1. FUEL SYSTEM (TANK, LINES, CONNECTIONS
AND FUEL FILLER CAP) (Check for leaks)
/ 2.
FUEL HOSES (Check for leaks or damage)MWShGC
1. Check for damage or leakage in the fuel lines and
connections and looseness of the fuel filler cap.
2.Inspect the surface of fuel hoses for heat and mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, checking, tears,
cuts, abrasions and excessive swelling indicate deteriora-
tion of the rubber.
3.If the fabric casing of the rubber hose is exposed by cracks
and abrasions in the fuel system, the hoses should be
changed.

14UOO729. Install the radiator cap securely.
10.
Start’the engine and warm up until the thermostat opens.
11. Race the engine up to around 3,000 rpm several times, then
stop the engine.,12. When the enkine has cooled down, remove the radiator cap
L/and add coolant up to the brim. Add coolant to the reserve
tank up to the FULL line.

1. Lift up the vehicle.
2.Loosen the radiator drain plug, remove the drain plug from
the rear bank of the engine and remove the radiator cap to
discharge coolant.
3. Follow the same steps 3 to 12 above.
12.DISC BRAKE PADS (Inspect for wear)MOOSBFDCheck for fluid contamination and wear. Replace complete set
of pads if defective.
Caution
The pads for the right and left wheels should be replaced atIIthe same time. Never “split” or intermix brake pad sets. AllUfour pads must be replaced as a complete set.
Thickness of lining (A):
Limit2.0 mm (.08 in.)
13. BRAKE HOSES (Check for deterioration or
leaks)
MOOSBHBInspection of brake hoses and tubing should be included in all
brake service operations.
The hoses should be checked for:
1.Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing or
worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses is exposed by
cracks or abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the hoses
should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of the hose may
occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interference with
wheel, tire or chassis.
14. BALL JOINT AND STEERING LINKAGE SEALS
(Inspect for grease leaks and damage)
MOOSglC1. These components, which are permanently lubricated at
the factory, do not require periodic lubrication. Damaged
seals and boots should be replaced to prevent leakage or
contamination of the grease.
2.Inspect the dust cover and boots for proper sealing, leakageIdand damage. Replace them if defective.

If the master cylinder is empty of brake fluid, bleed the cylinder
as follows.
(1) Fill the reserve tank with brake fluid.
(2) Depress and hold the brake pedal.
(3) Let your fellow worker plug the master cylinder outlet with
finger.
(4) Keeping the condition (3), release the brake pedal.
(5) Repeat steps
(2) to (4) three to four times while filling the
master cylinder with brake fluid.
BLEEDING THE BRAKE PIPE LINE
Bleed the brake pipe line with the engine running in the order
shown in the illustration.
Caution
When adding brake fluid on vehicles with ABS, be sure to
fit the filter to the reserve tank.
FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACE-
MENTM35FQAG
NOTEThe brake pads have wear indicators that contact the brake disc
when the brake pad thickness becomes 2 mm
(.079 in.), and
emit a squealing sound to warn the driver.

1. Visually check the brake pad thickness through the inspec-
tion hole in the caliper body.
Standard value: IO.0 mm
(.39 in.)
Limit: 2.0 mm (.08 in.)
Caution
Replace the pad if worn beyond the limit. At this time,
replace the pads on right and left wheels as a set.
2. Remove the guide pin, raise the caliper assembly, and
support it with a wire, etc.
Caution
The guide pin has been coated with special
Igrease. Do
not wipe off the special grease on the lock pin, and do
not contaminate the lock pin.
3. Remove the following parts from the caliper support.@ Pad and wear indicator assembly
8 F$$ assembly
3 I@ Outer shim
4. Measure the rotating torque of the hub with the pads
removed to determine brake drag torque after pads are
installed.
5. Install the pad clips to the caliper support in position.

6.Clean the piston and, using the special tool, push the piston
into the cylinder.
7.With care not to allow the piston boot to be wedged, lower
the caliper assembly and fit the lock pin.
8. Using the following procedure, check the brake drag
‘d ,
torque.@ Start the engine and depress and hold the brake pedal
for five seconds.@ Stop the engine. (Approx. 200 N
[44 Ibs.])@ Rotate the brake disc ten turns in the forward direction.@ Using a spring balance, check the brake drag force.
9. If the difference between the brake drag force and hub
rotating force exceeds the standard value, disassemble the
piston and check the piston sliding surfaces for dirt and
rust, piston seal for deterioration, and lock pin and guide pin
for sliding motion.
Standard value: 70 N (15.4 Ibs.)
[4 Nm (3 ftlbs.)] or less
1. Visually check the brake pad’ thickness. Through the
opening in the caliper body.
Standard value: 10.0 mm
(-39 in.)
Limit: 2.0 mm
(.08 in.)
Caution
‘L&iReplace the pad if worn beyond the limit. At this time,
replace the pads on right and left wheels as a set.
I2. Remove the clip and, holding the cross spring with hand,
remove the pad pins.
