Rear Brake Flexible Hose -- Installation



1. INSTALL REAR BRAKE TUBE FLEXIBLE HOSE

  1. Attach a new clip to the flexible hose.



    Toyota Fortuner. Ggn50, 60 Kun51, 61 Tgn51 Lan50

  1. Connect the flexible hose to the 3-way.

    Torque:
    23 N*m{235 kgf*cm, 17 ft.*lbf}

  1. Using a union nut wrench, connect the flexible hose to the brake tube while holding the flexible hose with a wrench.

    Torque:
    15 N*m{155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf}
    NOTICE:
    1. Do not bend or damage the brake tube.
    2. Do not allow any foreign matter such as dirt and dust to enter the brake tube and 3-way from the connecting points.
    3. 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).


2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Fluid:
SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3


3. BLEED AIR FROM BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
HINT:
If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed air from the master cylinder.

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

  1. Cover the outer holes with your fingers, and release the pedal.

  1. Repeat the 2 previous steps 3 or 4 times.

  1. Using a union nut wrench, connect the 2 brake lines to the master cylinder.

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

  1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.

  1. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plugs.

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

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

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

  1. 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

  1. Install the cap.

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



5. BLEED AIR FROM CLUTCH LINE (for Manual Transmission)


Toyota Fortuner. Ggn50, 60 Kun51, 61 Tgn51 Lan50

  1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.

  1. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

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

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

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

  1. Tighten the bleeder plug.

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

  1. Install the bleeder plug cap.

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



6. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR


Toyota Fortuner. Ggn50, 60 Kun51, 61 Tgn51 Lan50

  1. 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.


7. CHECK FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE
