FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE INSTALLATION

Tech Tips


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

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.

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 is removed.


  1. INSTALL FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. A003AR4

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

      Torque:
      29 N*m  { 296 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf }
    2. A003BWH

      Install a new clip to the front flexible hose.

      Note

      Make sure the clip is completely pushed in.

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

      Torque:
      15 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.

      • Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.

    4. A003DNN

      Install the front flexible hose and speed sensor harness bracket to the absorber bracket and steering knuckle with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      29 N*m  { 296 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      Install the front flexible hose first and then the speed sensor harness bracket.

  2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID


    1. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.

      Brake Fluid
      SAE J1704 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 4

      Note

      Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brakes.

  3. BLEED BRAKE LINE

    Note


    • Bleed the brake line of the wheel farthest from the master cylinder first.

    • Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brakes.


    1. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

    2. Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed.*1

    3. When fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.*2

    4. Repeat *1 and *2 until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.

    5. Tighten the bleeder plug completely.

      Torque:
      10 N*m  { 102 kgf*cm, 7 ft.*lbf }

    6. Repeat the above procedure for each wheel to bleed the brake line.

    *1 Bleeder Plug Cap
    *2 Bleeder Plug

    1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.

    2. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

    3. Depress the clutch pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug while the pedal is depressed.

    4. When fluid no longer comes out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the clutch pedal.

    5. Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the air in the fluid is completely bled.

    6. Tighten the bleeder plug.

      Torque:
      8.4 N*m  { 86 kgf*cm, 74 in.*lbf }

    7. Install the bleeder plug cap.

    8. Check that all the air has been bled from the clutch line.

    *1 Bleeder Plug Cap
    *2 Bleeder Plug

    1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.

    2. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

    3. Depress the clutch pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug while the pedal is depressed.

    4. When fluid no longer comes out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the clutch pedal.

    5. Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the air in the fluid is completely bled.

    6. Tighten the bleeder plug.

      Torque:
      8.4 N*m  { 86 kgf*cm, 74 in.*lbf }

    7. Install the bleeder plug cap.

    8. Check that all the air has been bled from the clutch line.

  7. INSPECT FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAK

  8. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL


    1. A010LQYE01

      Check the fluid level.

      If the brake fluid level is lower than the MIN line, check for leaks and inspect the disc brake pads. If necessary, refill the reservoir with brake fluid to the MAX line after repair or replacement.
