      Text in Illustration
      *1 MAX Line
      *2 MIN Line

      Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.

      Brake Fluid
      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

      Note

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

  11. BLEED BRAKE LINE

    A011AFD

    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 (Procedure 1).

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

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

    5. Tighten the bleeder plug completely.

      Torque:
      Front bleeder plug
      8.3 N*m  { 85 kgf*cm, 73 in.*lbf }
      Rear bleeder plug (for Disc Brake)
      11 N*m  { 112 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }
      Rear bleeder plug (for Drum Brake)
      8.5 N*m  { 87 kgf*cm, 75 in.*lbf }

  12. INSPECT FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAK

  13. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL


    1. A0118BBE01

      Check the brake fluid level.

      If 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.

      Brake Fluid
      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

  14. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

    Torque:
