HYDRAULIC BRAKE
Repeat steps 1and 2 until air bubbles do not appear
in the bleed hose.
After bleeding the air completely, tighten the bleed
valve to the specified torque.
TORQUE: 5.4 N·m (0.6 kgf·m, 4.0 lbf·ft)
Fill the reservoir to the upper level line with DOT 4
brake fluid.
Install the diaphragm and set plate.
Install the reservoir cap and tighten the screws to
the specified torque.
TORQUE: 1.5 N·m (0.2 kgf·m, 1.1 lbf·ft)
PEDAL BRAKE LINE
Add fluid and bleed any air from the brake pedal
line in the sequence as follow:
1. Left front brake caliper lower bleed valve
2. Rear caliper bleed valve
Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid from a
sealed container.
Operate the brake pedal several times to bleed
any air from the master cylinder.
Connect a commercially available brake bleeder to
the left front caliper lower bleed valve.
• If air is entering the bleeder from around the
bleed valve threads, seal the threads with teflon
tape.
1. Pump the brake bleeder and loosen the left front
caliper lower bleed valve. Add fluid when the
fluid level in the master cylinder is low to prevent
drawing air into the system.
2. Repeat the above procedures until a sufficient
amount of fluid flows out of the left front caliper
lower bleed valve.
It is not problem if the fluid flowing out from the
lower bleed valve contains air bubbles because
the lines will be bled later.
