1) Clean crankshaft completely and check for
cracks by means of red lead check etc., and
replace if defective.
2) Measure the crankshaft bend, and correct or
replace if it exceeds the limit.
CAUTION:
If a suitable V-block is not available, install #1

fluid must be used.
ICover bleeder with waste cloth, when loos-
ening it, to prevent brake fluid from being
splashed over surrounding parts.
IAvoid mixing different brands of brake fluid
to prevent degrading the quality of the fluid.
IBe careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into
the reservoir tank.
NOTE:
IDuring bleeding operation, keep the clutch
reserve tank filled with brake fluid to eliminate entry
of air.
IClutch pedal operating must be very slow.
IFor convenience and safety, it is advisable to
have two man working.IThe amount of brake fluid required is approxi-
mately 70 m(2.4 US fl oz, 2.5 Imp fl oz) for total
clutch system.
1) Either jack-up vehicle and place a safety stand
under it, or lift-up vehicle.
2) Remove both front and rear wheels.
3) Draw out the brake fluid from reserve tank with
syringe.
4) Refill reservoir tank with recommended brake
fluid.
Recommended brake fluid:
