PARKING BRAKE INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
INSPECTION
Hold center of parking brake lever grip and pull it up with 200 N
(20 kg, 44 lbs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as shown, count ratchet
notches. There should be 4 to 9 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked firmly.
To count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds that
ratchet makes while pulling parking brake lever without pressing
its button.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.
If number of notches is out of specification, adjust cable referring
to adjustment procedure so as to obtain specified parking brake
store.
ADJUSTMENT
After confirming that above conditions are all satisfied, adjust
parking brake lever stoke by loosening or tightening adjust nut
(1).NOTE:
Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or wear.
If any damage or wear is found, replace parking brake
lever.
NOTE:
Make sure for the following conditions before cable
adjustment.
No air is trapped in brake system.
Brake pedal travel is proper.
Brake pedal has been depressed a few times with
about 100 N (10 kg, 22 lbs) load.
Parking brake lever is pulled up a few times with about
500 N (50 kg, 110 lbs) load.
Rear brake shoes are not worn beyond limit, and self
adjusting mechanism operates properly.
If parking brake lever stroke is less than specification,
loosen adjusting nut (1) as far as end of bolt. Then
depress brake pedal repeatedly with about 300 N (30
kg, 66 lbs) load until adjuster actuator clicking sound
can not be heard from drum brake.
NOTE:
Check brake drum for dragging after adjustment.

1) Stop vehicle on level floor and place approximately about
1,000 N (100 kg, 220 lbs) weight (1) on rear housing so that
rear axle weighs 4,500 N (450 kg, 992 lbs).
Rear axle weight
“L” : 4,500 N (450 kg, 992 lbs)
2) Install special tool to front and rear brake.
For front wheel

3) Depress brake pedal gradually till fluid pressure of front
brake becomes as specified below and check corresponding
pressure of rear brake then. It should be within specification
given below.
LSPV specification
4) As done above, apply 100 kg/cm
2 pressure to front brake
and check that rear brake pressure then is within specifica-
tion as given below.
LSPV specification (apply 100 kg/cm
2 pressure to front
brake) NOTE:
Pressure gauge should be connected to bleeder plug
hole of front (left side brake) and rear (right side brake).
After testing front left side and rear right side, test front
right side and rear left side in the same way.

BRAKE HOSE AND PIPE INSPECTION
HOSE
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road hazard
damage, for cracks and chafing of outer cover, for leaks and blis-
ters. A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate inspec-
tion. If any of above conditions are observed on brake hose, it is
necessary to replace it.
PIPE
Inspect the pipe for damage, cracks, dents and corrosion. If any
defect is found, replace it.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
AIR BLEEDING OF BRAKE SYSTEM
Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever it
entered hydraulic brake system.
Hydraulic lines of brake system are based on the diagonal split
system. When a brake pipe or hose was disconnected at the
wheel, bleeding operation must be performed at both ends of the
line of the removed pipe or hose. When any joint part of the mas-
ter cylinder of other joint part between the master cylinder and
each brake (wheel) was removed, the hydraulic brake system
must be bled at all 4 wheel brakes.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should
accidentally touch painted surface, immediately wipe
fluid from paint and clean painted surface.
NOTE:
Perform bleeding operation starting with wheel cylinder
farthest from master cylinder and then at front caliper of
the same brake line. Do the same on the other brake line.

3) Remove caliper (1) from caliper carrier (2).
4) Remove brake pads (3).
INSPECTION
Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit, replace with
new one.
Brake pad thickness (lining thickness)
Standard : 10 mm (0.40 in.)
Limit : 1 mm (0.04 in.)
INSTALLATION
1) Set brake pad springs (1) and shim (2) and install brake
pads (3).
2) Install caliper and tighten caliper pin bolts (1) to specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Caliper pin bolts (a) : 26 N·m (2.6 kg-m, 19.0 lb-ft)
3) Tighten wheel temporarily and lower lift.NOTE:
Hang removed caliper (1) with a wire hook (4) or the like
so as to prevent brake hose from bending and twisting
excessively or being pulled.
Don’t operate brake pedal with brake pads removed.
CAUTION:
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If lining is pol-
ished with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be
deposited in lining and may damage disc. When pad lin-
ing requires correction, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
When pads are removed, visually inspect caliper for
brake fluid leak. Correct leaky point, if any.
NOTE:
For right side brake, install pad with wear indicator (4) to
vehicle center side.
