      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

      Using a union nut wrench, install the 6 brake tubes and front No. 1 brake tube way to the brake actuator assembly.

      Torque:
      Flare nut A
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }
      Flare nut B
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

      • Flare nut A:

        When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 20 mm (0.7874 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.0866 in.)): 23 N*m (229 kgf*cm, 17 ft.*lbf).

      • Flare nut B:

        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).

  2. INSTALL BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WITH BRACKET


    1. A003DINE01

      Temporarily install the brake actuator assembly with bracket and the brake tube to the body with the 3 bolts.

      Note

      Do not bend or damage the brake tube.

    2. Tighten the 3 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      20 N*m  { 204 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf }
    3. A003H4R

      Connect the connector and lock the lock lever.

      Note

      Check that the lock lever is securely locked.

  3. CONNECT FRONT NO. 1 BRAKE TUBE


    1. Connect the front No. 1 brake tube to the clamp.

  4. CONNECT REAR NO. 1 BRAKE TUBE


    1. Connect the rear No. 1 brake tube to the clamp.

  5. CONNECT FRONT NO. 1 BRAKE TUBE WAY


    1. Connect the front No. 1 brake tube way to the body with the 2 bolts.

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

      Torque:
      Flare nut A
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }
      Flare nut B
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

  6. INSTALL FRONT MUDGUARD


    1. Install the front mudguard with the 3 clips.

  7. INSTALL FRONT BUMPER

    for Standard Body
    (See page Click here)
    for Wide Body
    (See page Click here)
  8. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

    Torque:
    100 N*m  { 1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf }
  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL


    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.
