BRAKE FLUID
BLEEDING
HINT:
If any work is done on the brake system or if air in the brake lines
is suspected, bleed the air from the system.
NOTICE:
Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted surface. Wash it
off immediately.
1. FILL BRAKE RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Check the fluid level in the reservoir after bleeding each wheel.
Add fluid, if necessary.
Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3
2. BLEED MASTER CYLINDER
HINT:
If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir
becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.
(a) Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
SST 09023-00100
(b) Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
(c) Block off the outlet plugs with your fingers, and release
the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) 3 or 4 times.
3. CONNECT VINYL TUBE TO BRAKE CALIPER BLEED-
ER PLUG
Insert other end of the tube in a half-full container of brake fluid.
NOTICE:
Bleed air of the rear brake first. If front brake is bled first,
rear brake air cannot be bled.
4. BLEED BRAKE LINE

(b) While an assistant depresses the pedal, loosen the
bleeder plug until fluid starts to run out. Then tighten the
bleeder plug.
(c) Repeat this procedure until there are no more air bubbles
in the fluid.
Bleeder plug tightening torque:
8.3 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 74 in.´lbf)
5. REPEAT PROCEDURE FOR EACH WHEEL
6. w/ VSC:
BLEED PRECHARGE PUMP
CAUTION:
When repairing the brake master cylinder or precharge
pump, bleed the precharge pump of the air.
(a) Install the SST to the reservoir.
SST 09992-00242, 09992-00350
(b) Using SST, apply pressure to the reservoir.
Pressure: 98.1 kpa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14.2 psi)
(c) Disconnect the precharge pump connector.
(d) Connect ML+ (2) terminal to the battery positive (+) and
ML- (1) terminal to the battery negative (-), and activate
the precharge pump about 20 seconds.
(e) Remove the SST from the reservoir.
(f) Connect the vinyl tube to the front brake caliper RH, and
loosen the bleeder plug.
(g) Activate the precharge pump again until there are no
more air bubbles in the fluid.
Bleeder plug tightening torque:
8.3 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 74 in.´lbf)
(h) Connect the precharge pump connector.
7. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3

DISASSEMBLY
1. REMOVE SET RING AND CYLINDER BOOT
Using a screwdriver, remove the set ring and cylinder boot from
the caliper.
2. REMOVE PISTON
(a) Place a piece of cloth or similar, between the piston and
the caliper.
(b) Use compressed air to remove the piston from the cylin-
der.
CAUTION:
Do not place your fingers in front of the piston when using
compressed air.
3. REMOVE PISTON SEAL
Using a screwdriver, remove the piston seals from the cylinder.
4. REMOVE SLIDING PINS AND DUST BOOTS
(a) Remove the 2 sliding pins from the torque plate.
NOTICE:
At the time of reassembly, insert the sliding pin with sliding
bushing into the top side.
(b) Using a screwdriver and hammer, tap out the 2 dust
boots.
HINT:
At the time of reaseembly, use a 24 mm socket wrench and tap
in 2 new dust boots into the torque plate.
NOTICE:
At the time of reassembly, confirm that the metal plate por-
tion of the dust boot fits snugly in the torque plate.

INSPECTION
1. MEASURE PAD LINING THICKNESS
Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.
Standard thickness: 11.0 mm (0.433 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
Replace the pad if the pad's thickness is at the minimum thick-
ness or less, or if the pad has severe, uneven wear.
2. MEASURE DISC THICKNESS
Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.
Standard thickness: 28.0 mm (1.102 in.)
Minimum thickness: 26.0 mm (1.024 in.)
Replace the disc if the disc's thickness is at the minimum thick-
ness or less. Replace the disc or grind it on a lathe if it is badly
scored or worn unevenly.
3. MEASURE DISC RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10 mm (0.39 in.)
from the outer edge of the disc.
Maximum disc runout: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the disc's runout is at the maximum value or greater, check the
bearing play in the axial direction and check the axle hub runout
(See page SA-9). If the bearing play and axle hub runout are
not abnormal, adjusting the disc runout or grind it on a ºOn-Carº
brake lathe.
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST DISC RUNOUT
(a) Remove the mounting bolts and torque plate from the
knuckle.
(b) Remove the hub nuts and the disc. Reinstall the disc 1/5
of a turn round from its original position on the hub. Install
and torque the hub nuts.
Torque: 103 N´m (1,050 kgf´cm, 76 ft´lbf)
Remeasure the disc runout. Make a note of the runout
and the disc's position on the hub.
(c) Repeat (b) until the disc has been installed on the 3 re-
maining hub positions.
(d) If the minimum runout recorded in (b) and (c) is less than
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.), install the disc in that position.
(e) If the minimum runout recorded in (b) and (c) is greater
than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.), replace the disc and repeat
step 3.
(f) Install the torque plate and torque the mounting bolts.
Torque: 107 N´m (1,090 kgf´cm, 79 ft´lbf)
