Changing Brake Fluid
1. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve.
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.
Refer to section BR.
IRefill with recommended brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
IBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
Balancing Wheels
Adjust wheel balance using the road wheel center.
Radial runout limit:
Steel wheel:
0.5 mm (0.020 in)
Aluminum wheel:
0.3 mm (0.012 in)
Lateral runout limit:
Steel wheel:
0.8 mm (0.032 in)
Aluminum wheel:
0.3 mm (0.012 in)
Tire Rotation
Wheel nuts
: 118 - 147 N×m (12 - 15 kg-m, 87 - 108 ft-lb)
Checking Steering Gear and Linkage
STEERING GEAR
ICheck gear housing and boots for looseness, damage or
grease leakage.
ICheck connection with steering column for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
ICheck ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for
looseness, wear damage or grease leakage.
