BRAKE SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Care must be taken to replace each part properly as it could affect the perfo\
rmance of the brake
system and result in a driving hazard. Replace the parts with parts of the same part number or
equivalent.
It is very important to keep parts and the area clean when repairing the\
brake system.
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the
IN section.

Author: Date:
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
BRAKE FLUID
BLEEDING
HINT:
If any work is done on the brake system or if air is suspected in
the brake lines, bleed the system of air.
NOTICE:
Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted surface. Wash it
off immediately.
1. FILL BRAKE RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Check the fluid level in the reservoir after bleeding each wheel.
Add fluid, if necessary. Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT3
2. BLEED MASTER CYLINDER
HINT:
If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir
becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.
(a) Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
(b) Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
(c) Block off the outlet plugs with your fingers, and release the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) 3 or 4 times.
3. CONNECT VINYL TUBE TO BRA KE CALIPER BLEED-
ER PLUG
Insert other end of the tube in a half −full container of brake fluid.
NOTICE:
Begin bleeding air from the brake caliper with the longest
hydraulic line.
4. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Slowly depress the brake pedal several times.

If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance.
If the clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.
4. CHECK PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
Release the parking brake.
With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure
the pedal reserve distance, as shown.
Pedal reserve distance, ’a’, at 490 N (50 kgf, 110.2lbf):
More than 68 mm (2.68 in.)
If the reserve distance incorrect, troubleshoot the brake sys-
tem.

BRAKE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL BRAKE BOOSTER
(a) Install the booster and a new gasket.
(b) Install the clevis to the operating rod.
(c) Install and torque the booster installation nuts. Torque: 13 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf)
(d) Install the clevis pin into the clevis and brake pedal, and
install the clip to the clevis pin.
(e) Install the pedal return spring.
2. ADJUST LENGTH OF BOOSTER PUSH ROD
(a) Install a new gasket on the master cylinder.
(b) Set the SST on the gasket, and lower the pin until its tip slightly touches the piston.
SST 09737−00010
(c) Turn the SST upside down, and set it on the booster. SST 09737−00010
(d) Measure the clearance between the booster push rod and pin head (SST).
Clearance: 0 mm (0 in.)
(e) Adjust the booster push rod length until the push rod light-
ly touches the pin head.
3. INSTALL MASTER CYLINDER (See page BR−9 )
4. CONNECT VACUUM HOSE TO BRAKE BOOSTER
5. FILL BRAKE RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID AND
BLEED BRAKE SYSTEM (See page BR−4 )
6. CHECK FOR FLUID LEAKAGE
7. CHECK AND ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL (See page BR−6 )
8. DO OPERATIONAL CHECK (See page BR−17 )
