BRAKE PEDALPFP:46501
Inspection and AdjustmentNFS000RT
Play and clearance inspection between brake pedal and floor panel with pedal depressed.

Check brake pedal play.

Check brake pedal height from dash lower panel (1).

Adjust height referring to the following specifications.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen stop lamp switch and brake switch by turning it counter-
clockwise by 45°.
2. Loosen lock nut (A) on the input rod to rotate input rod for adjust-
ing brake pedal height to the specified one, and tighten lock nut
(A). Refer to BR-18, "
COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
Make sure the threaded end of input rod stays inside clevis.
3. With the pedal pulled and held by hand, press stop lamp switch
and brake switch until its threaded end contacts stopper.
4. With the threaded end of the stop lamp switch and brake switch
contacting the bracket, rotate the switch clockwise by 45° to
secure.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the clearance “C” between bracket and end
of stop lamp switch and brake switch is within the standard.
5. Check pedal play.
CAUTION:
Make sure that stop lamps goes off when pedal is released.
6. Start engine to check brake pedal depression height when
depressed. Refer to BR-6, "
Inspection and Adjustment" .

–Make sure that joint length “L” of sub-bracket and sliding plate is
4 mm (0.16 in) or more.
–Check brake pedal for bend, damage, and cracks on the welded
parts.

Check clevis pin and plastic stopper for damage and deforma-
tion. If any is found, replace clevis pin.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. Tightening torques for brake pedal assembly mounting nuts and
bolt are referred to BR-7, "
COMPONENTS" . Tightening torque for lock nut is referred to BR-18, "COMPO-
NENTS" .

BRAKE FLUID
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
3. Make sure there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and
refill with new brake fluid.
4. Loosen bleed valve, depress brake pedal slowly to full stroke
and then release it. Repeat the procedure every 2 or 3 seconds
until the new brake fluid comes out, then close the bleed valve
while depressing the pedal. Repeat the same work for each
wheel.
5. Bleed air. Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .
Bleeding Brake System NFS000RY
CAUTION:

While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.

Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
cable from the negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to rear right brake caliper bleed valve.
2. Fully depress brake pedal 4 or 5 times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to bleed air in brake line, and then tighten it immediately.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
5. Tighten the bleed valve to the specified torque. Refer to front disc brake: BR-22, "
Components" , rear disc
brake: BR-28, "
Components" .
6. From step 1 to 5, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air from brake hydraulic
line bleed valves in the following order:
Rear right brake→Front left brake→Rear left brake→Front right brake

BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
CAUTION:

All brake hoses and tubes must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.

Make sure that there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.

Brake tubes and hoses are an important safety part. Always disassemble the parts and retighten
their fittings, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if damaged
part is detected.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

Cover the open end of brake tubes and hoses when disconnecting to prevent entrance of dirt.

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3”.

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

bly.
4. Remove lock plate and remove brake hose from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Assemble the union bolt and copper washer to the brake hose.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper washer.
2. Install brake hose by aligning with the protrusion on brake caliper assembly, and tighten union bolt to the
specified torque. Refer to BR-11, "
Hydraulic Circuit" .
3. Connect brake hose to brake tube, partially tighten flare nut by hand as much as possible, then secure it
to the bracket with lock plate.
