4) When fluid pressure in the cylinder is almost depleted,
retighten bleeder plug.
5) Repeat this operation until there are no more air bubbles in
hydraulic line.
6) When bubbles stop, depress and hold brake pedal and
tighten bleeder plug.
Tightening torque
Front caliper bleeder plug
(b) : 11 N·m (1.1 kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)

(c) : 8 N·m (0.8 kg-m, 6.0 lb-ft)
7) Then attach bleeder plug cap.
8) After completing bleeding operation, apply fluid pressure to

9) Replenish fluid into reservoir up to specified level.
10) Check brake pedal for “sponginess”. If found spongy, repeat
entire procedure of bleeding.
Brake Hose and Pipe Inspection
HOSE
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road hazard
damage, for cracks and chafing of the outer cover, for leaks and
blisters. A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate inspec-
tion. If any of the above conditions are observed on the brake
hose, it is necessary to replace it.

INSPECTION
Check disc surface for scratches in wearing parts. Scratches on
disc surface noticed at the time of specified inspection or replace-
ment are normal and disc is not defective unless they are serious.
But when there are deep scratches or scratches all over disc sur-
face, replace it. When only one side is scratched, polish and cor-
rect that side.
Brake disc thickness “a”
Standard : 10 mm (0.394 in.)
Limit : 8.0 mm (0.315 in.)
Use wheel nuts (1) and suitable plain washers (2) to hold the disc
securely against the hub, then mount a dial indicator as shown
and measure the runout at 10 mm (0.39 in.) from the outer edge
of the disc.
Disk deflection
Limit : 0.15 mm (0.006 in.)
INSTALLATION
1) Install disc to wheel hub.
2) Install caliper assembly to steering knuckle.
3) Torque caliper carrier bolts to specification.
Tightening torque
Brake caliper carrier bolts
(a) : 85 N·m (8.5 kg-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
4) Install wheel and torque front wheel nuts to specification.
5) Upon completion of installation, perform brake test.
NOTE:
Check front wheel bearing for looseness before measure-
ment.

Brake Shoe
Where lining is worn out beyond service limit, replace shoe.
If one of brake linings is to service limit, all linings must be
replaced at the same time.
Brake shoe thickness (lining + shoe rim) “a”
Standard (lining + rim) : 6.5 mm (0.26 in.)
Service limit : 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)
INSTALLATION
1) Before installing brake drum, check outer diameter of brake
shoes. If it is not within value as specified below, adjust it to
specification by turning adjuster (1).
Outer diameter of brake shoes
“a” : 219.4 - 219.7 mm (8.638 - 8.650 in.)
2) Install brake drum after making sure that inside of brake
drum and brake shoes are free from dirt and oil.
3) Upon completion of all jobs, depress brake pedal with about
30 kg (66 lbs) load about 30 times so as to obtain proper
drum-to-shoe clearance.
Adjust parking brake cable.
4) Install wheel and tighten wheel nuts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Wheel nuts
(a) : 95 N·m (9.5 kg-m, 69.0 lb-ft)
5) Check to ensure that brake drum is free from dragging and
proper braking is obtained. Then remove vehicle from hoist
and perform brake test (foot brake and parking brake). NOTE:
Never polish lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished
with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be
deposited in lining and may damage drum. When it is
required to correct lining, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of this section.
