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”.

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.

Master Cylinder Assembly Disassembly and
Assembly
S7RS0B4106013
Disassembly
1) Push in primary piston (1) to remove secondary
piston stopper pin (2) from master cylinder as
shown.
2) Remove circlip (1).
3) Remove piston guide and primary piston. Then remove secondary piston by blowing compressed air
(2) into hole. Be cautions during removal as
secondary piston jumps out.
WARNING!
Do not apply too highly compressed air
which will cause piston to jump out of
cylinder. Place a cloth 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.

Assembly
CAUTION!
• Never use any mineral oil such as kerosene oil and gasoline when washing
and assembling parts.
• Check inside of cylinder wall, pistons and cup seals are free from any foreign objects
such as dust and dirt and use case not to
cause any damage with a tool during
assembly.
• Do not drop parts. Do not use any part which has been dropped.

1) Apply brake fluid to inside of cylinder and contact surface of piston assembly (new piston cups, new O-
ring and piston guide).
2) Install secondary return spring and secondary piston (1) into cylinder body (4).
NOTE
Align oblong hole in secondary piston (2)
with stopper pin hole (3) in master cylinder
body (4) when installing it.

3) Install primary piston assembly into cylinder body.
4) Install piston stopper pin (2) with pistons pushed in all the way and install it.

and piston guide (1)) and “b” piston guide (1) and O-
ring (2)).
6) Apply small amount of s ilicon grease (included in
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.
