1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.
   

2. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plugs.
   

3. Depress the pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed.
   

4. When fluid stops coming out, immediately tighten the bleeder plug. Then release the pedal.
   

5. Repeat the 2 previous steps until all the air in the brake fluid is gone.
   

6. Tighten the bleeder plug.
   

   Torque:

   10.8 N*m{ 110 kgf*cm , 8 ft.*lbf } for front brake

   11 N*m{ 112 kgf*cm , 8 ft.*lbf } for rear brake (2WD)

   10 N*m{ 102 kgf*cm , 7 ft.*lbf } for rear brake (4WD)

7. Install the cap.
   

8. Bleed air from the brake line for each wheel by repeating the above procedures.
   
   

   
   
   
   

1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.
   

2. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.
   

3. Depress the clutch pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed.
   

4. At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the clutch pedal.
   

5. Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.
   

6. Tighten the bleeder plug.
   

   Torque:
