BRAKE FLUID

Bleeding Brake SystemBFS000BK
CAUTION:

Carefully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank during
bleeding operation.

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”. Make sure it is
at least half way at all times while bleeding air out of sys-
tem.

Place a container under master cylinder not to spill brake
fluid.

Turn ignition switch to the OFF and disconnect connector
for ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
cable from negative terminal before working.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to rear right brake caliper bleed valve.
2. Fully depress brake pedal 4 or 5 times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to bleed air in
brake line, and then tighten it immediately.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
5. Tighten bleed valve to the specified torque. Refer to front disc
brake: BR-26, "
Components" , rear disc brake: BR-33, "Compo-
nents" .
6. From step 1 to 5 above, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled
at least half way, bleed air from brake hydraulic line bleed valves
in the following order:
Rear right brake→Front left brake→Rear left brake→Front right brake

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Output Rod Length Inspection
1. Using a handy vacuum pump, apply a vacuum of −66.7 kPa (−
500 mmHg, −19.69 inHg) to brake booster.
2. Check output rod length.
INSTALLATION
1. Loosen lock nut to adjust input rod length so that the length “B”
(shown in the figure) satisfies the specified value.
2. Temporarily tighten lock nut after adjusting the length “B” to the
specified value, and then install brake booster on dash panel.
CAUTION:
Always install gasket between brake booster and dash-
board panel.
3. Install brake booster and brake pedal assembly nuts and bolt,
and then tighten to the specified torque. Refer to BR-7,
"Removal and Installation" .
4. Connect brake pedal with clevis of input rod.
5. Install brake master cylinder. Refer to BR-14, "
Removal and Installation" .
6. Install vacuum hose. Refer to BR-24, "
VACUUM LINES" .
7. Adjust brake pedal free height and the play of brake pedal. Refer to BR-6, "
Inspection and Adjustment" .
8. Tighten input rod lock nut to the specified torque. Refer to BR-22, "
COMPONENTS" .
9. Refill with new brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to BR-11, "
Hydraulic Circuit" . Standard dimension when applying vacuum of −66.7
kPa (−500 mmHg, −19.69 inHg) (Reference value)

It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.

Do not damage piston boot.

If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.

Always replace shim and inner shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.

Keep rotor clean from brake fluid.

Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer toBR-32, "
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" .
Removal and Installation of Brake PadBFS000BZ
REMOVAL
1. Remove tyres from vehicle.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Suspend cylinder body with wire, and remove pads, pad retain-
ers, shims, and shim cover from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing pad retainers from torque member, lift pad
retainers in the direction by the arrow (shown in the figure)
so as not to damage it.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based
grease to the both sides of inner shim and outer shim, install
inner shim and inner shim cover to inner pad and outer shim to
outer pad.
CAUTION:
Securely install shim cover according to shim mounting
direction.
2. Install pad retainers and pads to torque member.
CAUTION:
Securely assemble pad retainers so that they are not being
lifted up from torque member.
3. Press in piston until pads can be installed, and then install cylin-
der body to torque member.
NOTE:
Using a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily
press piston in.
CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new ones, press in piston until
pads can be installed. In this case, carefully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank because
brake fluid will return to master cylinder reservoir tank.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-26, "
Components" .
5. Secure disc rotor with wheel nut. Depress brake pedal a few times until it gets a responsive touch.
6. Check front disc brake for drag.
7. Install tyres to vehicle.
