FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tip:

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

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.

Note:

  • While the auxiliary battery is connected, even if the power switch is off, the brake control system activates when the brake pedal is depressed or the door courtesy switch is turned on. Therefore, even if only brake pads are to be removed and installed, be sure to perform the Disable Brake Control procedure and disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery before beginning work.

  • If the RH side flexible hose and LH side flexible hose are both removed from the vehicle at the same time, place an identification mark on each hose so that it can be reinstalled to its original position.
