OPERATION
With engine stopped, change vacuum to atmospheric pressure by
depressing brake pedal several times. Then with brake pedal fully
depressed, start engine and when vacuum pressure reaches the
standard, make sure that clearance between brake pedal and floor
panel decreases.
AIR TIGHT
• Run engine at idle for approximately 1 minute, and stop it afterapplying vacuum to booster. Depress brake pedal normally to
change vacuum to atmospheric pressure. Make sure that distance
at intervals of 5 seconds between brake pedal and floor panel
gradually increases.
• Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not change after holding pedal down for 30 seconds.

Airtightness Inspection
Use a suitable vacuum pump to check. Connect to brake booster
side of check valve.

CAUTION:
• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be fr ee from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning the steering wheel both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
• The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the
parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
• 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.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets in.
• Refill with new specified brake fluid. Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
CAUTION:
Brake tubes and hoses are important safety parts. Always disassemble the parts and retighten their fit-
tings, if a brake fluid leak is det ected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if damaged part is
detected.

BRAKE PEDAL
3. Disconnect the adjustable brake pedal cable from the adjustablepedal electric motor.
• Unlock (1) then pull (2) the adjustable brake pedal cable to dis-connect it from the adjustable pedal electric motor as shown.
4. Remove snap pin and clevis pin from the clevis of brake booster.
5. Remove brake pedal assembly nuts and remove the brake pedal assembly. • Temporarily install the brake pedal assembly nuts by hand to support the brake booster.
WARNING:
Do not bend the brake tubing.
CAUTION:
• Before removal and installation, the accelerator and brake pedals must be in the forward mostposition (closest to the floor). This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake ped-
als.
• Do not disassemble the brake pedal adjusting mechanism.
• Avoid damage from dropping th e brake pedal assembly during handling.
• Keep the brake pedal assembly away from water.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the brake pedal assembly for the following items:
• Crack or deformation of clevis pin stopper
• Clevis pin deformation
• Crack of any welded portion of the brake pedal assembly
• Brake pedal bend or deformation
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Check the brake pedal for smooth operation. Ther e should be no binding or sticking when applying or
releasing the brake pedal.
• Check the brake pedal adjustable feature for smooth operation. There should be no binding or sticking when adjusting the brake pedal forward or backward.
• After installing the brake pedal assembly, be sure to adjust it. Refer to BR-15, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
