 AFTER DISASSEMBLY OF BRAKE LINE AND CALIPER
■ CAUTION ■
- Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it out immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery negative terminal before performing work.
- Wrap the flare nut wrench with waste cloth to protect the caliper from damage.
- If the brake fluid adheres to the caliper or disc rotor, quickly wipe it out.
- Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding.
- Always fill with new brake fluid. Never reuse the drained brake fluid.
1.Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder valve of the rear right brake.
2.Fully depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
3.Loosen the bleed valve and bleed air with the brake pedal depressed, and then quickly tighten the bleeder valve.
4.Repeat steps 2 to 3 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
5.Repeat steps 1 to 4. Occasionally fill with the brake fluid in order to keep the reservoir tank at least half full. Bleed air in the following order: rear right → rear left → front right → front left.
6.Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified range after air bleeding.
7.Check each item of brake pedal. Adjust if outside the specification. Refer to Inspection and Adjustment.
8.Run the vehicle until the surface temperature of caliper reaches 70 to 80°C (158 to 176°F), and then perform the stops 1 to 8 with the caliper heated. ■ CAUTION ■ - Be careful because the temperature of caliper is very hot.
- Depress the brake pedal rapidly to drain the brake fluid quickly.
9.Check each item of brake pedal again. Adjust if outside the specification. Refer to Inspection and Adjustment.
 AFTER REPLACING BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTOR
■ CAUTION ■
- Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it out immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery negative terminal before performing work.
- Wrap the flare nut wrench with waste cloth to protect the caliper from damage.
- If the brake fluid adheres to the caliper or disc rotor, quickly wipe it out.
- Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding.
- Always fill with new brake fluid. Never reuse the drained brake fluid.
1.Perform the running-in of brake pad and disc rotor.
2.Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder valve of the rear right brake.
3.Fully depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times. ■ CAUTION ■ Depress the brake pedal quickly.
4.Loosen the bleed valve and bleed air with the brake pedal depressed, and then quickly tighten the bleeder valve. ■ CAUTION ■ - Be careful because the temperature of caliper is very hot.
- Drain the brake fluid swiftly.
5.Repeat steps 3 to 4 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
6.Repeat steps 2 to 5. Occasionally fill with the brake fluid in order to keep the reservoir tank at least half full. Bleed air in the following order: rear right → rear left → front right → front left.
7.Check each item of brake pedal. Adjust if outside the specification. Refer to Inspection and Adjustment.
