Factory service manual (source for this site's guides)
Mitsubishi document PWWE8608 — combined manual covering 2WD and 4WD variants.
The full manual (180MB+ scan) is kept locally, not redistributed here. Individual diagram pages are excerpted inline on the relevant guides where useful, each captioned with its manual page number — every guide also cites the exact section and page range it was converted from.

Delica Forum
Community knowledge that fills the gaps the factory manual leaves out — real owners hitting real clearance/tooling problems the manual doesn't mention.
