Tightening torque
Wheel cylinder mounting bolt (a): 12 N.m (1.2 kg-m, 9.0 lb-ft)
- Tighten flare nut of brake pipe to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Rear brake pipe flare nut (b): 16 N.m (1.6 kg-m, 11.5 lb-ft)
- Install bleeder plug cap taken off from pipe back to bleeder plug.

- Install brake drum. Refer to "REAR BRAKE DRUM REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION :".
- Fill reservoir with brake fluid and bleed brake system. For bleeding operation refer to AIR BLEEDING OF BRAKE SYSTEM .
- Upon completion of all jobs, depress brake pedal with about 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load 3 to 5 times so as to obtain proper drum-to-shoe clearance. Adjust parking brake cable.
- Install wheel and tighten wheel nuts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Wheel nut: 85 N.m (8.5 kg-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
- Check to ensure that brake drum is free from dragging and proper braking is obtained. Then remove vehicle from hoist and perform brake test (foot brake and parking brake).
