and rack guide sub-assembly. To eliminate the oil seal and spacer from the rack housing use a screwdriver covered with vinyl tape while carefully preventing damage to the housing before using snap ring pliers to detach the snap ring which lets you extract the pinion without harming serrations on its surface. Revolution of the rack must be avoided to prevent bushing damage when performing removal. A dial indicator helps check the rack for runout as well as teeth wear and damage by ensuring maximum runout stays below 0.15 mm (0.0059 inch). The inspection should also include examining the back surface for wear and damage. The indicated parts should receive a coating of molybdenum disulfide lithium base grease before installing the rack through the pinion side without rack revolution while setting its notched side toward the pinion. Position the pinion while pushing it forward then apply snap ring pliers to install the snap ring followed by the spacer and greased new oil seal before tapping it in using Special Service Tool: 09517-12010 and a hammer. The installation of rack guide sub-assembly along with rack guide spring and conical spring washer must be performed by placing the conical spring washer properly oriented while rack guide spring cap threads get sealant treatment before final installation. Temporarily install the rack guide spring cap. Users should do total preload manipulation by installing left-hand and right-hand rack ends. Then users must apply torque of 6.9 Nm (70 kgf.cm, 61 inch lbs.) to the rack guide spring cap while turning the pinion shaft and loosening the spring cap until it becomes nonfunctional before final tightened to a preload of 0.6 - 1.5 Nm (6 - 15 kgf.cm, 5.2 - 13.0 inch lbs.) through use of Special Service Tool: 09612-24014 (09616 The rack guide spring cap lock nut requires threads sealed with sealant before torquing it to 36 Nm (365 kgf.cm, 26 ft. lbs.) using Special Service Tool: 09922-10010 while rechecking the total preload. Utilize Special Service Tool: 09922-10010 for positioning each rack end before torquing it to 62 Nm (630 kgf.cm, 46 ft. lbs.). The next steps include attaching the rack boots and clamps along with their clips while avoiding boot damage or distortion, and finishing by fitting right-left tie rod ends and their lock nuts must be torqued to 47 Nm (480 kgf.cm, 35 ft. lbs.).
