CAUTION:
. Replaco tho salf-locking nuts after romoval.
. The vehiclo should be on tho ground bsfore any bohs or nuls connected to rubber mounb or bushings are tightened.. Torqu€ th€ castle nut to the lowor torque specification, ihen tighton it only far enough to align th€ slot whh the pin
hole. Do not align the nut by loosening.
NOTE:
. Use only genuine Honda wheel weights for aluminum wheels. Non-genuine wheel weights may corrode and damagethe aluminum wheels.
. On the aluminum wheels, remove the center cap from the inside of the wheel after removing the wheel,. Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surfaces of the front hub and brake disc,. Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and wheel.o Wipe off the grease before tightening the nut at the ball joint.

Master Cylinder/Brake Booster
Pushrod Glearance Adjustment
NOTEr
. The master cylinder pushrod-to-piston clearancemust be checked and adjustments made, if neces_sary, before installing the master cylinder.. ABS type is shown, conventional brake type is similar.
1. Set the special tool on the master cylinde. body; push
in the center shaft until the top of it contacts the endofthe secondary piston by turning the adjusting nut.
Without disturbing the center shaft's Dosition, installthe specialtool upside down on the booster.Install the master cylinder nuts, and tighten to thespecified torque.
Connect the booster in-line with a vacuum gauge O _
101 kPa (0 - 760 mmHg, 30 in.Hg) to the booster,sengine vacuum supply, and maintain an enginespeed that will deliver 66 kpa (500 mmHg, 20 in.Hg)vacuum.
With a feeler gauge. measure the clearance Detweenthe gauge body and the adjusting nut as shown.
Clearance: 0 - 0.4 mm {0 - 0.02 in)

NOTE: lf the clearance between the gauge bodyand adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clear_ance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm(0.02 in) or more. Therefore, it must be adjusted andrechecked.
6. lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut, andturn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
NOTE;
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuumis applied to the booster.. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star locknut securely.
Remove the special tool.

Inspection/Torque Specifications
t. Inspect the brake hoses for damage, deterioration, leaks, interference, and twisting.
2. Check the brake lines for damage, rusting. and leakage. Also check for bent brake lines.
3. Check for ieaks at hose and line ioints and connections, and retighten if necessary'
4. Check the master cylinder and ABS modulator unit for damage and leakage
CAUTION: Replace tho brake hose clip whenev€r the brake hose is serviced.
