REMOVAL
CAUTION:
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
lAll hoses must be free from excessive bending, twisting
and pulling.
1. Connect vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal.
3. Remove flare nut connecting brake tube and hose, then with-
draw lock spring.
4. Cover openings to prevent entrance of dirt whenever discon-
necting brake line.
INSPECTION
Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
lRefill with new brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4*1.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Tighten all flare nuts and connecting bolts.
Flare nut:
: 15 - 18 N´m (1.5 - 1.8 kg-m, 11 - 13 ft-lb)
Connecting bolt:
: 17 - 19 N´m (1.7 - 2.0 kg-m, 12 - 14 ft-lb)
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder
valve.
3. Bleed air. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.
*1: Refer to MA section (``Fluids and Lubricants'', ``RECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'').

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
lRefill with new brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4*1.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Replace damaged load sensing valve linkage as an assem-
bly.
2. When disassembling, apply multi-purpose grease to linkage.
3. Tighten all flare nuts and bolts.

INSPECTION
1. Ensure vehicle is unladen condition*.
* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
2. Have a driver sit in the driver's seat and one person sit on
the rear of the vehicle. Then have the person on the rear of
the vehicle slowly get off. This is necessary to stabilize sus-
pension deflection.
3. Adjust length ``L'' as follows:
a. Loosen stopper bolt locknut (2WD JIDOSHA KIKI make).
b. Pull lever against stopper bolt and adjust by turning stopper
bolt.
c. Tighten stopper bolt locknut (2WD JIDOSHA KIKI make).
Length ``L'':
2WD models
Approx. 187.3 mm (7.37 in)
4WD models
Approx. 158.1 mm (6.22 in)
4. Install pressure gauge to front and rear brake air bleeder.
5. Bleed air from the Tool.
6. Raise front brake pressure to 4,904 kPa (49.0 bar, 50
kg/cm
2, 711 psi) and 9,807 kPa (98.1 bar, 100 kg/cm2, 1,422
psi) and check rear brake pressure.
Rear brake pressure:
Refer to table below.
7. Set down weight slowly over axle center so that sensor
spring length becomes the same as when in loaded condi-
tion (refer to table below). Check rear brake pressure in the
same way described in step 6.

BRAKE PEDAL AND BRACKET
BR-10

Inspection
Check brake pedal for following items:
lBrake pedal bend
lClevis pin deformation
lCrack of any welded portion
lCrack or deformation of clevis pin stopper
Adjustment
Check brake pedal free height from melt sheet.
H: Free height
Refer to SDS, BR-80.
D: Depressed height
Refer to SDS, BR-80.
Under force of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb)
with engine running
C: Clearance between pedal stopper and
threaded end of stop lamp switch
0.3 - 1.0 mm (0.012 - 0.039 in)
A: Pedal free play at clevis
1-3mm(0.04 - 0.12 in)
If necessary, adjust brake pedal free height.
1. Loosen lock nut and adjust pedal free height by turning brake
booster input rod. Then tighten lock nut.
lMake sure that the tip of input rod stays inside.
2. Loosen lock nut and adjust clearance ``C'' with stop lamp
switch respectively. Then tighten lock nuts.
3. Check pedal free play.
lMake sure that stop lamp is off when pedal is released.
4. Check brake pedal's depressed height while engine is run-
ning. If lower than specification, check for leaks, air in
system, or damage to components (master cylinder, wheel
cylinder, etc.). Then make necessary repairs.

Removal
CAUTION:
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
lIn the case of brake fluid leakage from the master
cylinder, disassemble the cylinder. Then check piston
cups for deformation or scratches and replace neces-
sary parts.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve, depressing
brake pedal to empty fluid from master cylinder.
3. Remove brake pipe flare nuts.
4. Remove master cylinder mounting nuts.
