Excessive Pedal Travel InspectionS7RS0B4106003
1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load, measure brake pedal to wall
(dash panel silencer) clearance “a”. If clearance “a”
is less than specification, the most possible cause is
air in lines. Should clearance “a” remain less than
specification even after bleeding of system, other
possible infrequent cause is booster push rod length
out of adjustment.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake System”.
Brake arm pedal to wall clearance “a”
When pedal depressed at 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs):
over 75 mm (2.95 in.)
Brake Fluid Level InspectionS7RS0B4106004
1) Check master cylinder, reservoir and reservoir hose (if equipped) for crack, damage and brake fluid
leakage. If any faulty condition exists, correct or
replace.
2) Check that brake fluid level is between MAX and MIN marks on reservoir.
NOTE
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as
indicated on reservoir cap of that vehicle or
recommended in owner’s manual which
comes along with that vehicle. Use of any
other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX
lines marked on reservoir.
When brake warning lamp lights sometimes
during driving, replenis h fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake
system for leakage. Correct leaky points and
then refill to specified level.

CAUTION!
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other
fluid which contains mineral oil. Do not use a
container which has been used for mineral oil
or a container which is wet from water.
Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion
of rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and
water mixed into brake fluid will lower fluid
boiling point. Keep all fluid containers
capped to prevent contamination.

Stop Light Switch AdjustmentS7RS0B4106005
Adjustment should be made as follows. Pull up brake
pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust
switch position so that clea rance between end of thread
and brake pedal is as specified. Then lock it by turning
clockwise.
Clearance between brake pedal and stop light switch
“a”: 1.2 – 2.2 mm (0.05 – 0.08 in.)

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.

spare parts) to mating surfaces of “c” (rod seal (4)
and primary piston (5)).
7) Install piston guide (1) and circlip (6).Master Cylinder Assembly InspectionS7RS0B4106014
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear or damage, and
replace parts if necessary.
NOTE
• Wash disassembled parts with brake fluid.
• Do not reuse inner parts and rubber parts.

Inspect master cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. It is
best to replace corroded cylinder. Corrosion can be
identified as pits or excessive roughness.
NOTE
Polishing bore of master cylinder with cast
aluminium body with anything abrasive is
prohibited, as damage to cylinder bore may
occur.

Rinse cylinder in clean brake fluid. Shake excess rinsing
fluid from cylinder. Do not use a cloth to dry cylinder, as
lint from cloth cannot be kept from cylinder bore
surfaces.
Brake Booster ComponentsS7RS0B4106015
CAUTION!
Never disassemble brake booster. Disassembly will spoi l its original function. If faulty condition is
found, replace it with new one.

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)
Standard: 10 mm (0.40 in.)
Limit: 2 mm (0.08 in.)
NOTE
When pads are removed, visually inspect

Front Disc Brake Caliper Disassembly and
Assembly
S7RS0B4206006
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.

Assembly
Assemble parts in reverse order of disassembly,
observing the following instructions.
CAUTION!
• Wash each part cleanly before installation in the same fluid as the one used in master
cylinder reservoir.
• Never use other fluid or thinner.
• Before installing piston seal or cylinder boot to cylinder, apply brake fluid to them.
• Install a new piston seal into groove in cylinder securely making sure that it is not
twisted.
