If brake fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off im- mediately. 1. Modify the brake pipe tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination. (Refer to section GI) "Torque Formulas" 2. Disconnect~connect the brake pipe fromlto the master cylinder by using the SST. 3. Tighten the brake pipe by using the SST. Tightening torque: 13--22 N-m (1 3-2.2 kgf-m, 9.4--16 ft-lbf) Installation note Master cylinder Inspect the push rod clearance as follows. 1. Turn the nut of the SST clockwise to fully retract the SST gauge rod. Attach the SST to the power brake unit. Tightening torque: 9.8-15.7 N.m (1 .&I .6 kgf.m, 7.2-11.6 ft4bf) 2. Apply 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg) vacuum using a vacuum pump. 3. Turn the adjusting nut of the SST counterclockwise until the gauge rod just contacts the push rod end of the power brake unit. Push lightly on the end of the gauge rod to be sure it is seated. Verify that there is no gap between the adjusting nut and SST body. Gartner Banana

BRAKE SYSTEM ADJUSTING NUT 1 2. Turn the adjusting nut until the SST body sets squarely on the master cylinder. (Turn only enough for the body to touch.) I 3. Measure and record height 02 of the gauge rod. I 4. Subtract Dl from 02 and, by using the SST, turn the nut to shorten the power booster push rod an amount equal to the sum. Inspection Fluid level sensor connector 1. Disconnect the sensor connector. 2. Connect an ohmmeter to the connector. 3. Starting with the fluid level above the MIN mark on the reservoir, verify that there is no continuity. 4. Remove the brake fluid and verify continuity when the level is below the MIN mark. 5. Replace the sensor if necessary. Gartner Banana

BRAKE SYSTEM Disassembly / Assembly / lnspection 1. After removing the brake fluid, disassemble in the order shown in the figure. 2. lnspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary. 3. Assemble in the reverse order of removal, referring to Assembly Note. Caution The brake master cylinder Is made of aluminum, and can be easily damaged by tightening in a vise. When securing the master cylinder in a vise, tighten only the master cylinder flange. 1. Fluid level sensor connector 7. Snap ring Inspection ................... page P-17 8.

BRAKE SYSTEM P (20 kgf, 44 Ibf) (20 kgf, 44 Ibf) Loaded condition 1. Start the engine. 2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kgf, 44 Ibf). 3. With the brake pedal depressed, stop the engine when the vacuum gauge indicates 66.7 kPa I500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg). 4. Observe the vacuum gauge for 15 seconds. If the gauge indicates 63.4-66.6 kPa (475--500 mmHg, 18.7-19.7 inHg), the unit is operating. b) Checking for hydraulic pressure 1. If with the engine stopped (vacuum 0 kPa (0 mmHg, 0 inHg}) the fluid pressure is within specification, the unit is operating. 1 Pedal force Fluid pressure 2. Start the engine. Depress the brake pedal when the vac- uum reaches 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg). If the fluid pressure is within specification, the unit is operat- ing. 1 96 N {20 kgf, 44 Ibf) I Pedal force I Fluid pressure I 1,079-1,177 kPa {I 1-1 2 kgf/cm2, 156-1 71 psi) lnspection of Check Valve 196 N {20 kgf, 44 Ibf) Note There is an arrow on the hose to indicate direction of hose installation. 5,199--5,494 kPa {53-56 kgf/cm2, 754--796 psi} lnspection 1. Disconnect both ends of the vacuum hose. 2. Apply suction and pressure to the hose from the engine side. Verify that air flows only toward the engine. If air passes in both directions or not at all, replace the vac- uum hose (along with the check valve). Gartner Banana

P BRAKE SYSTEM Removal / Installation 1. Remove in the order shown in the figure. 2. Install in the reverse order of removal. 3. Take the following steps after installation: (1) Check and adust the push rod and piston clearance. (Standard: refer to page P-12 1 ABS: refer to page P-15.) (2) Add fluid and bleed the air. (Refer to page P-7.) (3) Check all parts for fluid leakage. (4) Check and adjust the brake pedal height and free play. (Refer to page P-9.) (5) Make an on-vehicle check of the unit. (Refer to page P-20.) (6) Check that the vacuum hose does not contact other parts. ABS 1~22 (1.3--2.2,~.&16} STANDARD 35UOPX-01 1. Fluid level sensor connector 5. Clevis tin 2.

Connect the SST and the adapters to the brake pipes as shown in the figure. 2. Bleed the air from the brake system. (Refer to page P-7.) 3. Measure the fluid pressure from the master cylinder and to the rear brakes. If not as specified, replace the valve assembly. Specification 4. Add brake fluid and bleed the air.
