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”.

4) Pass parking brake cable (1) through bracket (3) of caliper.
5) Hang parking brake cable on lever (2) as follows.
NOTE
Make sure that lever (4) contacts pin (5).

6) Install brake pads and caliper referring to “Rear Disc Brake Pad Removal and Installation”.
7) Connect flexible hose (1) with new washers to caliper (2).
WARNING!
Make sure that flexible hose is not twisted
when tightening joint bolt. If it is twisted,
reconnect it using care not to twist it.

Tightening torque
Flexible hose joint bolt (a): 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m,
17.0 lb-ft) 8) Install brake cable clip (1) securely to bracket (2).
9) After reassembling brake lines, bleed air from them
referring to “Air Bleeding of Brake System in Section
4A”.
10) Check to make sure that system is free from fluid
leakage.
11) Start engine and then depress brake pedal with about 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load 3 times or more so
as to obtain proper disc to pad clearance.
12) Check to make sure that parking brake lever stroke is as specified. Refer to “Parking Brake Inspection
and Adjustment in Section 4D”.
13) Tighten wheel nuts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Wheel bolt: 85 N·m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
14) Remove vehicle from hoist and perform brake test (foot brake and parking brake).
