How to service the front Brake Line on 2006 Toyota RAV4?

Question

Accepted Answer

The front brake flexible hose service starts with taking off the front wheel and draining brake fluid before cleaning off fluid from painted surfaces. The brake tube requires disconnection from the flexible hose by using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 while using a wrench to hold the flexible hose with special caution to avoid damaging the tube and to block foreign objects. Separate the knuckle components by removing bolt C, bolt D and clip B along with flexible hose clamp E. After that detach sensor clamp and flexible hose clamp from the flexible hose bracket. Before extracting the flexible hose from the disc brake cylinder remove both the union bolt along with its gaskets. To install the cylinder parts first apply Multemp SI-B silicon grease for lubrication and then screw in the two bolts to torque 34.3 Nm (350 kgf-cm, 25 ft. lbs.) while attaching the flexible hose through new gaskets and a union bolt that must be torqued to 29.4 Nm (300 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.). Ensure the flexible hose lock is properly fixed within the cylinder's lock hole. Brake fluid installation should be followed by air bleeding of the master cylinder combined with its brake line and ABS and traction actuator assembly. Continuing with reservoir brake fluid inspection and leak detection. The front wheel installation ends with torque setting it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Attach the flexible hose by checking the identification color match before placing the flexible hose clamp onto the bracket and by hanging the hook section of the sensor clamp (marked A) onto the flexible hose bracket (noted as C) at the same time as inserting the hook section of the sensor clamp (noted as B) within the flexible hose bracket (marked D). Secure the clamps using bolt C while installing the flexible hose which needs tightening of bolt D to 18.5 Nm (189 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.) before you set the flexible hose to the brake tube connection point (A) and add new clip B. Finish connecting the flexible hose to the brake tube (labeled A) by using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 while stabilizing the hose with a wrench and tightening it to 15.2 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.) without tool assistance or 14 Nm (144 kgf-cm, 10 ft. lbs.) with tool assistance. When performing this procedure avoid hose bending and tube damage as well as any potential for foreign contaminants to enter.
