FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE INSTALLATION

Note


  • Because the left and right 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.

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the LH side and RH side.

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.


  1. INSTALL FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. A019M2W

      Connect the front flexible hose to the disc brake cylinder assembly with a new union bolt and a new gasket.

      Torque:
      30 N*m  { 306 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf }
    2. A019MJI

      Install the front flexible hose with a new clip.

      Note

      Install the clip as far as it will go.

    3. A019OCN

      Using a union nut wrench, connect the brake line to the front flexible hose.

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Do not bend 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 the union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.

    4. A019M3U

      Install the front flexible hose to the absorber bracket with the bolt.

      Torque:
      19 N*m  { 194 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf }

  2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID


    1. A019L46

      Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.

    2. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.

      Brake Fluid
      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

      Note

      Make sure that there is sufficient brake fluid in the reservoir.

  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. Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed*1.

    2. When fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal*2.

    3. Repeat *1 and *2 until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.

    4. Tighten the bleeder plug completely.

      Torque:
      front bleeder plug
      8.3 N*m  { 85 kgf*cm, 73 in.*lbf }
      rear bleeder plug
      11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

    5. Repeat the above procedure for each wheel to bleed the brake line.

  4. INSPECT FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAK

  5. INSPECT FLUID LEVEL


    1. A019N2I

      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.

      Brake Fluid
      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

  6. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

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