13. Disconnect drain hose.
14. Remove ventilator ducts, defroster nozzle and ducts.
15. Remove steering member mounting bolts, nut and harness clips.
16. Remove the steering member, and then remove heater & cooling unit assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of A/C piping with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing
it.

Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in axial direction.

Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.

After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

CAUTION:

All hoses and piping (tubes) must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.

Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.

The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble
the parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it way cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

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

When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets
in.

Refill with new brake fluid “ DOT 3 ”.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Inspection After InstallationAFS001N1
CAUTION:
If a leak is detected at the connections, retighten it or, if necessary, replace the damaged part.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses), and connections for fluid leaks, damage, twist, deformation, contact with other parts, and loose connections. Replace any damage parts.
2. While depressing brake pedal under a force of 785 N (80 kg, 177 lb) with engine running for approximately 5 seconds, check for fluid leakage from each part. : 23.5 N·m (2.4 kg-m, 17 ft-lb)

WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:

While removing cylinder body never depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.

It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a 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 shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.

Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-25, "
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" .
