The installation process for the front brake flexible hose requires connecting it with the union bolt and new gasket before torquing it to 29 Nm (300 kgf-cm, 21ft-lbf). Secure the
Shock Absorber by placing the front flexible hose and
Speed Sensor onto it with a bolt that needs a torque of 19 Nm (194 kgf-cm, 14ft-lbf). Install the bracket toward the vehicle exterior. The brake tube requires connection to the front brake flexible hose using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 and wrench usage for holding the hose. When not using the tool apply 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11ft-lbf) torque and with the tool use a 14 Nm (143 kgf-cm, 10ft-lbf) torque. During connection of brake tube keep it from getting bent and avoid foreign substances from entering the tube at both points. A torque wrench with 250 mm (9.84 in.) fulcrum length should be used when applying torque keeping the wrench in a parallel position for proper accuracy. The front brake flexible hose installation requires a new clip to be fitted correctly with its identification mark facing outward and its rotation minimized before pushing the clip to its maximum extent possible. The brake fluid should be added to the reservoir followed by bleeding the master cylinder and brake line with additional steps involving bleeder of the brake actuator assembly for TMC Made with VSC. Before installing the front wheel it is important to check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and inspect for brake fluid leaks before applying torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76ft-lbf).
