INSTALL LOAD SENSING W/SPRING VALVE ASSEMBLY
Install the load sensing with spring valve assembly with the 2 bolts.
Using a union nut wrench, install the 3 brake tubes to the load sensing with spring valve assembly.
Note
Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.
Install the load sensing spring bracket with the 2 nuts.
ADD BRAKE FLUID
| Fluid |
|---|
| SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3 or equivalent |
BLEED BRAKE SYSTEM
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.
| Fluid |
|---|
| SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT3 or equivalent |
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.
