- It is very important to keep the brake system parts and the work area clean when repairing the brake system.
- If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precautions in the introduction section (see page in-5).
- Care must be taken when using magnets as they could affect the performance of the speed sensors.
- Since the brake line is one of the critical safety-related parts, be sure to disassemble the components if a brake fluid leak is found. If any abnormality is found, replace the component with a new one.
- When removing brake components, cover the brake tube connections to prevent foreign matter such as dust or dirt from entering the tubes.
- Do not damage or deform the brake tubes when removing or installing them.
- When installing a brake tube grommet to the body, ensure that the brake tube passes through the center of the grommet.
- When installing a brake tube or flexible hose, ensure that it is not twisted or bent.
- If the fitting of the flexible hose does not match the groove on the bracket, twist the hose slightly to insert it.
- Flexible hoses must be free from absorber oil, grease, etc.
- When installing a brake tube to a plastic clamp, ensure that the brake tube is not loose or being pinched.
- Do not reuse a clip or plastic clamp removed from a flexible hose.
