ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN MASTER CYLINDER
RESERVOIR
Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It should be be-
tween the Max and Min lines on the reservoir.

If
the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake sys-
tem for leaks.
Fluid specification:
DOT-3 or DOT-4 or SAE J1703

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.
86U11X-014
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.

BRAKE PEDAL
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
Pedal Height
Inspection
Check that the distance from the center of the upper
surface of the pedal pad to the firewall is as specified.
LHD and RHD
Pedal height: 222 mm (8.74 +0-200 in)
Adjustment
1. Disconnect the stop light switch connector.
2. Loosen locknut B and turn switch A until it does
not contact the pedal.
3. Loosen locknut D and turn rod C to adjust the
height.
4. Adjust the pedal free play and tighten locknut D.
5. Turn the stop light switch until it contacts the ped-
al; then turn an additional 1/2 turn. Tighten lock-
nut B.
Locknut B tightening torque:
14—18 N m (1.4—1.8 m-kg, 10—13 ft-lb)
Locknut D tightening torque:
24—34 Nm (2.4—3.5 m-kg, 17—25 ft-lb)
Pedal Play
Inspection
1. Depress the pedal a few times to eliminate the
vacuum in the system.
2. Gently depress the pedal again by hand, and
check the free play. (Until the valve plunger con-
tacts the stopper plate = until the power piston be-
gins to move.)
Pedal play: 4—7 mm (0.16—0.28 in)
76G11X-099
Adjustment
Loosen the locknut D of the operating rod C; then
turn the rod to adjust the free play.
Locknut D tightening torque:
24—34 Nm (2.4—3.5 m-kg, 17—25 ft-lb)

REMOVAL
Remove in the sequence shown in the figure.
Pedal-to-Floor Clearance
Inspection
Check that the distance from the floor panel to the
center of the upper surface of the pedal pad is as
specified when the pedal is depressed with a force
of 589 N (60 kg, 132.3 lb).
Pedal-to-floor clearance:
LHD and RHD
95 mm (3.7 in) min.
If the distance is less than specified, check for the
following problems.
1. Air in brake system
2. Malfunction of automatic adjuster (rear drum
brakes)
3. Worn shoes or pads

1. Clevis pin
2. Brake pedal
3. Return spring
4. Guide pipe
5. Bushing
6. Brake pad
