BRAKE PIPING AND HOSE

3. Using a flare nut wrench, loosen brake tube flare nuts and dis-
connect brake tube from brake hose.
4. Remove union bolts and disconnect caliper assembly from
brake hose.
5. First remove lock spring from brake tube and strut mounting
positions. Then remove brake hose.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT4”.

Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Connect brake hose to caliper assembly and tighten union bolt to the specified torque.
CAUTION:

Securely connect brake hose to the protrusion on the cylinder body.

Do not reuse the copper washer for union bolt.
2. Connect brake hose to strut and fix with lock spring.
3. Connect brake hose to brake tube. Temporarily tighten flare nuts by hand as far as they will go. Secure
them with the lock spring.
4. Using a flare nut torque wrench, tighten to the specified torque.
5. Refill brake fluid until new brake fluid comes out of each bleed valve.
6. Afterwards, bleed air.

REMOVAL
CAUTION:

Do not allow brake fluid to spill or splash on painted surfaces. Brake fluid can seriously damage
paint. If it gets on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately and wash it away with water.

Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.

Cover brake fluid line joints to prevent dust and other foreign material.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Drain brake fluid gradually from bleed valve of each wheel while depressing brake pedal.
3. Using a flare nut wrench, remove brake tube flare nuts and dis-
connect brake tube from brake hose.
4. Remove lock spring.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.

Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Connect brake hose to the brake tube. Temporarily tighten flare nut by hand as far as it will go.
2. Fix brake hose by lock plate.

WARNING:

Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or
other materials.
CAUTION:

When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.

Be careful not to damage piston boot or spill brake fluid oil on rotor. Always replace shims when
replacing pads.

If shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat, replace them with new shims.

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

Burnish the brake pad contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replac-
ing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-31, "
BRAKE BUR-
NISHING PROCEDURE" .

WARNING:

Clean dust on brake caliper and pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed
air.
CAUTION:

Never depress brake pedal while removing cylinder body because piston will pop out.

Do not remove brake hose and torque member mounting bolts unless disassembling or replacing
caliper assembly. Hang the cylinder body with a wire so that the brake hose is not under tension.

Be careful not to damage piston boot. Do not allow brake fluid to get the rotor.

When replacing brake pads, always replace inner shims, outer shims, and shim covers as a set.

WHEEL SENSORSPFP:47910
Removal and InstallationEFS004GR
REMOVAL
Pay attention to the following when removing sensor.
CAUTION:

As much as possible, avoid rotating sensor when removing it. Pull sensors out without pulling on
sensor harness.

Take care to avoid damaging sensor edges or rotor teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before
removing front or rear wheel hub. This is to avoid damage to sensor wiring and loss of sensor
function.
INSTALLATION
Pay attention to the following when installing sensor. Tighten installation bolts to specified torques.

When installing, check that there is no foreign material such as iron chips on pick-up and mounting hole of
the sensor. Check that no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor. Remove any foreign mate-
rial and clean the mount.

When installing front sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at the three locations
shown in the figure (2 at strut and 1 at body panel). When installed, harness must not be twisted.

Removal and InstallationEFS001CD
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage sensor edge and rotor tooth. Before removing front or rear wheel hub,
remove wheel sensor to avoid sensor wiring damage. Otherwise, sensor may be deactivated.

When removing sensor, avoid rotating it as much as possible. Do not forcibly pull sensor harness.

When installing, check sensor pick-up and mounting hole for foreign material such as iron chips.
Check no foreign material has been caught in sensor rotor. Remove any foreign material found.
Tighten mounting bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
