REMOVAL
caution
  • Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface. For brake component parts, never wash them with water.
  • Never depress the brake pedal while removing the brake hose or brake tube. If this is not complied with, brake fluid may splash.
  • Wipe off immediately when attaching brake fluid with disc rotor and caliper assembly.
 
 
1. Remove tires. Refer to Removal and Installation
2. Drain brake fluid. Refer to DrainingDraining.
3. Loosen the flare nut with a flare nut wrench (A) and separate the brake tube A from the brake hose A . And then remove the lock plate .
caution
  • Never scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.
  • Never bend sharply, twist or strongly pull out the brake hoses and tubes.
  • Cover open end of brake tubes and brake hoses when disconnecting to prevent entrance of dirt.
4. Loosen the flare nut with a flare nut wrench (A) and separate the brake hose A from the brake tube B . And then remove the lock plate .
caution
  • Never scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.
  • Never bend sharply, twist or strongly pull out the brake hoses and tubes.
  • Cover open end of brake tubes and brake hoses when disconnecting to prevent entrance of dirt.

INSTALLATION
caution
  • Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface. For brake component parts, never wash them with water.
  • Never depress the brake pedal while removing the brake hose or brake tube. If this is not complied with, brake fluid may splash.
  • Never allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
  • Wipe off immediately when attaching brake fluid with disc rotor and caliper assembly.
  • Be sure to check the identification color when installing the brake hose (body floor side) because the shapes of the brake hoses are different on the right and left side (Right side: orange, left side: blue).
 
 
1. Assemble the union bolt and the copper washers to the brake hose B.
cautionNever reuse the copper washer.
2. Align the brake hose L-pin with the brake caliper assembly hole , and tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.
3. Install the brake hose B to the brake tube B, temporarily tighten the flare nut by hand until it does not rotate further, and fix the brake hose to the brake hose bracket with the lock plate.
cautionCheck that all brake hoses and brake tubes are not twisted and bent.
4. Tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a crowfoot (A) and torque wrench (B).
cautionNever scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.
5. Install the brake tube B to the brake hose A, temporarily tighten the flare nut by hand until it does not rotate further, and fix the brake hose to brake hose brackets with the lock plate.
cautionCheck that all brake hoses and brake tubes are not twisted and bent.
6. Tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a crowfoot (A) and torque wrench (B).
cautionNever scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.
7. Install the brake hose A to the brake tube A, temporarily tighten the flare nut by hand until it does not rotate further, and fix the brake hose with the lock plate.
cautionCheck that all brake hoses and brake tubes are not twisted and bent.
8. Tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a crowfoot (A) and torque wrench (B).
cautionNever scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.
9. Refill with new brake fluid and perform the air bleeding. Refer to Bleeding Brake System.
cautionNever reuse drained brake fluid.
10. Install tires. Refer to Removal and Installation
11. Perform inspection after installation. Refer to InspectionInspection.
