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.


  1. INSTALL FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. A01585YE01

      Install a new clip to the flexible hose.

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

      Torque:
      without union nut wrench
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }
      with union nut wrench
      14 N*m  { 145 kgf*cm, 10 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 point.

      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.).

      • The torque value for use with a union nut wrench is effective when the union nut wrench is parallel to the torque wrench.

    3. Install the bolt.

      Torque:
      31 N*m  { 316 kgf*cm, 23 ft.*lbf }
    4. A0157ZP

      Install a new gasket and connect the flexible hose with the new union bolt.

      Torque:
      30 N*m  { 306 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf }

  2. BLEED BRAKE LINE


    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    2. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.

    3. Add brake fluid until the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir.

    4. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal and bleed air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.

    5. Repeat the step above until the air is completely bled, and then tighten the bleeder plug while depressing the brake pedal.

      Torque:
      11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

    6. Bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder LH using the same procedure as for the RH side.

    7. With the brake pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH, continue to hold the brake pedal and allow brake fluid to be drained from the bleeder plug while the pump motor operates.

      Tech Tips


      • Air is bled as the pump motor operates while the brake pedal is being depressed.

      • Be sure to release the brake pedal to stop the motor after approximately 100 seconds of continuous operation.

      • As brake fluid is continuously drained while the pump operates, it is not necessary to repeatedly depress the brake pedal.

    8. When there is no more air in the brake fluid, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.

      Torque:
      11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

    9. Bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder LH using the same procedure as for the RH side.

    10. Turn the ignition switch off.

    11. Inspect for brake fluid leaks.

  3. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

    Torque:
    for Aluminum Wheel
    131 N*m  { 1336 kgf*cm, 97 ft.*lbf }
    for Steel Wheel
    209 N*m  { 2131 kgf*cm, 154 ft.*lbf }
