kink.
Brake Hose and Pipe InspectionS6RW0D4106009
Hose
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road
hazard damage, for cracks and chafing of outer cover,
for leaks and blisters. A light and mirror may be needed
for an adequate inspection. If any above conditions are
observed on brake hose, it is necessary to replace it.
Pipe
Inspect the pipe for damage, cracks, dents and
corrosion. If any defect is found, replace it.

Booster Operation InspectionS6RW0D4106014
There are two ways to perform this inspection, with and
without a tester. Ordinarily, it is possible to roughly
determine its condition without using a tester.
NOTE
For this check, make sure that no air is in
hydraulic line.

Check Air Tightness
1) Start engine.
2) Stop engine after running for 1 – 2 minutes.
3) Depress brake pedal several times with the same
load as in ordinary braking and observe pedal travel.
If pedal goes down deep the first time but its travel
decreases as it is depressed the second and more
times, air tightness is obtained.
4) If pedal travel doesn’t change, air tightness isn’t
obtained.
NOTE
If defective, inspect vacuum lines and sealing
parts, and replace any faulty part. When this
has been done, repeat the entire test.

Check Operation
1) With engine stopped, depress brake pedal several
times with the same load and make sure that pedal
travel doesn’t change.
2) Start engine while depressing brake pedal. If pedal
travel increases a little, operation is satisfactory. But
no change in pedal travel indicates malfunction.
Check Air Tightness Under Load
1) With engine running, depress brake pedal. Then
stop engine while holding brake pedal depressed.

Disassembly
CAUTION!
Clean around caliper with brake fluid before
disassembly.

1) Remove disc brake piston with air blown into flexible
hose joint bolt installation hole.
WARNING!
Do not apply too highly compressed air
which will cause piston to jump out of
cylinder. Place a cloth (1) to prevent piston
from damage. It should be taken out
gradually with moderately compressed air.
Do not place your fingers in front of piston
when using compressed air.

2) Remove cylinder boot.
3) Remove piston seal using a thin blade like a
thickness gauge, etc.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to damage inside (bore side) of
cylinder.
