Air Bleeding of Brake System
Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever it
entered hydraulic brake system.
Hydraulic lines of brake system consists of two separate lines,
one for front wheel brakes and the other for rear wheel brakes. Air
bleeding is necessary at right and left front wheel brakes, left rear
wheel brake and LSPV (if equipped), i.e. 3 (4 for vehicle with
LSPV) places in all.
Be sure to bleed air of brake system according to following proce-
dure when its oil hydraulic circuit has been disconnected.
1) Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and keep at
least one-half full of fluid during bleeding operation.
2) Remove bleeder plug cap (1).
Attach a vinyl tube (2) to bleeder plug, and insert the other
end into container (3).
3) Depress brake pedal several times, and then while holding it
depressed, loosen bleeder plug about one-third to one-half
turn. CAUTION:
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should
accidentally touch painted surface, immediately wipe
fluid from paint and clean painted surface.

ASSEMBLY
1) Check that slide bushes and boots for wear, corrosion, dam-
age, movement or deterioration. If it is found faulty, correct or
replace.
Apply rubber grease to bush outer surface. And then make
sure that each bush slides easily through each caliper bolt
hole.
2) Tighten bleeder plug to specified torque and install cap.
Tightening torque
Front caliper bleeder plug
(a) : 11 N·m (1.1 g-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
3) Piston seal is used to seal piston and cylinder and to adjust
clearance between pad and disc. Replace with a new one at
every overhaul. Fit piston seal into groove in cylinder taking
care not to twist it.
4) Before inserting piston (2) into cylinder, install new boot (1)
onto piston (2) as shown.
“A” : 2-grooved side directed inside
“B” : 3-grooved side directed outside CAUTION:
Wash each part cleanly before installation in the same
fluid as the one used in master cylinder reservoir.
Never use other fluid or thinner.
Before installing piston and piston seal to cylinder,
apply fluid to them.
After reassembling brake lines, bleed air from them.
NOTE:
Where temperature gets as low as – 30 °C (– 22 °F) in cold
weather, use rubber grease whose viscosity varies very
little even at – 40 °C (– 40 °F).

INSTALLATION
1) When using new grommets, lubricate them with the same
fluid as the one to fill reservoir with. Then press-fit grommets
to master cylinder. Grommets must be seated in place.
2) Install reservoir (1) and drive in reservoir pin (2).
3) Connect reservoir lead wire.
4) Fill reservoir (1) with specified fluid.
5) Upon completion of installation, check for fluid leakage.
Master Cylinder Assembly
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect reservoir lead wire at coupler.
2) Clean around reservoir cap (1) and take out fluid with
syringe or such.
3) Disconnect brake pipes (4) from master cylinder (3).
4) Remove master cylinder attaching nuts (5).
5) Remove master cylinder (3).
For vehicle equipped with P & B valve (6), remove master
cylinder (3) with P & B valve (6) and its bracket, then sepa-
rate P & B valve (6) from master cylinder (3). NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of this section.
NOTE:
Drive in reservoir pin (2) till both of its ends at the right
and left of reservoir (1) become the same length.

CAUTION:
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint.
Do not allow brake fluid to get on painted surfaces.

cause any damage to inside of cylinder wall and by tapping
flange with a piece of wood or something soft.
4) [For vehicle without ABS]
Remove piston stopper bolt (1). Then remove secondary pis-
ton by blowing compressed air (2) into hole from which pis-
ton stopper bolt was removed.
Be cautions during removal as secondary piston jumps out.
INSPECTION
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear or damage, and
replace parts if necessary.
Inspect master cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. It is
best to replace corroded cylinder.
Corrosion can be identified as pits or excessive roughness.
