Brake System Rubber Parts and Brake Booster
@ Brake Boost€r
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
lf the brakes do not work properly, check the brake
booster. Replace the brake booster as an assembly if it
does not work properly or if there are signs of leakage
@ Piston cup and Pre3sure cup Inspection
. Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage,
Replace the master cylinder as an assembly if the
pedal does not work properly or if there is damage
or signs of fluid leakage.
. Check for a difference in brake pedal stroke betlveen
quick and slow brake applications, Replace the mas-
ter cylinder if there is a difference in pedal stroke.
O Brake Hoses
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
Replace the brake hose with a new one if it is darnaged
or leaking.
@ Caliper PBton Seal and Pkton Boots
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
lf the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes drag.
or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage, disassem-
ble and inspect the brake caliper. Replace the boots
and seals with new ones whenever the brake caliper is
disassembled.

Pedal Height
1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen thebrake switch locknut, and back oll the brake switchuntil it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Turn up the jloor mat, and measure the pedal heightfrom the lett srde center of the pedal pad.

3. Loosen the pushrod locknut, and screw the pushrod
in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height
from the floor is reached. After adjustment, tighten
the locknut firmly. Do not adjust the pedal height
with the pushrod depressed.

Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully
depressed (threaded end touching the pad on thepedal arm). Then back off the switch 1/4 turn tomake 0.3 mm (0.01 in) of clearance between thethreaded end and the pad. Tighten the locknut firm-ly. Connect the brake switch connector.
CAUTION: Make sure that the brake lights go oflwhen the pedal is released.
5. Check the brake pedal free play as described below.
Pedal Free Play
1. Stop the engine, and inspect the play on the pedal
pad by pushing the pedal by hand.
Free Play: 1 - 5 mm {l/16 - 3/16 in)
2. lf the pedal free play is out of specification, adjustthe brake switch. tf the pedal free play is insuffi_cient, it may result in brake drag.

Adjustment
NOTE: After rear brake caliper servicing.loosen the park-
ing brake adjusting nut, start the engine, and depress the
brake pedal several times to set the self-adjusting brake
before adiusting the parking brake

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,

Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness ot
each brake pad lining. The measurement does not
include pad backing plate thickness.
Brako Pad Thickness:
St8ndard:
Type R Modol:
10.5 - 11.5 mm {0.41 - 0.45 in}
All except Type R Model:
9.5 - 10.5 mm (0.37 - O.ial inl
Service Limit: 1.6 mm (0.06 inl
lf the brake pad thickness is less than the service
limit, replace the front pads as a set,
Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check tor grooves and cracks.
Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
Install the pad retainers.
