      Align the matchmarks and install the front disc.

      Tech Tips

      When replacing the front disc with a new one, select the installation position where the front disc has the smallest runout.

  2. INSTALL DISC BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY LH


    1. Install the disc brake cylinder assembly with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      135 N*m  { 1377 kgf*cm, 100 ft.*lbf }

  3. CONNECT FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. Connect the front brake flexible hose with the union bolt and a new gasket.

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

      Note

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

  4. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD KIT

      *1 No. 1 Anti-squeal Shim
      *2 No. 2 Anti-squeal Shim

      Install the No. 1 anti-squeal shim and No. 2 anti-squeal shim to each front disc brake pad.

      Note


      • Make sure that the No. 1 anti-squeal shim and No. 2 anti-squeal shim are installed in the correct position.

      • As shown in the illustration, the No. 1 anti-squeal shim and No. 2 anti-squeal shim can be identified by length, with β being longer than α.

    2. Install the 2 front disc brake pads to the disc brake cylinder assembly.

      A01FTNO Direction of Disc Rotation for Forward Movement A01FRLL Chamfered Edge (Large)
      A01FTRV Chamfered Edge (Small) A01FVNL Chamfered Edge (Same Size)

      Note


      • for Type A: The upper and lower edges of the brake pads are the equally chamfered.

      • for Type B: The upper and lower edges of the brake pads are chamfered differently. Install each brake pad to the correct side and in the correct position as shown in the illustration.

      • The front disc brake pad with the pad wear indicator is positioned on the inside of the vehicle.

      • Install the disc brake pads in the correct directions.

      • There should be no oil or grease on the friction surfaces of the front disc brake pads and front disc.

    3. A01FVUO

      Install the hole pin while pushing on the front disc brake anti-rattle spring.

    4. Install the pin hold clip.

  5. BLEED BRAKE LINE

    CAUTION:

    If the brake fluid is replaced without using the GTS, the procedure will be incomplete which could lead to problems or accidents. Always use the GTS when performing fluid replacement.


    1. Bleed air from the brake lines.


      1. A01FSJ7

        Remove the 2 ABS motor relays.

        Tech Tips

        If the ABS relays are already removed, this procedure is unnecessary.

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

      3. Add brake fluid so that the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX lines of the brake fluid reservoir.

        Brake fluid
        SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

      4. With the power switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      5. Turn the power switch on (IG), turn the GTS on, and enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

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

        Note

        Add fluid so that the fluid level does not drop below the MIN line on the brake fluid reservoir.

      7. After bleeding the air, depress and hold the brake pedal, and tighten the bleeder plug.

        Torque:
        11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

      8. In the same way as the RH side, bleed air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder LH.

      9. Follow the GTS screen, to end ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

      10. Install the 2 ABS motor relays with the power switch off.

      11. Turn the power switch on (IG), turn the GTS on, and enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

      12. While depressing the brake pedal, loosen the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder LH. While the pump motor and solenoid are operating, bleed the air.

        Note

        Add fluid so that the fluid level does not drop below the MIN line on the brake fluid reservoir.

      13. After bleeding the air, tighten the bleeder plug and release the brake pedal.

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

      14. In the same way as the LH side, bleed air from the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH.

      15. Follow the GTS screen to end ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

    3. Turn the GTS off and turn the power switch off.

    4. Check for brake fluid leaks.

    5. Inspect and adjust the brake fluid level in the reservoir Click here.

  6. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

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