3) Repeat depressing brake pedal
slightly, and confirm that the hand
brake becomes effective with a lever
stroke of 3 to 4 notches when pulled
with a force of245 N (25 kg, 55Ib).
10-7. Replacement of Brake Fluid
NOTE:
a. Recommended brake fluid FMVSS
No. 116, DOTJ.
b. To always maintain the brake fluid
characteristics, replace the brake
fluid according to maintenance
schedule or earlier than that when
used in severe condition.
c. The brake piping consists of a dual
system, cross design_ The piping on
primary side connects the front
right brake and the rear left brake,
and the piping on secondary side
connects the front left brake and
rear right brake.

Always begin replacing the brake
fluid on the primary side and sub-
sequently work on secondary side.
1. Replacement
Procedure
1) Remove filler cap from brake
fluid reservoir. Install one end of a
vinyl tube onto air bleeder of master
cylinder and insert the other end of
tube into a container to collect brake
fluid. To drain the fluid into container.
open air bleeder and repeatedly depress
and release brake pedal until a small
amount of fluid remains in reservoir.
2) Refill reservoir with recommended
brake fluid. To refill reservoir, slowly
and repeatedly depress and release
brake pedal completely until a solid
stream of brake fluid (containing no
air bubbles) runs through vinyl tube.
Then securely tighten air bleeder of
master cylinder.
2) I nstall one end of a vinyl tube
onto air bleeder of wheel cylinder
located farthest from master cylinder
and put the other end of the tube into
container for receiving brake fluid.
4) Open air bleeder, and depress and
release brake pedal until old brake
fluid is drained out and new fluid
flows through vinyl tube. Then close
the bleeder.
NOTE:
Add brake fluid as necessary while
performing the air bleed operation, in
order to prevent reservoir from run-
ning short of brake fluid.
5) Use the same procedure as the one
described above to change brake fluid
of front wheel cylinder.
6) Always start with the primary side
and then work on the secondary side.
7) Reconfirmation
Bleed air from the brake lines as
follows in the order shown below in
figure.
10-22
4) Forcibly pull hand brake lever 3
to 5 times and rotate tire and wheel
several times by hand. Then wind a
rope around the circum ference of tire,
and con firm that tire and wheel can be
rotated with a force of less than 39 N
(4
kg,
9
Ib).

Fig. 10-74 Air bleeding order
a. Install one end of a vinyl tube onto
air bleeder screw and put the other
end into container.
b. Attach a wrench to bleeder screw,
but do not loosen it at this point.
c. Instruct your co-worker to depress
brake pedal slowly 2 or 3 times and
then hold it depressed.
d. Loosen bleeder screw approxi-
mately 1/4 turn until a small
amount of brake fluid drains into
container, and then quickly tighten
the screw.
e. Repeat steps c) and d) above until
there are no air bubbles in the
drained brake fluid.
NOTE:
Add brake fluid as necessary while
performing the air bleed operation, in
order to prevent reservoir from run-
ning short of brake fluid.
