REAR BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL REAR FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. A015Z6B

      Install the rear flexible hose to the rear disc brake cylinder assembly with a new union bolt and a new gasket.

      Torque:
      39 N*m  { 398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Install the flexible hose lock securely in the lock hole in the rear disc brake cylinder assembly.

    2. A015ZXTE01

      Install a new clip to secure the rear flexible hose to the body bracket.

      Note

      Install the clip as far as it will go.

    3. Using a union nut wrench (10 mm), connect the rear flexible hose to the brake line.

      Torque:
      without a union nut wrench
      15 N*m  { 153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }
      with a union nut wrench
      14 N*m  { 143 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 250 mm (9.84 in.).

      • This torque value is effective when the union nut wrench is parallel to the torque wrench.

      • Do not kink or damage the brake line.

      • Do not allow any foreign matter such as dirt and dust to enter the brake line.

  2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID


    1. A015ZWM

      Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.

      Brake Fluid
      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

      Note

      Make sure that there is sufficient brake fluid in the reservoir.

  3. BLEED BRAKE LINE

    Note


    • Bleed the brake line of the wheel farthest from the master cylinder first.

    • Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brakes.


    1. Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed *1.

    2. When fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal *2.

    3. Repeat *1 and *2 until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.

    4. Tighten the bleeder plug completely.

      Torque:
      19 N*m  { 194 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf }

    5. Repeat the above procedure for each wheel to bleed the brake line.

  4. INSPECT FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAK

  5. INSPECT FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR


    1. A015ZF0E01

      Check the fluid level.

      If the brake fluid level is lower than the MIN line, check for leaks and inspect the disc brake pads. If necessary, refill the reservoir with brake fluid after repair or replacement.

      Brake Fluid
      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

  6. INSTALL REAR WHEEL

    Torque:
    103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
