FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. B007UQ5

      Connect the front brake flexible hose with the union bolt and a new gasket.

      Torque:
      30 N*m  { 310 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf }

    2. Install the front brake flexible hose with a new clip.

      Note


      • When installing the front brake flexible hose, face the identification mark to the exterior of the vehicle and minimize twisting of the hose.

      • Install the clip as far as it will go.

      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

      Connect the brake tube to the front brake flexible hose with a union nut wrench while holding flexible hose with a wrench.

      Torque:
      Specified tightening torque
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench Click here.

      • 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)

      Note


      • Do not bend or damage the brake tube.

      • Do not allow any foreign matter such as dirt and dust to enter the brake tube from the connecting points.

  2. 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.

  3. BLEED BRAKE LINE


    1. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

    2. Depress the brake pedal several times and loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.

    3. At the point where the fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug and release the brake pedal.

    4. Repeat this procedure until the air in the brake fluid is completely bled out.

    5. Tighten the bleeder plug.


      1. Front bleeder plug:

        Torque:
        11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

      2. Rear bleeder plug:

        Torque:
        11 N*m  { 112 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

    6. Repeat the above procedure to bleed the air out of the brake line for each wheel.

  4. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR


    1. Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

      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.

  5. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE

  6. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

    Torque:
    100 N*m  { 1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf }
