Air Bleeding of Brake SystemS7RS0B4106006
CAUTION!
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If
fluid should accidentally touch painted
surface, immediately wipe fluid from paint
and clean painted surface.

Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever
it entered hydraulic brake system.
Hydraulic lines of brake system are based on the
diagonal split system. When a brake pipe or hose was
disconnected at the wheel, bleeding operation must be
performed at both ends of the line of the removed pipe or
hose. When any joint part of the master cylinder of other
joint part between the master cylinder and each brake
(wheel) was removed, the hydraulic brake system must
be bled at all 4 wheel brakes.
NOTE
Perform bleeding operation starting with rear
brake caliper farthest from master cylinder
and then at front caliper of the same brake
line. Do the same on the other brake line.

1) Fill master cylinder rese rvoir with brake fluid and
keep at least one-half full of fluid during bleeding
operation.
Brake fluid
: Refer to reservoir cap (1) 2) Remove bleeder plug cap. Attach a vinyl tube (1) to
bleeder plug, and insert the other end into container
(2).
3) Depress brake pedal several times, and then while holding it depressed, loosen bleeder plug about one-
third to one-half turn.
4) When fluid pressure in cy linder 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 referring to “Front Disc
Brake Components in Section 4B” and “Rear Disc
Brake Components in Section 4C”.

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 reserv oir up to specified level.
10) Check brake pedal for sponginess. If found spongy, repeat entire procedure of bleeding.

“Front Brake Hose / Pipe Construction”
CAUTION!
Do not allow brake fluid to get on painted
surfaces. Painted surfaces will be damaged
by brake fluid, flush it with water immediately
if any fluid is spilled.

Removal
1) Raise and support vehicle properly. Remove tire and wheel.
NOTE
This operation is not necessary when
removing pipes connecting master cylinder.

2) Clean dirt and foreign mate rial from both flexible
hose end and pipe end fittings.
3) Drain brake fluid in reservoir.
4) Remove brake flexible hose or pipe.
Installation
Reverse brake flexible hose removal procedure, noting
the following.
• Make sure that steering wh eel is in straight-forward
position and flexible hose has not twist or kink.
• Check to make sure that flexible hose doesn’t contact any part of suspension, both in extreme right and
extreme left turn conditions. If it does at any point,
remove and correct. Fill and maintain brake fluid level
in reservoir.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake System”.
• Perform brake test and check installed part for fluid leakage.

Brake Hose and Pipe InspectionS7RS0B4106009
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.

Front Disc Brake Pad On-Vehicle InspectionS7RS0B4206002
Inspect pad linings (1) periodically according to
maintenance schedule whenever wheels are removed
(for tire rotation or other reason). Take a look through
each end (or hole) of caliper and check lining thickness
of outside and inside pads.
If lining is worn and its thic kness (“a” in figure) is less
than limit, all pads must be replaced at the same time.
Front brake pad thickness “a” (lining thickness)
Standard: 10 mm (0.40 in.)
Limit: 2 mm (0.08 in.)

Front Disc Brake Pad InspectionS7RS0B4206004
Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit,
replace with new one.
CAUTION!
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If
lining is polished with sandpaper, hard
particles of sandpaper will be deposited in
lining and may damage disc. When pad lining
requires correction, replace it with a new one.

Front brake pad thickness (lining thickness)

Disassembly
CAUTION!
• Clean around caliper with brake fluid before disassembly.
• Be careful not to damage inside (bore side) of cylinder.

1) Remove piston with air blown into flexible hose 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.
4) Remove bleeder plug and cap from caliper.
