INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
To install, use a flare nut wrench (commercial service tool).

Always tighten brake tubes to specification when installing. Refer to BR-11, "BRAKE PIPING AND
HOSE" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

After installation of the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), perform the following.
–Refill brake system with new brake fluid. Then bleed the air from the system. Refer to BR-10,
"Bleeding Brake System" .
–Adjust the steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-62, "Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral
Position" .
–Calibrate the decel G sensor. Refer to BRC-62, "Calibration of Decel G Sensor" .

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.

Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.

Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at the connection points.

Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids includ-
ing engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
