4) When fluid pressure in the cylinder is almost depleted,
retighten bleeder plug.
5) Repeat this operation until there are no more air bubbles in
hydraulic line.
6) When bubbles stop, depress and hold brake pedal and
tighten bleeder plug.
Tightening torque
Front caliper bleeder plug
(b) : 11 N·m (1.1 kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
Rear wheel cylinder and LSPV bleeder plug
(c) : 8 N·m (0.8 kg-m, 6.0 lb-ft)
7) Then attach bleeder plug cap.
8) After completing bleeding operation, apply fluid pressure to
pipe line and check for leakage.
9) Replenish fluid into reservoir up to specified level.
10) Check brake pedal for “sponginess”. If found spongy, repeat
entire procedure of bleeding.
Brake Hose and Pipe Inspection
HOSE
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road hazard
damage, for cracks and chafing of the outer cover, for leaks and
blisters. A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate inspec-
tion. If any of the above conditions are observed on the brake
hose, it is necessary to replace it.

Brake pad
REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Remove caliper pin bolts (2).
3) Remove caliper (1) from caliper carrier.
4) Remove pads (3).
INSPECTION
Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit, replace with
new one.
Brake pad thickness (lining + pad rim)
Standard : 15 mm (0.59 in.)
Limit : 7 mm (0.28 in.)
1. Caliper
3. Disc
NOTE:
Hang removed caliper (1) with a wire hook (2) or the like
so as to prevent brake hose from bending and twisting
excessively or being pulled.
Don’t operate brake pedal with pads (3) removed.
CAUTION:
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If lining is pol-
ished with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be
deposited in lining and may damage disc. When pad lin-
ing requires correction, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
When pads are removed, visually inspect caliper for
brake fluid leak. Correct leaky point, if any.

3) Install brake flexible hose (4) as shown and torque hose
mounting bolt (3) to specification.
Tightening torque
Front brake flexible hose bolt
(a) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
4) Install wheel and torque wheel nuts to specification.
5) After completing installation, fill reservoir with brake fluid and
bleed brake system. Perform brake test and check each
installed part for oil leakage.
Brake Disc
REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Remove caliper assembly by loosening carrier bolts (2 pcs).
3) Pull brake disc off by using 8 mm bolts (1) (2 pcs).
1. Brake caliper
2. Washer
CAUTION:
During removal, be careful not to damage brake flexible
hose and not to depress brake pedal.

5) To increase clearance between brake shoe and brake drum,
remove rubber plug from brake back plate and turn adjuster
downward with flat-head screw driver.
6) Remove brake drum (1) off by using 8 mm bolts (2).
INSPECTION
Brake Drum
Inspect drum for cleanliness. Check wear of its braking surface by
measuring its inside diameter.
Drum inner diameter “a”
Standard : 220 mm (8.66 in.)
Service Limit : 222 mm (8.74 in.)
Whenever brake drums are removed, they should be thoroughly
cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores, deep grooves.
Cracked, scored, or grooved drum
A cracked, drum is unsafe for further service and must be
replaced.
Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will
cause excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be neces-
sary to resurface drum braking surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved, drum
should be polished with fine emery cloth but should not be turned.
NOTE:
When drum is removed, visually inspect wheel cylinder
for brake fluid leakage. Correct leaky point, if any.

2) Install shoe hold down springs (2) by pushing them down in
place and turning hold down pins (1).
3) Install shoe return spring and parking brake shoe lever
spring.
4) For procedure hereafter, refer to “Brake Drum” in this sec-
tion.
Wheel Cylinder
REMOVAL
1) Remove brake drum referring to “Brake Drum” in this sec-
tion.
2) Remove brake shoe referring to “Brake Shoe” in this section.
3) Loosen brake pipe flare nut (or nuts) but only within the
extent that fluid does not leak.
4) Remove wheel cylinder mounting bolts. Disconnect brake
pipe (or pipes) from wheel cylinder and put wheel cylinder
breather plug cap (1) onto pipe to prevent fluid from spilling.
INSPECTION
Inspect wheel cylinder disassembled parts for wear, cracks, cor-
rosion or damage.
3. Shoe return spring lower
4. Spring and rod assembly
5. Adjuster lever
6. Adjuster spring
NOTE:
Clean wheel cylinder components with brake fluid.
