PRECAUTION (BRAKES)
A6E691001020W01
Wheels and Tires Removal/Installation
1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a
wheel is removed, tighten it to 88—118 N·m {9.0—12.0 kgf·m, 65.0—87.0 ft·lbf}.
Brake Lines Disconnection/Connection
Caution
• Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off
immediately.
1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut
tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
• If any brake line has been disconnected anytime during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes,
and inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.
Connectors Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before doing any work that requires handling of connectors. Reconnect
the negative battery cable only after the work is completed.
ABS, ABS/TCS, or DSC Components Operations
1. Make sure that there are no DTCs in the ABS, ABS/TCS, or DSC memory after working on ABS, ABS/TCS or
DSC components.
• If there are any DTCs in the memory, clear them.

AIR BLEEDING
A6E691243001W01
Caution
• Maintain the fluid level in the reservoir tank properly while bleeding the air.
Specified fluid
Note
• The brakes should be bled whenever a brake line is disconnected. If a hydraulic line is disconnected at
the master cylinder, start at the slave cylinder farthest from the brake master cylinder, and move to the
next farthest slave cylinder until all four cylinders have been bled. If the disconnection point is anywhere
except the master cylinder, start at the point closest to the disconnection, and move to the next closest
slave cylinder until all four cylinders have been bled.
1. Remove the bleeder cap and attach a vinyl tube to the bleeder screw.
2. Place the other end of the vinyl tube in a clear, fluid-filled container.
3. One person should depress the brake pedal a few times, and then hold it in the depressed position.
