REAR 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 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 is removed.


  1. INSTALL REAR FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. Install the rear flexible hose with a new clip.

      Note

      Make sure the clip is completely pushed in.

    2. A005S8RE01

      Using a union nut wrench, connect the brake line to the rear flexible hose while holding the rear 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 and 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.

    3. Connect the rear flexible hose to the rear axle beam with the bolt.

      Torque:
      29 N*m  { 296 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf }
    4. A005W6R

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

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

  2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID


    1. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.

      Brake Fluid
      SAE 1704 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.

  4. BLEED CLUTCH LINE (for EB60)

    *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 5 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 both of the previous 2 steps 6 times.

    6. Tighten the bleeder plug.

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

    7. Depress the clutch pedal 10 times or more and confirm its operation.

      Note

      This must be performed before the engine is started.

    8. Install the bleeder plug cap.

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

  5. BLEED CLUTCH LINE (for EC60)

    A005RU3E01

    *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 5 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 both of the previous 2 steps 6 times.

    6. Tighten the bleeder plug.

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

    7. Depress the clutch pedal 10 times or more and confirm its operation.

      Note

      This must be performed before the engine is started.

    8. Install the bleeder plug cap.

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

  6. INSPECT FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAK

  7. INSTALL CENTER COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER


    1. A010GT5

      Attach the 5 claws to install the center cowl top ventilator louver.

    2. A010HT8E01

      Push and attach the clip, and slide and attach the claw of the hood to cowl top seal as shown in the illustration.

  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.
