Front Brake Flexible Hose -- Installation |
- HINT:
- Use the same procedures for the LH side and RH side.
- The procedures listed below are for the LH side.
| 1. INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 WHEEL CYLINDER TUBE LH |
 |
Using SST, install the wheel cylinder tube to the brake cylinder.
- SST
- 09023-00101
- Torque:
- 15.2 N*m{155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf}without SST
- 14 N*m{143 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf}with SST
- HINT:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
- NOTICE:
- Do not bend or damage the wheel cylinder tube.
- Do not allow any foreign matter such as dirt and dust to enter the wheel cylinder tube from the connecting points.
| 2. INSTALL FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE |
 |
Install the flexible hose with the 2 clips.
Using SST, connect the brake tube and wheel cylinder tube to the flexible hose while holding the flexible hose with a wrench.
- SST
- 09023-00101
- Torque:
- 15.2 N*m{155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf}without SST
- 14 N*m{143 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf}with SST
- HINT:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
- NOTICE:
- Do not bend or damage the brake tube and wheel cylinder tube.
- Do not allow any foreign matter such as dirt and dust to enter the brake tube and wheel cylinder tube from the connecting points.
| 3. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID |
 |
- Fluid:
- SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3
| 4. 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.
Using SST, disconnect the 2 brake lines from the master cylinder.
- SST
- 09023-00101
Slowly depress and hold the brake pedal.
Cover the outer holes with your fingers, and release the pedal.
 |
Repeat the 2 previous steps 3 or 4 times.
Using SST, connect the 2 brake lines to the master cylinder.
- SST
- 09023-00101
- Torque:
- 15.2 N*m{155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf}without SST
- 14 N*m{143 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf}with SST
- HINT:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
| 5. BLEED AIR FROM BRAKE LINE |
 |
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:
- 10.8 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.
| 6. BLEED AIR FROM CLUTCH LINE (for Manual Transmission) |
 |
Remove the bleeder plug cap.
Connect a 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.
| 7. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR |
 |
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.
| 8. CHECK FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE |
| 9. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL |
- Torque:
- 105 N*m{1,071 kgf*cm, 77 ft.*lbf}
