13. Slowly push and hold the brake pedal. Avoid rapid
pumping of the brake pedal.
14. While the brake pedal is pushed down, loosen the
bleeder valve to purge the air from the caliper.
15. After the air bubbles have escaped into the
container of brake fluid, slightly tighten the rear
bleeder valve.
16. Slowly release the brake pedal. Wait 15 seconds
before proceeding with the next step.
Notice: Keep brake fluid away from painted
surfaces because brake fluid will damage the paint
finish.
17. Repeat Steps 13 - 16 until all of the air is removed.
You will know all of the air is removed when no
bubbles appear in the container when the bleeder
valve is loosened. Keep the master cylinder reser
voir at least one-half full during the bleeding
operation.
18. Tighten the front bleeder valve.
Installation Notice 12. Attach a transparent tube over the rear bleeder
valve at the right rear caliper. Allow the tube to
hang submerged in the brake fluid in a transparent
container. (After the right rear caliper is bled in
the following steps, use this procedure at the left
front, the left rear and the right front bleeder valves.)
19. Bleed the remaining calipers in the following order
: left rear, right front, and left front. Use the
procedure in Steps 12 - 17.
20. After all calipers have been bled, check the brake
pedal for sponginess. If the brake pedal is not firm,
repeat the entire bleeding procedure to correct this
condition.

4B-2 MASTER CYLINDER
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The master cylinder is designed for use in a parallel
split system. One front and one parallel to rear brakes
are served by the primary piston. The opposite front
and rear brakes are served by the secondary piston.
The master cylinder incorporates the functions of the
standard dual master cylinder, plus a low fluid level
indicator. The brake fluid level switch is attached under
the body of the plastic brake master cylinder reservoir.
Notice: Do not use lubricated shop air on the brake
parts, because oil will damage the rubber components.Important:•Replace all the components included in the repair
kits used to service the master cylinder.
Lubricate the rubber parts with clean brake fluid to
ease assembly.
If any hydraulic component is removed or discon-
nected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of
the brake system. Refer to Section 4F, Antilock
Brake System and Traction Control System.
The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated
fasteners.
Perform all service operations on a clean bench,
free from all traces of mineral oil.

4D-2 FRONT BRAKES
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
When the brakes are applied, fluid pressure is sent to
each brake caliper. The pressure at the caliper is ex-
erted equally against the caliper piston. The pressure
applied to the piston is transmitted directly to the
inboard brake pad. This forces the pad against the inner
surface of the brake rotor. At the same time, fluid
pressure within the caliper piston bore forces the caliper
to slide inward on its guide pins. This action brings the
outboard pad into contact with the outer surface of the
brake rotor. This pressure on both sides of the brake
rotor causes friction, bringing the vehicle to a stop.
BRAKE CALIPER
The caliper has a single bore and is mounted to the
steering knuckle with two mounting bolts. Hydraulic
pressure, created by applying the brake pedal, is con-
verted by the caliper to a stopping force. This force
acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the
caliper bore to move the piston outward and to slide
the caliper inward, resulting in a clamping action on
the rotor. This clamping action forces the linings against
the rotor, creating friction to stop the vehicle.Important:
•Replace all components included in the repair kits
used to service the caliper.
Lubricate the rubber parts with clean brake fluid to
ease assembly.
Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as
damage to the rubber components may result.
If any hydraulic component is removed or discon-
nected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of
the brake system. Refer to Section 4F, Antilock
Brake System And Traction Control System.
Replace the pads in axle sets only.
The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated
fasteners.
Perform the service operations on a clean bench,
free from all oily material.
BRAKE PADS
There are two brake pads mounted to each caliper, one
inboard and one outboard. As front disc brake pad wear,
master cylinder reservoir brake fluid level will drop. Fluid
level should be checked after replacing pads.
BRAKE ROTOR
Each front disc brake rotor is vented to help cool it dur-
ing and after brake applications.
