WARNING
• To perform any of the following procedures, the hydraulic system must be opened. As a
result, the brakes must be bled after the correct reinstallation of the brake components.
Failure to bleed the brakes could result in decreased braking performance due to air being
trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only DOT 5 brake fluid. See Bleeding the Hydraulic
Brake System on page 5-22.
• Prior to servicing hydraulic brakes, thoroughly clean the vehicle, paying particular attention
to areas immediately surrounding hydraulic connections, to prevent dirt or debris from
entering system.
NOTE: The brake lines are provided as assemblies without separating unions other than those at the
wheels and master cylinder.
