BRAKE FLUID
BLEEDING
HINT:
If any work is done on the brake system or air in the brake lines
is suspected, 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
Fluid: SAEJ1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT3
2. BLEED MASTER CYLINDER
HINT:
If the master cylinder has been disassembled or the reservoir
becomes empty, bleed 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 outer holes with your finger and release the
brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) 3 or 4 times.
3. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Connect the vinyl tube to the brake caliper.
(b) Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the
bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
(c) At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the
bleeder plug, then release the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) until all the air in the fluid has been bled
out.
(e) Repeat the above procedure to bleed the air out of the
brake line for each wheel.

- BRAKEFRONT BRAKE PAD
BR-21
1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Remove the wheel and temporarily fasten the disc with hub
nuts.
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness through the caliper inspection hole
and replace the pads if they are not within the specification.
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. REMOVE CALIPER
(a) Remove the 2 installation bolts from the torque plate.
(b) Remove the caliper and suspend it securely.
HINT:
Do not disconnect the flexible hose.
4. REMOVE THESE PARTS:
(a) 2 brake pads
(b) 3 anti-squeal shims
(c) Pad wear indicator plate
(d) 4 pad support plates
NOTICE:
The support plates can be used again provided that they
have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or wear,
and have had all rust, dirt and foreign particles cleaned off.
5. CHECK DISC THICKNESS AND RUNOUT
(See page BR-26)
6. INSTALL 4 PAD SUPPORT PLATES
7. INSTALL NEW PADS
NOTICE:
When replacing worn pads, the anti-squeal shims and
wear indicator plates must be replaced together with the
pads.
(a) Install a pad wear indicator plate on the inner pad.
(b) Apply disc brake grease to the anti-squeal shims (See
page BR-23).
(c) Install the 2 anti-squeal shims on the outer pad.
(d) Install the anti-squeal shim on the inner pad

(e) Install inner pad with the pad wear indicator plate facing
upward.
(f) Install outer pad.
NOTICE:
There should be no oil or grease adhering to the friction
surfaces of the pads or the disc.
8. INSTALL CALIPER
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in the piston with a hammer handle or an equiva-
lent.
HINT:
If the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug and
push in the piston while letting some brake fluid escape.
(c) Install the caliper.
(d) Install and torque the 2 installation bolts.
Torque: 25 N´m (255 kgf´cm, 18 ft´lbf)
9. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL
10. CHECK THAT FLUID LEVEL IS AT MAX LINE
