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.


  1. INSTALL REAR FLEXIBLE HOSE LH


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

      Note

      Make sure the clip is completely pushed in.

    2. 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 or dust to enter the brake tube from the connecting point.

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

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

      Torque:
      39 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      Insert the flexible hose lock securely into the lock hole in the disc brake cylinder.

  2. BLEED BRAKE LINE


    1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.

    2. Add brake fluid until the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir.

      Brake fluid
      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

    3. Loosen the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.

    4. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal and bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.

      Note

      Add fluid as necessary so that the fluid in the reservoir does not decrease below the MIN level.

    5. After air is completely bled out, 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. Loosen the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH.

    8. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal and bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH.

      Note

      Add fluid as necessary so that the fluid in the reservoir does not decrease below the MIN level.

    9. After air is completely bled out, tighten the bleeder plug while depressing the brake pedal.

      Torque:
      8.3 N*m  { 85 kgf*cm, 73 in.*lbf }

    10. Bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder LH using the same procedure as for the RH side.

    11. Check for brake fluid leaks.

  3. INSTALL REAR WHEEL

    Torque:
    103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
