BRAKE HYDRAULIC LINE 1 1
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BRAKE
LINES
1. Loosen or tighten the flare nut with the SST.
Flare nut tightening torque: 13—22 N-m
(1.3—2.2 m-kg, 9—16 ft-lb)
2. When connecting the flexible hose, do not over-
tighten or twist it.
3. After installation:
(1) Check that the hose does not contact other
parts when the vehicle bounces or when the
steering wheel is turned all the way to the right
or left.
(2) Bleed the air from the brake system. (Refer to
page 11—9.)
REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE FLUID
1. Remove the brake fluid from the reservoir with a
suction pump.
2. Fill the reservoir with new, specified brake fluid.
3. Pump out the old brake fluid by loosening the
bleeder screws (one by one) and pumping the
brake pedal. (Refer to page 11—10 for details.)

Procedure
1. Jack up the vehicle and support it with safety
stands.
2. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid. Be sure that it is
at least half full at all times during the air bleeding
process.
Caution
a) Be careful not to spill brake fluid onto a
painted surface.
b)Use only the specified brake fluid. Do not
mix it with any other type.
3. Remove the bleeder cap; then connect one end
of a transparent vinyl tube to the bleeder screw and
place the other end in a receptacle.
4. Have an assistant depress the brake pedal a few
times, and then hold it in the depressed position.
5. Loosen the bleeder screw, drain out the fluid, and
retighten the bleeder.
Note
a) The two people should stay in voice con-
tact with each other.
b) Be sure the pedal remains depressed until
the bleeder is tightened.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until no more air is dis-
charged.
7. Tighten the bleeder screw, and check that there
is no fluid leakage.
Bleeder screw tightening torque:
6—9 N-m (60—90 cm-kg, 52—78 in-lb)
Caution
Be sure to clean away any spilled fluid with
rags.
8. Add brake fluid to the reservoir up to the speci-
fied level.

FUNCTION CHECK
Simple Method
First step
1. With the engine stopped, depress the pedal a few
times.
2. With the pedal depressed, start the engine
3. If immediately after the engine starts the pedal
moves down slightly, the unit is operating.
Second step
1. Start the engine.
2. Stop the engine after it has run for
1
or 2 minutes.
3. Depress the pedal with the usual force.
4.
If
the first pedal stroke is long and becomes short-
er with subsequent strokes, the unit is operating.
5. If a problem is found, inspect for damage of the
check valve or vacuum hose, and examine the in-
stallation condition. Repair if necessary, and inspect
it once again.
Third step
1. Start the engine.
2. Depress the pedal with the usual force.
3. Stop the engine with the pedal still depressed.
4. Hold the pedal down for about 30 seconds.
5. If the pedal height does not change, the unit is
operating.
6. If there is a problem, check for damage to the
check valve or vacuum hose, and check the con-
nection. Repair if necessary, and check once
again.
If the nature of the problem is still not clear after fol-
lowing the 3 steps above, follow the more detailed
check described in "Method using tester".
Method Using Tester
Connect a pressure gauge, vacuum gauge, and ped-
al depression force gauge as shown in the figure. Af-
ter bleeding the air from the pressure gauge, conduct
the test as described in the 3 steps below.
Note
Use commercially available gauges and ped-
al depression force gauge.
