Note
Because the left and right rear flexible 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 was disconnected.
INSTALL REAR FLEXIBLE HOSE
Install the rear flexible hose with 2 new clips.
Note
Install the clip as far as it will go.
Using a union nut wrench (10 mm), connect the 2 brake tubes to the rear flexible hose while holding the rear flexible hose with a wrench.
Note
Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.
INSTALL NO. 2 REAR BRAKE TUBE FLEXIBLE HOSE (for Disc Type)
Install the flexible hose with the union bolt and a new gasket.
Install a new clip.
Note
Install the clip as far as it will go.
Using a union nut wrench (10 mm), install the brake tube onto the flexible hose while holding the flexible hose with a wrench.

FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
| *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.
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.
Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.
Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed (Procedure 1).
When fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal (Procedure 2).
Repeat (Procedure 1) and (Procedure 2) until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.
Tighten the bleeder plug completely.
Repeat the above procedure at each wheel to bleed the brake line.
INSPECT FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAK
INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
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.
