BRAKE FLUID
BLEEDING
HINT:
If any work is done on the brake system or if air is suspected in
the brake lines, 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 was disassembled or if the reservoir be-
comes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.
(a) Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
SST 09751±36011
(b) Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
(c) Block off the outlet plug with your finger, and release the
brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) 3 or 4 times.
3. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Connect the vinyl tube to the caliper.
(b) Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the
bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
(c) At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the
bleeder plug, then release the brake pedal.
Torque: 11 N´m (110 kgf´cm, 8 ft´lbf)
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) until all the air in the fluid has been bled
out.

(e) Repeat the procedure on the previous page to bleed the
air out of brake line for each wheel.
4. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR

REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness and replace pads if not within specifi-
cation.
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. REMOVE CLIP, 2 PINS AND ANTI±RATTLE SPRING
4. REMOVE 2 PADS WITH 4 ANTI±SQUEAL SHIMS
NOTICE:
The anti±rattle spring and clip can be used again provided
that they have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks
or wear, and have had all rust, dirt and foreign particles
cleaned off.
5. CHECK DISC THICKNESS AND RUNOUT
(See page BR±30)
6. INSTALL NEW PADS
NOTICE:
When replacing worn pads, the anti±squeal shims must be
replaced together with the pads.
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in the pistons with a monkey wrench handle or
equivalent.
HINT:
Tape the monkey wrench handle before use.
Always change the pad on one wheel at a time as there
is a possibility of the opposite piston flying out.
If the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug
and push in the piston while letting some brake fluid es-
cape.
(c) Install the 4 anti±squeal shims to new pads.
