front brake caliper

Caution!

After completing work:

Bleed brake system.

Apply pedal support and press brake pedal slightly. This prevents
brake fluid from emerging from the expansion tank and air from
entering the brake system after the brake lines have been
detached.

Disconnect brake pipe from connection with brake hose.

Left:

Remove connector for wear indicator.

Installation:

Tighten brake hose on brake caliper.

If the brake hose was pulled from the mounting fixture during
removal, make sure it is positively attached when installed!

Tightening torque, 34 32 1AZ .

Set steering to straight-ahead setting.

Screw brake hose to brake line, ensuring that brake hose is
not twisted.
