REPAIR 4 - TWIST GRIP JAMS, DOES NOT UNLATCH SEAT

NOTE:
If the twist grip components fail it is not necessary to renew the occasional rear seat. The repair procedures below permit replacement of the twist grip or release cable.

1. If the seat release twist grip is determined to be the cause of the failure to release, disassemble the twist grip as follows:

^ Refer to RAVE section 78.10.45 and remove the 3rd row occasional rear seat.





^* Carefully release the retainers and remove the seat backboard. (Figure 8)*





^ Remove the two Torx screws securing the seat release twist grip assembly. (Arrowed in Figure 9)

^* Release the twist grip assembly from between the frame brackets.

^ Remove the metal rod from the twist grip halves and set aside.*

NOTE:
The ferrule may be glued into position.

^ Release the ferrule and remove the pin securing the release strap. (Inset in Figure 9)

2. Install a new release twist grip as follows:

^* Release the ferrule and remove the pin securing the release strap. (Inset in Figure 9)

^ Install the spring to the stationary half of the twistgrip (fitted with ferrule) and insert the metal shaft.

^ Position the rotating half of the twistgrip (without ferrule) onto the shaft.





^ Locate the spring into the positioning holes within the twistgrip halves. (Figure 10)

NOTE:
When the spring is correctly positioned and the twistgrips are aligned on the shaft, the release strap locating lugs ("A" in Figure 10) will be aligned between the ferrule's cut-outs on the stationary half of the twistgrip ("B" in Figure 10).





^ While holding the two halves of the twistgrip together, place the release strap in position (B in Figure 11) and secure with a new pin. (A Figure 11)





^ Place the ferrule onto the rotating half of the twistgrip assembly. (Arrowed Figure 12).*

^ Locate the twistgrip assembly to the frame brackets and secure with two Torx screws.

^* Place a 1.5 mm feeler gauge between the stationary and rotating halves of the twistgrip.





^ Push the stationary half of the twistgrip against the frame bracket. (Arrowed Figure 13)





^ Push the rotating half of the twistgrip up against the stationary half of the twistgrip. (Arrowed Figure 14)

^ Verify there is a 1.5 mm (0.060 inch)gap between the halves of the twistgrip.





^ Push the ferrule against the frame bracket while also pushing rotating half in opposite direction. (Inset Figure 14)





^ Apply adhesive between the ferrule and the rotating half of the twistgrip to fix the ferrule into position. (Figure 15)

^ Allow adhesive to cure and remove feeler gauge.

^ Check that the rotating half of twistgrip has a small amount of axial movement (approx. 0.5 mm), and that the twistgrip can be operated without sticking and/or jamming.*

3. Install the backboard onto the seat.

4. Refer to RAVE section 78.10.45 and install the occasional rear seat.

5. Stow the seat.
