REMOVAL
NOTICE:

The hub bearing could be damaged if it is subjected
to the vehicle weight, such as when moving the ve-
hicle with the drive shaft removed.
Therefore, if it is absolutely necessary to place the ve-
hicle weight on the hub bearing, first support it with
the SST.

After disconnecting the drive shaft from the axle hub,
work carefully so as not to damage the ABS speed
sensor rotor serrations on the drive shaft.

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.

When bleeding, keep the amount of the fluid within the
line of reservoir between Min. and Max.
NOTICE:

Do not let brake fluid remain on painted surfaces.
Wash it off immediately.

With the reservoir cap removed, when depressing the
brake pedal, the fluid will spray.
1. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS NO. 116 DOT3
2. RELEASE PRESSURE FROM POWER SUPPLY SYS-
TEM
HINT:
If the hydraulic brake booster has been disassembled, discon-
nect the brake line from the hydraulic brake booster or if the res-
ervoir becomes empty, bleed the hydraulic brake booster.
(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF, depress the brake pedal
more than 40 times.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the pump stops af-
ter 30 to 40 seconds.
NOTICE:
When the pump does not stop, repeat step (a) and (b) again.
3. BLEED AIR
(a) Turning the ignition switch OFF, bleed the right and left
front brake caliper.
HINT:
Perform air bleeding for each wheel, depress the brake pedal
more than 20 times or more for each.
(b) Turning the ignition switch ON, check that the pump motor
stops.
(c) Fully open the bleeder plug of the right or left rear brake
cylinder and drain the fluid while depressing the brake
pedal for 3 seconds.
HINT:

Perform air bleeding for both wheels on the right or left
side and then do the same on the other side.

It is not necessary to depress the pedal continuously, as
brake fluid flows out by first depressing.
(d) Release the brake pedal and wait until the pump motor
stops.
(e) Repeat step (c) and (d) 7 times or more.
(f) Tighten the bleeder plug of the rear brake cylinder.
Torque: 8.5 N´m (87 kgf´cm, 75 in.´lbf)
(g) While depressing the brake pedal, let air out from the rear
brake cylinder mentioned in (f).

(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in the piston with a hammer handle or similar imple-
ment.
