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.

      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.

      3. Remove the bleeder plug cap.

      4. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

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

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

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

      8. Tighten the bleeder plug completely.

        Torque:
        10 N*m  { 102 kgf*cm, 7 ft.*lbf }

      9. Install the bleeder plug cap.

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

    2. Inspect fluid level Click here.

    3. Inspect for brake fluid leak.
