5. Reinstall any part removed.
6. Adjust control cable. Refer to AT-352.
7. Check continuity of PNP switch. Refer to AT-334.
8. Refill transaxle with ATF and check fluid level.
9. Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that tran-
saxle operates correctly. With parking brake applied, idle
engine. Move selector lever through ªNº to ªDº, to ª2º, to ª1º and
ªRº positions. A slight shock should be felt through the hand
gripping the selector each time the transaxle is shifted.
10. Perform road test. Refer to AT-85.

Checking Brake Fluid LevelNJBR0006+Check fluid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max
and Min lines on reservoir tank.
+If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
+Release parking brake lever and see if brake warning lamp
goes off. If not, check brake system for leaks.
SBR389C
Checking Brake LineNJBR0007CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
SBR419C
Changing Brake FluidNJBR0008CAUTION:
+Refill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
+Always keep fluid level higher than minimum line on res-
ervoir tank.
+Never reuse drained brake fluid.
+Be 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. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
3. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal while keeping reservoir level higher than minimum
line by adding new brake fluid.
4. Repeat until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder
valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-9.
Brake Burnishing ProcedureNJBR0036Burnish the brake contact surfaces according to the following pro-
cedure after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replac-
ing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
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

1. Release parking brake lever fully, then remove drum.
If drum is hard to remove, the following procedures
should be carried out.
a.Remove plug. To make shoe clearance, push shoe hold-
down spring to free toggle lever.
SBR020A
b.Install two bolts as shown. Tighten the two bolts gradually.
SBR214B
2. After removing retainer, remove spring by rotating shoes.
+Be careful not to damage wheel cylinder piston boots.
+Be careful not to damage parking brake cable when sepa-
rating it.
3. Remove adjuster.
4. Disconnect parking brake cable from toggle lever.
SBR329C
5. Remove retainer ring with a suitable tool. Then separate toggle
lever and brake shoe.

Inspection Ð Wheel CylinderNJBR0130+Check wheel cylinder for leakage.
+Check for wear, damage and loose conditions. Replace if any
such condition exists.

3. Shorten adjuster by rotating it.
+To tighten loosened brake shoes, first, insert a screw driver in
the direction shown in the left. Then, move the adjuster in the
direction shown by the arrow while disengaging the tooth con-
tact. Never tap the area E.
4. Connect parking brake cable to toggle lever.
5. Install all parts.
Be careful not to damage wheel cylinder piston boots.
6. Check all parts are installed properly.
Pay attention to direction of adjuster assembly.
7. Install brake drum.
8. When installing new wheel cylinder or overhauling wheel
cylinder, bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-9.
9. Adjust parking brake. Refer to BR-48.

+It 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.
+Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings,
or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to ªBrake Burnishing Procedureº, ªON-VEHICLE
SERVICEº, BR-8.

1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove brake cable mounting bolt and lock spring.
3. Release parking brake control lever, then disconnect cable
from the caliper.
4. Remove upper pin bolt.
5. Open cylinder body downward. Then remove pad retainers,
and inner and outer shims.
Standard pad thickness:
9.3 mm (0.366 in)
Pad wear limit:
2.0 mm (0.079 in)

6. When installing new pads, push piston into cylinder body by
gently turning piston clockwise, as shown.
Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
