Installation=NBBR0027CAUTION:
IBe careful not to deform or bend brake pipes during instal-
lation of booster.
IReplace clevis pin if damaged.
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 3º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
ITake care not to damage brake booster mounting bolt
thread when installing. Due to the narrow angle of
installation, the threads can be damaged by the dash
panel.
1. Before fitting booster, temporarily adjust clevis to dimension
shown.
2. Fit booster, then secure mounting nuts (brake pedal bracket to
brake booster) lightly.
3. Connect brake pedal and booster input rod with clevis pin.
4. Secure mounting nuts.
Specification: 13 - 16 N´m (1.3 - 1.6 kg-m,9-12ft-lb)
5. Install master cylinder. Refer to ªInstallationº in ªMASTER
CYLINDERº, BR-18.
6. Adjust brake pedal height and free play. Refer to ªAdjustmentº
in ªBRAKE PEDAL AND BRACKETº, BR-14.
7. Secure lock nut for clevis.
: 16 - 22 N´m (1.6 - 2.2 kg-m, 12 - 16 ft-lb)
8. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-8.

Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
IWhen cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal,
or piston will pop out.
IBe careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims when replacing pads.
IIf shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat,
replace them with new shims.
IIt is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
ICarefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.

InstallationNBBR0037CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 3º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Install caliper assembly.
2. Install brake hose to caliper securely.
3. Install all parts and secure all bolts.
4. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-8.
Brake Burnishing ProcedureNBBR0086When experiencing soft brake pedal feel at very low mileage, or
after replacing the rotor, burnish the brake pad contact surfaces
according to the following procedures.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic con-
ditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31
MPH).
2. Use medium brake pedal/foot effort to bring the vehicle to a
complete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH). Adjust brake pedal/foot
pressure such that vehicle stopping time equals 3 to 5 sec-
onds.
3. To cool the brake system, drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31
MPH) for 1 minute without stopping.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 10 times or more to complete the burnish-
ing procedure.
