Note
Take extra care to replace each part properly. Improper installation or repair could affect the performance of the brake system and cause a driving hazard.
It is very important to keep the brake system parts and the work area clean when repairing the brake system.
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the Precautions in the Introduction section.
Care must be taken when using magnets as they could affect the performance of the speed sensors.
Since the brake line is one of the critical safety-related parts, be sure to disassemble the components if a brake fluid leak is found. If any abnormality is found, replace the component with a new one.
When removing brake components, cover the brake tube connections to prevent foreign matter such as dust or dirt from entering the tubes.
Do not damage or deform the brake tubes when removing or installing them.
Do not deform the bracket and the body when connecting a brake line and flexible hose.
When installing a brake tube grommet to the body, make sure that the brake tube passes through the center of the grommet.
When installing a brake tube or flexible hose, make sure that it is not twisted or bent.
If the fitting of the flexible hose does not match the groove on the bracket, twist the hose slightly to insert it.
Flexible hoses must be free from absorber oil, grease, etc.
When installing a brake tube to a plastic clamp, make sure that the brake tube is not loose or being pinched.
Do not reuse a clip or plastic clamp removed from a flexible hose.
After installing a brake tube and flexible hose, make sure that they do not interfere with any other components.
Do not allow brake fluid to adhere to any painted surface such as the vehicle body. If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, immediately wash it off.
