FRONT 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 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 removed.


  1. INSTALL FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. A01ISXS

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

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

      Tech Tips

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

    2. A01IRFP

      Install a new clip to the front flexible hose.

      Note

      Make sure the clip is completely pushed in.

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

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