Tighten the adjusting nut until the rear wheels drag
slightly when turned.

Release the parking brake lever fully, and check that
the rear wheels do not drag when turned. Readjust
if necessary.
Make sure the parking brakes are fully spplied when
the parking brake lever is pulled up fully.
Install the cap onto the parking brake cable end, and
reinstall the rear console.

Bleeding
CAUTION:
. Oo not reuse the drsined fluid,
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using
a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and
decrease the lile of the system,
a Make sure no dirt or other foreign matt€t is allowed
to contaminate the brske fluid.
. Do not spill brake fluid on tho car, it may damage the
pain; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off
immediately with water.
NOTE: The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at
the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of bleeding pro-
cedure, and checked after bleeding each brake caliper.
Add fluid as required.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at
the MAX (upper) level line.
MAX (UPPER) I.IVELLINE
CYIINDER
Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal sever-al times, then apply steady pressure.
Loosen the brake bleed screw to allow air to escapefrom the system. Then tighten the bleed screw se-curely.
Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequenceshown below, until atr bubbles no longer appear inthe fluid.
Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX(upperl level line,
