Bleeding Brake System
CAUTION:
ICarefully monitor brake fluid level at master cylinder dur-
ing bleeding operation.
IIf master cylinder is suspected to have air inside, bleed air
from master cylinder first. Refer to ªInstallationº, ªMAS-
TER CYLINDERº, BR-16.
IFill reservoir with recommended brake fluid ªDOT 4º. Make
sure it is full at all the times while bleeding air out of sys-
tem.
IPlace a container under master cylinder to avoid spillage
of brake fluid.
IFor models with ABS, turn ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion and disconnect ABS fuse or battery cable.
IBleed air in the following order:
Load Sensing Valve air bleeder (Models equipped with LSV)
"
Left rear brake
"
Right rear brake
"
Left front brake
"
Right front brake
1. Connect a transparent vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Fully depress brake pedal several times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, open air bleeder valve to release
air.
4. Close air bleeder valve.
5. Release brake pedal slowly.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until clear brake fluid comes out of
air bleeder valve.
7. Tighten air bleeder valve

Removal
CAUTION:
IUse suitable tool for assembly and disassembly of brake
lines and hoses.
IBe 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. DO
NOT RUB IT OFF.
IAll hoses must be free from excessive bending, twisting
and pulling.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal.
3. Remove flare nut securing brake tube to hose, then withdraw
lock spring.
4. Cover openings to prevent entrance of dirt whenever discon-
necting hydraulic line.
Inspection
Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
Installation
CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Tighten all flare nuts and connecting bolts.
Flare nut:
:9-11N×m (0.9 - 1.1 kg-m, 78 - 95 in-lb)
Connecting bolt:
:17-20N×m (1.7 - 2.0 kg-m, 12 - 14 ft-lb)
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder valve.
3. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-8.

Installation
CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.

ICheck level in brake fluid reservoir.
1. Tighten provisionally flare nuts.
2. Tighten LSV bolts.
:20-24N×m (2.0 - 2.4 kg-m, 14 - 17 ft-lb)
3. Tighten flare nuts.
:15-18N×m (1.5 - 1.8 kg-m, 11 - 13 ft-lb)
4. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, ªBRAKE
HYDRAULIC LINEº, BR-8.
5. Adjust load sensing valve (LSV). Refer to ªInspection and
Adjustmentº, ªLOAD SENSING VALVEº, BR-12.

1. Before adjusting load sensing valve spring length, check for
proper installation and abnormal wear of brake pads and
shoes.
2. Remove the air bleeder from the wheel caliper, and install a
pressure gauge (A) to the bleed valve hole.
3. Bleed the air from the front brake piping.
4. Remove the air bleed valve from the rear wheel cylinder, and
install a pressure gauge (B) to the bleed valve hole.

5. Bleed the air from the rear brake piping.
6. To adjust the LSV correctly, proceed as follows:
a. With unladen vehicle (12 liters of fuel, radiator coolant and
engine oil are full). Spare tire, hand tools and mats in desig-
nated positions. Check the length of LSV spring ªLº.
b. If the spring length is different from that specified, move the
regulation lever (2) until the specified value is obtained. Move
the LSV lever (1) until it contacts the stopper bolt and recheck
the spring length.
Sensor spring length ªLº
Hardtop: 201 mm (7.913 in)
Wagon: 197.5 mm (7.776 in)
NOTE: Do not disturb stopper bolt.
c. Start the engine and run it at idling speed.
d. Slowly depress the brake pedal until an input pressure of 4,805
kPa (48.1 bar, 49 kg/cm
2, 697 psi) is obtained (at the front axle
pressure gauge) and an output pressure of 1,736 - 2,501 kPa
(18 - 26 bar, 17.7 - 25.5 kg/cm
2, 252 - 363 psi) is obtained (at
the rear axle pressure gauge).
If the output pressure at the rear axle pressure gauge is not within
the specified values, adjust LSV spring length as described under
b) until the output pressure measured is within the specified range.
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)
Front axle* 4,805 (48.1, 49.0, 697)
Rear axle* 1,736 - 2,501 (18 - 26, 17.7 - 25.5, 252 - 363)
