FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE INSTALLATION

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedures for the LH side and RH side.

  • The procedures listed below are for the LH side.

Note

While the battery is connected, even if the engine switch is off, the brake control system activates when the brake pedal is depressed or the door courtesy switch turns on. Therefore during servicing of the brake system components, do not operate the brake pedal and open/close the doors while the battery is connected.


  1. INSTALL FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. A01GLY2E01

      Connect the flexible hose with a new union bolt (labeled C) and a new gasket.

      Tech Tips

      This illustration shows vehicles that are not equipped with a 6-pot caliper. For vehicles equipped with a 6-pot caliper, the shape of the parts differs slightly.

      Torque:
      39 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Install the flexible hose lock securely in the lock hole in the disc brake caliper.

    2. Install the clamp bolt (labeled B).

      Torque:
      20 N*m  { 204 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf }

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

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 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.

      • Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.

    4. Install the flexible hose with a new clip (labeled A).

      Note

      Securely install the clip.

  2. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

    Note

    When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

  3. INSTALL COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER


    1. A01GM4S

      for LHD:

      Install the 6 clips and cowl top ventilator louver RH.

      Note

      If the cowl top ventilator louver RH is not properly installed, water may leak into the engine room and cause malfunctions. Therefore, make sure the cowl top ventilator louver RH is installed properly.

    2. A01GI9P

      for RHD:

      6. After air bleeding, tighten each bleeder plug.

        Torque:
        for Front Brake (except 6-pot caliper)
        11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }
        for Front Brake (6-pot caliper)
        19 N*m  { 194 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf }
        for Rear Brake
        11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }
