CAUTION:
·
If the brake fluid is spilled inadvertently over the paint finish surface of the vehicle or the resin made
part, immediately wipe off the brake fluid and flush with fresh water.
·
Be sure to follow the draining order of each wheel cylinder. The draining should be performed from
the farthermost wheel cylinder from the brake master cylinder, one by one.
1. Remove the brake bleeder plug cap.
2. Connect the suitable bleeder hose to the bleeder plug.
3. Prepare a suitable container and connect one end of the
bleeder hose in the container.
4. Depress the brake pedal and have a person hold it in a
depressed state.
5. Slacken the bleeder plug to drain the brake fluid by anoth-
er person and tighten the bleeder plug temporarily.
6. Repeat the steps 4 to 5 until the brake fluid in the reservoir
tank becomes zero.
However, at this state be very careful not to suck the air
into the brake line, except cases where draining of the
brake fluid is required.
7. Replenish the new brake fluid into the reservoir tank and
maintain the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank at the
MAX level during the following operation.
8. Drain the old brake fluid or air from each brake line start-
ing from the farthest wheel cylinder from the master cylin-

steps 4 to 5 repeatedly.
9. Tighten the air bleeder plugs to the specified tightening
torque.
Tightening Torque:
10. Ensure that no air exists in the brake line by depressing
