leaks, cracks, chafing and other damage.
• Check that hoses and pipes are clear of sharp edges
and moving parts.
Repair or replace any of these parts as necessary.
CAUTION!
After replacing any brake pipe or hose, be
sure to carry out air purge operation.

Brake Fluid ReplacementS6RW0D0206017
Change brake fluid as follows.
Drain existing fluid from brake system completely, fill
system with specified fluid and carry out air purge
operation.
For air purging procedure, refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake
System in Section 4A”.

Installation
1) Apply engine oil to pistons, rings, cylinder walls,
connecting rod bearings and crank pins.
NOTE
Do not apply oil between connecting rod and
bearing or between bearing cap and bearing.

2) Install guide hoses (1) over connecting rod bolts.
These guide hoses protect crank pin and threads of
rod bolt from damage during installation of
connecting rod and piston assembly.
3) When installing piston and connecting rod assembly
into cylinder bore, point front mark (1) on piston head
to crankshaft pulley side.4) Install piston and connecting rod assembly into
cylinder bore. Use special tool (Piston ring
compressor) to compress rings. Guide connecting
rod into place on crankshaft.
Using a hammer handle, tap piston head to install
piston into bore. Hold ring compressor firmly against
cylinder block until all piston rings have entered
cylinder bore.
Special tool
(A): 09916–77310
5) Install bearing cap (1):
Point arrow mark (2) on cap to crankshaft pulley
side.
After applying engine oil to rod bolts and tighten cap
nuts (3) gradually as follows.
a) Tighten all cap nuts to 15 N⋅m (1.5 kgf-m, 11.0 lb-
ft).
b) Retighten them to 45°.
c) Repeat Step b) once again.
NOTE
Before installing bearing cap, make sure that
checking for connecting rod bolt
deformation. Refer to “Piston Pins and
Connecting Rods Inspection”.
