2. Remove fuel filter, using a suitable tool.
3. Wipe clean fuel filter mounting surface on fuel filter bracket
and smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
4. Screw fuel filter on until O-ring touches mounting surface,
then tighten an additional 2/3 turn. Follow instructions on fuel
filter.
5. Install fuel filter sensor to new fuel filter.
6. Bleed air from fuel line.
7. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Set a container under fuel filter.
2. Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
3. Bleed air.
FUEL SYSTEM AIR BLEEDING
1. Move priming pump up and down until there is suddenly
more resistance in the movement. Then stop this action and
start the engine.
2. If engine does not operate smoothly after being started, rev
it two or three times.
When refilling empty fuel tank, bleed air out of fuel system.
Changing Air Cleaner Filter
Unfasten clamps to change air cleaner filter.
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning.

Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks
If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks, and
brake pads for wear.
Checking Brake System
Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for security,
leaks, chafing, abrasion, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake Fluid
1. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each air bleeder
valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system
to refill brake fluid.
Refer to section BR.

Refill with recommended brake fluid“DOT 4”.

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

Avoid skin contamination and ingestion.
Checking Brake Booster, Vacuum Hoses,
Connections and Check Valve
Check vacuum lines, connections and check valve for security,
air tightness, chafing and deterioration.
Checking Disc Brake
Check condition of disc brake components.
ROTOR
Check condition and thickness.

lIncomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur.
When this happens, bleed air again.
a. Generation of air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Generation of clicking noise in oil pump
c. Excessive buzzing in oil pump
While the vehicle is stationary or while moving the steering wheel
slowly, fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This noise
is inherent in this steering system, and it will not affect perfor-
mance or durability of the system.
Checking Steering Wheel Turning Force
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating tempera-
ture. [Make sure temperature of fluid is approximately 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).]
Tires need to be inflated to normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360É from neutral position.
Steering wheel turning force:
44.1 N (4.5 kg, 9.9 lb) or less
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, check
rack sliding force to detect condition of steering gear assem-
bly.
a. Disconnect steering column lower joint and knuckle arms
from the gear.
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has
reached normal operating temperature.
c. While pulling tie-rod slowly from the neutral position, make
sure rack sliding force is within specification.
Rack sliding force:
284 N (29 kg, 64 lb) or less
6. If rack sliding force is not within specification, replace steer-
ing gear assembly.
