smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
4. Screw fuel filter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
and additional more than 2/3 turn.
5. Install fuel filter sensor to new filter.
6. Bleed air from fuel line.
Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.

2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each air bleeder
valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to
refill brake fluid.

Checking Fluid Leakage
Check the lines for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of fluid in oil tank rises to 60 to 80ÉC
(140 to 176ÉF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each ªlockº position for five seconds and
carefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
4. If fluid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
Bleeding Hydraulic System
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Add fluid into oil tank to specified level. Meanwhile quickly turn
steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering
stoppers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
IIncomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When
this happens, bleed air again.
a. Generation of air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Generation of clicking noise in oil pump
c. Excessive buzzing in oil pump
While the vehicle is stationary or while moving the steering wheel
slowly, fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This noise is
inherent in this steering system, and it will not affect performance
or durability of the system.
