BRAKE SYST EM
1991-92 BRAKES Disc & Drum
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
On Capri, vehicle braking is provided by front and rear disc brakes. Front and rear brakes are a full-floating, single piston design. The rear
caliper houses a self-adjusting parking brake.
On Festiva, vehicle braking is provided by front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Rear brakes are a standard non-servo, self-en e r giz in g d e sign .
Front brakes are a full-floating, single piston design with caliper attached to steering knuckle.
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
BLEEDING PROCEDURES
Manual Bleeding
1. Exhaust vacuum from power brake unit by depressing brake pedal several times. Fill master cylinder with clean brake fluid. Install clear
vinyl bleeder hose onto first bleeder valve to be serviced. See BRAKE LINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. Place other end of hose in
clean transparent container.
2. Partially fill container with clean brake fluid. Open the bleeder valve 3/4 turn. Slowly depress brake pedal through its full travel. Close
bleeder valve and release pedal. Pump pedal several times to push air toward wheel cylinders. Repeat procedure until flow of brake
fluid is clear and shows no signs of air bubbles. Proceed to next bleeder valve in sequence and repeat procedure.
BRAKE LINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE
Pressure Bleeding
1. Exhaust vacuum from power brake unit by depressing brake pedal several times. Fill master cylinder with clean brake fluid. With
pressure bleeder at least 1/2 full, connect pressure bleeder to master cylinder using appropriate adaptor.
2. Install clear vinyl bleeder hose onto first bleeder valve to be serviced. See BRAKE LINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. Place other
end of hose in clean transparent container. Partially fill container with clean brake fluid. Open bleeder valve 1-2 turns. Allow fluid to
run until flow of fluid is clear and shows no signs of air bubbles. Proceed to next bleeder valve in sequence and repeat procedure.
Remove pressure bleeder and fill master cylinder with clean brake fluid.
ADJUSTMENTS
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT (FESTIVA)
1. Block wheels to prevent vehicle from rolling. Start engine and place transmission in Neutral. Fully release parking brake. Move carpet
and insulation away from firewall and brake pedal. Measure distance horizontally between upper center of brake pedal pad and firewall.
Distance should be 8.03-8.23" (204-209 mm).
2. If pedal height is incorrect, inspect pedal assembly for missing, worn or damaged bushings or for loose attaching bolts. Ensure firewall is
not distorted and pedal is not bent. If pedal height is still not within specifications, check brake pedal, booster or master cylinder for
correct and/or correctly installed parts
BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY (FESTIVA)
Pump brake pedal several to bleed vacuum from power brake booster. Gently depress brake pedal by hand and measure and measure play
before resistance is felt. Free play should be .16-.28" (4-7 mm). If free play is not within specifications, adjust brake pedal push rod.
BRAKE PEDAL FLOOR CLEARANCE
Capri
1. Move carpet and insulation away from floor board and brake pedal. With engine running and using Brake Pedal Effort Gauge (021-
00001), apply 132 lbs. (59.9 kg) of force to brake pedal. Measure distance from upper surface of brake pedal pad to floor board. If
distance is less than 3.27" (83 mm), inspect pedal assembly for missing, worn or damaged bushings or for loose attaching bolts.
2. Verify that floor board is not distorted and pedal is not bent. If pedal height is still not within specifications, check brake pedal, booster
or master cylinder for correct and/or correctly installed parts. Check for air in hydraulic system.
Festiva
Move carpet and insulation away from floor board and brake pedal. Using Brake Pedal Effort Gauge (021-00001) or equivalent, apply 132
lbs. (59.9 kg) of force to brake pedal. Measure distance from upper surface of brake pedal pad to floor board. If distance is less than 2.68" (68
mm), check for air in hydraulic system, faulty automatic adjusters or excessive shoe clearance.

AXLE SHAFT S - FRONT
1988-93 Drive Axles - FWD Axle Shafts
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Axle shafts transfer power from transaxle to driving wheels. All axle shafts consist of a shaft with a flexible Constant Velocity (CV) joint at
each end. Inner CV joint is coupled to transaxle by splines. Outer CV joint is splined to hub assembly and secured by axle shaft nut.
Three different types of axle shaft CV joints are used: Double Offset Joint (DOJ) or Rzeppa type, Birfield Joint (BJ) and the Tripot Joint (TJ).
CV joint boots protect CV joints by maintaining proper lubrication and preventing contaminants from entering joint. Boots must be replaced
when signs of leakage or cracks are present. Inner CV joint may be disassembled and serviced. Outer CV joint boot may be replaced, but outer
Birfield CV joint must NOT be disassembled. It must be replaced as an assembly, if faulty.
To prevent torsional vibration and torque steer on turbocharged Capri vehicles, an intermediate shaft and conventional axle shaft are used on
the right side. Both shafts are of similar length and are supported by a bearing, which is attached to engine.

FWD AXLE SHAFTS
Removal
1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove lower underbody splash shields. Drain transaxle fluid. Remove front wheels and loosen axle shaft
lock nut. On Capri, remove stabilizer bar-to-control arm attaching nuts, bolt, washers and bushings. On Festiva, remove stabilizer bar
attaching nuts and bracket. On all models, remove joint clamp bolt from lower control arm. Pry downward and separate steering knuckle
from ball joint, taking care not to damage ball joint dust boot.
2. On Capri turbo, remove bolts securing intermediate shaft bearing bracket to engine. On all models, slowly pry axle shaft from transaxle
using a flat-tip screwdriver or pry bar. Axle is held into transaxle by a circlip fitted to the end of the axle. Remove axle shaft from wheel
hub. If difficult to remove, use axle puller to remove axle from drive hub. Remove axle shaft from transaxle. Plug transaxle openings
with Plugs (T87C-7025-C ). Remove axle shaft assembly from vehicle. See Fig. 1
.
