REMOVE COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER BRACKET LH

Detach the 5 claws and remove the cowl top ventilator louver bracket LH.

REPLACE BRAKE FLUID
1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.
2. Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brakes.
  Brake fluid
  
  SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3
  
  NOTE:
  Do not remove the filter from the brake master cylinder reservoir and be sure to fill with new brake fluid to avoid any potential contamination of the brake system. Contamination, for example by dirt particles or mineral oil, could lead to functional brake problems.
3. Remove the bleeder plug cap.
4. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plugs.
5. Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed.*1
  NOTE:
  Add fluid as necessary so that the fluid in the reservoir does not decrease below the MIN level.
6. When fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.*2
7. Repeat *1 and *2 until all the air in the brake fluid is completely bled out.
8. Tighten the bleeder plug completely.
  Torque: 8.3 N*m (85 kgf*cm, 73 in.*lbf)
9. Install the bleeder plug cap.
10. Repeat the above procedure for each wheel to bleed the brake line.
