INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
 Check for the following items and replace the brake pedal assembly if necessary.
- Check the brake pedal upper rivet (made by aluminum) (B) for deformation.
- Check the brake pedal for bend, damage, and cracks on the welded parts.
- Check the lapping length (A) of sub-bracket (1) and slide plate (2).
 Check clevis pin and plastic stopper (A) for damage and deforma-
tion. If any is found, replace clevis pin.

REMOVAL
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never depress the brake pedal. Brake fluid may spl ash while removing the brake hose or brake tube.
1. Remove tires with power tool.
2. Drain brake fluid. Refer to BR-10, "
Draining".
3. Loosen the flare nut with a flare nut wrench and separate the brake tube and the brake hose.
CAUTION:
 Never scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.
 Never bend sharply, twist or strongly pull out the brake hose or brake tube.
 Cover open end of brake hose or brake tube wh en disconnecting to prevent entrance of dirt.
4. Remove the union bolt and copper washers, and remove the brake hose from the brake caliper assembly.
5. Remove the brake hose mounting nut.
6. Remove the lock plate and remove the brake hose.
7. Remove the brake hose bracket.

Never reuse the copper washer.
3. Install the brake hose L-pin by aligning it with the brake caliper assembly positioning hole, and tighten the union bolt (1) to the
specified torque.
4. Install the brake tube to the brake hose, temporarily tighten the flare nut by hand until it does not rotate further, and fix the brake
hose to the bracket with the lock plate.
CAUTION:
Check that all brake hose or brake tube are not twisted and
bent.
5. Tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a crowfoot and torque wrench.
CAUTION:
Never scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.
6. Tighten the brake hose mounting nuts to the specified torque. CAUTION:
Never reuse the brake hose mounting nuts.
7. Perform the air bleeding. Refer to BR-11, "
Bleeding Brake System".
8. Install tires with power tool. Refer to WT-64, "
Exploded View".
9. Perform inspection after installation. Refer to BR-24, "
FRONT : Inspection".
FRONT : InspectionINFOID:0000000006222478
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the brake hoses and tubes for the following: no scratches; no twist and deformation; no interfer-
ence with other components when steering the steering wheel; no looseness at connections.
2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 785 N (80 kg, 176 lb) and hold down the pedal for approx. 5 sec- onds with the engine running. Check for any fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Retighten the applicable connection to the specified torque and repair any abnormal (damaged,
worn or deformed) part if any brake fluid leakage is present.
