1. INSTALL REAR BRAKE TUBE FLEXIBLE HOSE

1. Attach the clip to the flexible hose.

1. Using SST, connect the flexible hose to the brake tube and 3-way while holding the flexible hose with a wrench.

   SST
     09023-00101

   Torque:
     15.2 N*m{ 155 kgf*cm , 10 ft.*lbf } without SST
     14 N*m{ 143 kgf*cm , 10 ft.*lbf } with SST

   HINT:
     Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).

   NOTICE:
   1. Do not bend or damage the brake tube.
   2. Do not allow any foreign matter such as dirt and dust to enter the brake tube and 3-way from the connecting points.

2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID

Fluid:
  SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3

3. BLEED AIR FROM BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER

HINT:

  If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed air from the master cylinder.

1. Using SST, disconnect the 2 brake lines from the master cylinder.

   SST
     09023-00101

1. Slowly depress and hold the brake pedal.

1. Cover the outer holes with your finger, and release the pedal.

1. Repeat the 2 previous steps 3 or 4 times.

1. Using SST, connect the 2 brake lines to the master cylinder.

   SST
     09023-00101

   Torque:
     15.2 N*m{ 155 kgf*cm , 11 ft.*lbf } without SST
     14 N*m{ 143 kgf*cm , 10 ft.*lbf } with SST

   HINT:
     Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).

4. BLEED AIR FROM BRAKE LINE

1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.

1. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plugs.

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

1. When fluid stops coming out, immediately tighten the bleeder plug. Then release the pedal.

1. Repeat the 2 previous steps until all the air in the brake fluid is gone.

1. Tighten the bleeder plug.

   Torque:
     10.8 N*m{ 110 kgf*cm , 8 ft.*lbf } for front brake
     11 N*m{ 112 kgf*cm , 8 ft.*lbf } for rear brake (2WD)
     10 N*m{ 102 kgf*cm , 7 ft.*lbf } for rear brake (4WD)

1. Install the cap.

1. Bleed air from the brake line for each wheel by repeating the above procedures.

5. BLEED AIR FROM CLUTCH LINE (M/T)

1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.

1. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

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

1. At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the clutch pedal.

1. Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.

1. Tighten the bleeder plug.

   Torque:
     11 N*m{ 112 kgf*cm , 8 ft.*lbf }

1. Install the bleeder plug cap.

1. Check that all the air has been bled out of the clutch line.

6. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR

1. Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

   Fluid:
     SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3

   HINT:
     Add fluid to a level between the reservoir's MIN and MAX lines.

7. CHECK FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE
