15. Repeat steps 12 through 14 until no air comes out of the
port when the brake pipe is loosened
NOTE: Be very careful not to allow the brake fluid to come in contact with painted surfaces.

16. Bleed the air from the front wheel brake pipe connection (2)
by repeating steps 6 through 15.
Bleeding the Caliper
17. Bleed the air from each wheel in the order listed below: • Right rear wheel cylinder
• Left rear wheel cylinder
• Left front caliper
• Right front caliper
Conduct air bleeding from the wheels in the above order. I
f
no brake fluid comes out, it suggests that air is mixed in the
master cylinder. In this case, bleed air from the maste
r
cylinder in accordance with steps 6 through 16, and then
bleed air from the caliper or wheel cylinder.

18. Place the proper size box end wrench over the bleeder
screw.
19. Cover the bleeder screw with a transparent tube, and submerge the free end of the transparent tube in a
transparent container containing brake fluid.

20. Pump the brake pedal (3) slowly three times (once/sec),
then hold it depressed.
21. Loosen the bleeder screw until fluid flows through the tube.
22. Retighten the bleeder screw.
23. Release the brake pedal slowly.
24. Repeat steps 20 through 23 until the air is completel
y
removed.
It may be necessary to repeat the bleeding procedure 10 o
r
more times for front wheels and 15 or more times for rear
wheels.
25. Go to the next wheel in the sequence after each wheel is bled.
Be sure to monitor reservoir fluid level.
26. Depress the brake pedal to check if you feel “sponginess” after the air has been removed from all wheel cylinders and
calipers.
If the pedal feels “spongy” the entire bleeding procedure must be repeated.

Service Precaution
Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNECESSARY SRS
SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU/GM will call out those fasteners that require
a replacement after removal. ISUZU/GM will also
call out the fasteners that require thread lockers o
r
thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED,
do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases,
or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners
or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such
coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and
the joint clamping force, and may damage the
fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications.
Following these instructions can help you avoid
damage to parts and systems.
General Description
Pulling up the parking brake lever by hand will set the
parking brake. By means of a ratchet type lock, the
lever can be held in that position until it is released. The
position of the lever is transmitted through cable/leve
r
systems to the rear wheels. These parts are designed
to obtain sufficient braking force even when parking on
slopes. W hen the parking brake is set, or when the
ignition SW is in the “ON” position, the brake warning
light illuminates. The rear wheel parking brake is a
leading-trailing brake (mechanical inside expansion
type) built in the rear drum brake. Parking brake
adjustment is made through the adjusting hole (bored
through back plate). Parking brake lever stroke should
be adjusted to 8 −14 notches with 294N (30 kg / 66 lb)
(bench seat) or 6 −9 notches with 294N (30 kg / 66 lb)
(bucket seat). Refer to “Parking Brake Adjustment” in
this section.

Note:
1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed above or their exact equivalent be used on the vehicle.
2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid gasket. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions at all times.
3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and moisture from the connecting surfaces before applying the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.
4. LOCTITE 515 and LOCTITE 518 harden upon contact with a metal surface. Do not apply LOCTITE 515 or LOCTITE 518 between two metal surfaces having a clearance of
greater than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). Poor adhesion will result.

Coolant Replenishment
Warning:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature, be
sure not to loosen or remove the rediator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water.
To open the radiator cap, put a piece of thick cloth on
the cap and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the
pressure when the coolant has become cooler.
1. Open rediator cap pour coolant up to filler neck
2. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to "MAX" line
3. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen radiator
cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
4. After replenish the coolant tighten radiator cap, warm up the engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater
adjustment to the highest temperature position, and let
the coolant circulate also into heater water system.
5. Check to see the thermometer, continuously idling 5 minutes and stop the engine.
6. W hen the engine has been cooled, check filler neck for water level and replenish if required. Should extreme
shortage of coolant is found, check the coolant system
and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
7. Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to "MAX" line.
Coolant Capacity lit (US/UK gal)

Engine Warm-Up
After completing the required maintenance procedures,
start the engine and allow it to idle until it is warm.
Check the following:
1. Engine idling speed.
2. Engine noise level.
3. Engine lubricating system and cooling system. Carefully check for oil and coolant leakage.
4. Clutch engagement.
5. Transmission operation.
6. Indicator warning light operation.
