  with union nut wrench
  
  14 N*m { 145 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }
  Tech Tips
  - 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.
  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.

  Torque:
  
  98 N*m { 999 kgf*cm, 72 ft.*lbf }
  
  Note
  
  Perform this procedure with all 4 wheels on the ground.
TIGHTEN REAR LATERAL CONTROL ROD ASSEMBLY
1. Tighten the nut.
  
  Torque:
  
  150 N*m { 1530 kgf*cm, 111 ft.*lbf }
  
  Note
  
  Perform this procedure with all 4 wheels on the ground.
INSTALL REAR STABILIZER END BRACKET LH
1. Connect the stabilizer end bracket with the 2 bolts.
  
  Torque:
  
  36 N*m { 367 kgf*cm, 27 ft.*lbf }
INSTALL REAR STABILIZER END BRACKET RH
1. Connect the stabilizer end bracket with the 2 bolts.
  
  Torque:
  
  36 N*m { 367 kgf*cm, 27 ft.*lbf }
CONNECT NO. 3 PARKING BRAKE CABLE ASSEMBLY
1. Connect the No. 3 parking brake cable with the bolt.
  
  Torque:
  
  13 N*m { 127 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }
CONNECT NO. 2 PARKING BRAKE CABLE ASSEMBLY
1. Connect the No. 2 parking brake cable with the bolt.
  
  Torque:
  
  13 N*m { 127 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }
CONNECT REAR AXLE BREATHER HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY
1. Connect the breather hose to the rear axle housing.
  
  Note
  
  Make sure the breather hose paint mark and claw of the clip are facing towards the front of the vehicle.
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.
