Repair Procedures

Removal

1. Disconnect the brake hose (C) from the brake line (A) using a flare-nut wrench (B).




2. Remove the brake hose clip (B), and then remove the brake hose (A).




3. Remove the connector bolt (A) from the caliper, and disconnect the brake hose (B) from the caliper.






Inspection

1. Check the brake tubes for cracks, crimps and corrosion.
2. Check the brake hoses for cracks, damaged and oil leakage.
3. Check the brake tube flare nuts for damage and oil leakage.

Brake System Bleeding

NOTE:
- Do not reuse the drained fluid.
- Always use Genuine DOT 3 or Brake Fluid. Using a non-Genuine DOT3 or brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
- Make sure no dirt of other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
- Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
- The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of bleeding procedure and checked after bleeding each brake caliper. Add fluid as required.

1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at the MAX (upper) level line.
2. Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal several times, and then apply steady pressure.
3. Loosen the right-rear brake bleed screw to allow air to escape from the system. Then tighten the bleed screw securely.
4. Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequence shown below until air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid.
5. Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX (upper) level line.

Installation

1. Install a brake hose (B) on the caliper with tightening brake hose bolt (A) and washer.

Tightening torque : N.m (kgf.m, lb-ft)
24.5 - 29.4 (2.5 - 3.0, 18.1 - 21.7)




2. Connect the brake hose (A) to the brake line (C) using a flare-nut wrench (B).




3. Install the brake hose clip (A) to the brake hose bracket.




4. After installing the brake hose, bleed the brake system.

CAUTION:
- Check the brake hoses for interference and twisting.
- Check the brake hose and line joint for leaks, and tighten if necessary.
