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.

- BRAKEBRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY
1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
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: 14 N´m (145 kgf´cm, 10 ft´lbf)
(d) Insert the clevis pin into the clevis and brake pedal, and
install the clip to the clevis pin.
(e) Install the pedal return spring.
(f) Install the No.1 brake line clamp to the body.
(g) Install the No.2 brake line clamp to the body.
2. ADJUST LENGTH OF BOOSTER PUSH ROD
(a) Install the gasket on the master cylinder.
(b) Set SST on the gasket, and lower the pin until its tip slight-
ly touches the piston.
SST 09737-00010
(c) Turn 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
slightly touches the pin head.
HINT:
When loosening the push rod nut, depress the brake pedal
enough so that the push rod sticks out.
3. INSTALL MASTER CYLINDER
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 LEAKS
