  • The following procedure is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE

    Note

    When installing the front flexible hose, minimize twisting of the hose.


    1. B003UAGC01
      *a Identification Mark
      *b Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

      Install a new clip to the front flexible hose.

      Note


      • Install the clip as far as it will go.

      • When installing the front flexible hose, face the identification mark to the outside of the vehicle.

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

      Torque:
      Specified tightening torque
      15.2 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Do not kink or damage the brake line.

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

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

      Tech Tips


      • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

      • When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 22 mm (0.866 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 162 mm (6.38 in.)):

        13.38 N*m (136 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf)

    3. Connect the front flexible hose to the front disc brake cylinder assembly with a new union bolt and a new gasket.

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

      Note
