P BRAKE SYSTEM Removal / Installation 1. When disconnecting the flexible hose and brake line, remove the clip after loosening the flare nut by using the SST. > 2. When connecting the flexible hose, do not over tighten or twist it. 3. Verify that the hose does not contact other parts when the vehicle bounces or when the steering wheel is turned all the way to the left or right. 4. Modify the brake pipe tightening torque to allow for a torque wrench-SST combination. (Refer to section GI) "Torque Formulas". 5. Tighten the flare nut by using the SST. Tightening torque: 13-22 N.m (1 3-2.2 kgf-m, %&-I 6 ft-lbf} 6. Bleed the air from the brake system. BRAKE FLUID Inspection Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It should be between MAX and MIN. If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system for leaks. J Fluid specification: FMVSS 11 6: DOT-3 Replacement 1. Follow the procedure outlined in Air Bleeding. (Refer to page P-7.) 2. Continuity air bleeding and replacing the brake fluid until only clean fluid is seen. 3. Fill the reservoir to MAX. Gartner Banana
