1. *1: to front wheel cylinder RH
   
2. *2: to front wheel cylinder LH
   
3. *3: to rear wheel cylinder
   
4. *4: from master cylinder
   

Using a union nut wrench, connect the 5 brake lines to the correct locations on the actuator, as shown in the illustration

Torque:

15 N*m{155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf}

NOTICE:

Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench (Toyota Fortuner RM000000UYX010X.html).

Attach the clip to the brake actuator bracket.

Connect the actuator connector.

Using a union nut wrench, disconnect the 2 brake lines from the master cylinder.

Remove the bleeder plug cap.

Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plugs.

Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed.

When fluid stops coming out, immediately tighten the bleeder plug. Then release the pedal.

Repeat the 2 previous steps until all the air in the brake fluid is gone.

Tighten the bleeder plug.

Torque:

11 N*m{110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf}for front brake

10 N*m{102 kgf*cm, 7 ft.*lbf}for rear brake

Install the cap.

Bleed air from the brake line for each wheel by repeating the above procedures.

Remove the bleeder plug cap.

Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

Depress the clutch pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed.

At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the clutch pedal.

Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.

Tighten the bleeder plug.

Torque:

11 N*m{112 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf}

Install the bleeder plug cap.

Check that all the air has been bled out of the clutch line.

Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

Fluid:

SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

HINT:

Add fluid to a level between the reservoir's MIN and MAX lines.

Check the brake actuator with the intelligent tester (Toyota Fortuner RM0000011JI003X.html).
