Front Brake Flexible Hose Installation

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

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 from the connecting point.
   
3. Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench (LandCruiser RM000003YMD00TX.html).
   

Install 2 new clips to the front flexible hose.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.

Add brake fluid until the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir.

Repeatedly depress the brake pedal and bleed air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.

Repeat the step above until the air is completely bled, and then tighten the bleeder plug while depressing the brake pedal.

Torque:

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

Bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder LH using the same procedure as for the RH side.

With the brake pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH, continue to hold the brake pedal and allow brake fluid to be drained from the bleeder plug while the pump motor operates.

HINT:

1. Air is bled as the pump motor operates while the brake pedal is being depressed.
   
2. Be sure to release the brake pedal to stop the motor after approximately 100 seconds of continuous operation.
   
3. As brake fluid is continuously drained while the pump operates, it is not necessary to repeatedly depress the brake pedal.
   

When there is no more air in the brake fluid, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.

Torque:

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

Bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder LH using the same procedure as for the RH side.

Turn the ignition switch off.

Inspect for brake fluid leaks.

Check and adjust the brake fluid level (LandCruiser RM0000012XQ041X.html).

Clear the DTCs (LandCruiser RM0000046KV016X.html).

Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.

Add brake fluid until the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir.

Loosen the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.

Repeatedly depress the brake pedal and bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.

NOTICE:

Add fluid as necessary so that the fluid in the reservoir does not decrease below the MIN level.

After air is completely bled out, tighten the bleeder plug while depressing the brake pedal.
