Brake Fluid
BRAKE
10.Brake Fluid
A: INSPECTION
1) Check that the brake fluid level is between “MIN”
and “MAX”. If out of the specified range, refill or
drain fluid. If the fluid level is close to “MIN”, check
the brake pad for wear and refill the fluid.
2) Check the fluid for discoloration. If the fluid color
has changed excessively, drain the fluid and refill
with new fluid.
B: REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
•Do not let brake fluid come into contact with
the painted surface of the vehicle body. Wash
away with water immediately and wipe off if it is
spilled by accident.
•Avoid mixing brake fluids of different brands
to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
•Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to enter the
reservoir tank.
NOTE:
•During the operation, keep the reservoir tank
filled with brake fluid to eliminate entry of air.
•Operate the brake pedal slowly.
•For convenience and safety, perform work with 2
people.
•The required amount of brake fluid is approxi-
mately 600 m2 (20 US fl oz, 21 Imp fl oz) for entire
brake system.
1) Lift-up the vehicle and set rigid racks at the spec-
ified locations, or keep the vehicle lifted.
2) Remove both the front and rear wheels.
3) Drain brake fluid from the reservoir tank.
4) Refill the reservoir tank with the recommended
brake fluid.
Recommended brake fluid:
Refer to the specification. <Ref. to BR-2,
SPECIFICATION, General Description.>
Perform the same procedure as for bleeding the
brake line, until new brake fluid comes out from vi-
nyl tube. <Ref. to BR-31, PROCEDURE, Air Bleed-
ing.>
NOTE:
Perform the brake fluid replacement starting in or-
der from the farthest wheel cylinder from the mas-
ter cylinder.

Air Bleeding
BRAKE
11.Air Bleeding
A: PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
•Do not let brake fluid come into contact with
the painted surface of the vehicle body. Wash
away with water immediately and wipe off if it is
spilled by accident.
•Avoid mixing brake fluids of different brands
to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
•Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to enter the
reservoir tank.
1. MASTER CYLINDER
NOTE:
•When the master cylinder is disassembled or the
reservoir tank is empty, bleed the master cylinder.
•If bleeding of the master cylinder is not neces-
sary, omit the following procedures, and perform
bleeding of the brake line. <Ref. to BR-31, BRAKE
LINE, PROCEDURE, Air Bleeding.>
1) Fill the reservoir tank of the master cylinder with
brake fluid.
NOTE:
While bleeding air, keep the reservoir tank filled
with brake fluid to prevent entry of air.
2) Disconnect the brake line at primary and sec-
ondary sides.
3) Wrap the master cylinder with a plastic bag.
4) Depress the brake pedal slowly and hold it.
5) Plug the outlet plug with your finger, and then re-
lease the brake pedal.
6) Repeat the step 4) and 5) several times.
7) Remove the plastic bag.
8) Install the brake pipe to the master cylinder.
Tightening torque:
19 N·m (1.9 kgf-m, 14.0 ft-lb)
9) Bleed air from the brake line. <Ref. to BR-31,
BRAKE LINE, PROCEDURE, Air Bleeding.>
2. BRAKE LINE
1) When the master cylinder is disassembled or the
reservoir tank is empty, bleed the master cylinder
before bleeding the brake line. <Ref. to BR-31,
MASTER CYLINDER, PROCEDURE, Air Bleed-
ing.>
2) Fill the reservoir tank of the master cylinder with
brake fluid.
NOTE:
While bleeding air, keep the reservoir tank filled
with brake fluid to prevent entry of air.
3) Attach one end of the vinyl tube to the air bleeder
and the other end to the brake fluid container.
4) Depress the brake pedal several times, and
keep it pressed.
5) Loosen the air bleeder screw to drain brake fluid.
Tighten the air bleeder quickly, and release the
brake pedal.
6) Repeat the steps 4) to 5) until there are no more
air bubbles in the vinyl tube.
7) Repeat the steps from 2) to 6) above to bleed air
from each wheel.
NOTE:
Perform the operation in the order from closest
wheel cylinder to the master cylinder.
8) Securely tighten the air bleeder screws.
Tightening torque:
8 N·m (0.8 kgf-m, 5.8 ft-lb)
9) Check that there are no brake fluid leaks in the
entire system.

1. REAR DIFFERENTIAL
When replacing a rear differential assembly, select the correct one according to the following table.
NOTE:
•Using a different rear differential assembly will cause the drive train and tires to drag or emit abnormal
noise.
•For option code, refer to “ID” section. <Ref. to ID-2, IDENTIFICATION, Identification.>
2. IDENTIFICATION
Identification label positions are shown in the fol-
lowing figures. For details concerning identification,
refer to the “ID” section.

Recommended gear oil:
GL–5 (75W–90)
NOTE:
Each oil manufacturer has its base oil and addi-
tives. Thus, do not mix two or more brands.

C: CAUTION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Remove contamination including dirt and corrosion before removal, installation or disassembly.
•Keep the disassembled parts in order and protect them from dust and dirt.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, in-
stallation, disassembly and replacement.
•Be careful not to burn yourself, because each part on the vehicle is hot after running.
•Use SUBARU genuine grease etc. or equivalent. Do not mix gear oil, grease, etc. with those of different
grades or from other manufacturers.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified points.
•Apply gear oil onto sliding or revolution surfaces before installation.
•Before installing the O-ring or snap ring, apply a sufficient amount of gear oil to avoid damage and defor-
mation.
•Before securing a part on a vise, place cushioning material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate, or cloth
between the part and the vise.
•Avoid damaging the mating surface of the case.
