CAUTION:
- All hoses and piping (tubes) must be free from excessive
bending, twisting and pulling.
- Make sure there is no interference with other parts when
turning the steering wheel both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
- The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid
leak is detected, always disassemble the
parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
- Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may
cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
- Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
- When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt,
dust, or other foreign matter gets in.
- Refill with new specified brake fluid. Refer to MA-15, "FOR USA
AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"
(for United States and Canada) or MA-15, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and
Lubricants"
(for Mexico).
- Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Inspection After Installation
Brake tubes and hoses are important safety parts. Always disassemble the
parts and retighten their fittings
if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if a
damaged part is
detected.
- Check brake lines (tubes and hoses), and connections for fluid
leaks, damage, twist, deformation, contact
with other parts, and loose connections. Replace any parts as necessary.
Refer to BR-20, "Hydraulic Circuit".
- While depressing brake pedal under a force of 785 N (80 kg, 177
lb) with engine running for approximately
5 seconds, check each part for fluid leaks.
