When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 22 mm (0.8661 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 162 mm (6.3779 in.)): 13 N*m (137 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf)
Install the load sensing spring bracket with the 2 nuts.
ADD BRAKE FLUID
| Fluid |
|---|
| SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3 or equivalent |
Note
Do not remove the filter from the brake master cylinder reservoir and be sure to fill with new brake fluid to avoid any potential contamination of the brake system. Contamination, for example by dirt particles or mineral oil, could lead to functional brake problems.
BLEED BRAKE LINE
Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.
Depress the brake pedal several times and loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
At the point where the fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug and release the brake pedal.
Repeat this procedure until the air in the brake fluid is completely bled out.
Tighten the bleeder plug.
Front bleeder plug:
Rear bleeder plug:
Repeat the above procedure to bleed the air out of the brake line for each wheel.
INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE
RAISE FRONT BRAKE PRESSURE 9,807 kPa (100 kgf/cm2, 1,422 psi) AND CHECK REAR BRAKE PRESSURE
Tech Tips
Gradually depress on the brake pedal until the pressure reaches the specified valve. Do not overshoot the specified pressure. Read the value of rear pressure 2 seconds after adjusting to the specified fluid pressure.

IF NECESSARY, ADJUST FLUID PRESSURE
Adjust the length of the shackle.
Lower pressure - Lengthen "A"
High pressure - Shorten "A"
| Initial set |
|---|
| 120 mm (4.72 in.) |
| Adjusting |
|---|
| 112 to 128 mm (4.40 to 5.04 in.) |
If the pressure cannot be adjusted by the shackle, raise or lower the valve body.
Lower pressure - Lower
High pressure - Raise
Torque the nuts.
| Torque |
|---|
| 12.5 N*m (130 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf) |
Adjust the length of the shackle again.
If it cannot be adjusted, inspect the valve body.
