FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE INSTALLATION

Note


  • Because the left and right hoses are not interchangeable, verify the part number when installing the flexible hoses.

  • If the hoses are to be reused, connect them after checking the identification marks placed when each hose was disconnected.

Tech Tips


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

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.


  1. INSTALL FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE

      *1 Clip
      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

      Install a new clip to the front flexible hose.

      Note

      Install the clip as far as it will go.

    2. Using a union nut wrench, connect the brake line to the front flexible hose while holding the flexible hose with a wrench.

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

      Note


      • Do not bend or damage the brake line.

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

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

      • When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 22 mm (0.866 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 250 mm (9.84 in.)):

        14 N*m (142 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf)

      *1 Front Speed Sensor Clamp
      *2 Front Flexible Hose
      *3 Claw

      Install the front speed sensor clamp and front flexible hose to the shock absorber bracket with the bolt.

      Torque:
      19 N*m  { 192 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Do not twist the wire harness for the front speed sensor when installing it.

      • Securely set the 2 claws of the front speed sensor clamp to the shock absorber bracket.

      • A bolt tightens the brake flexible hose and front speed sensor together. Make sure that the front flexible hose is positioned over the front speed sensor.
