If the diaphragm inside the
reservoir cap is deformed, return

it to the original (collapsed)
condition, then tighten the cap.

It is normal for the brake fluid
level to go down slightly as the
front brake pads wear. So be sure
to keep the reservoir fluid at the
proper level.

If the reservoir needs frequent
refilling, it may indicate a serious

mechanical problem.

Brake fluid absorbs water from
the air. Never use brake fluid that
has been open to the air for an
extended period. Throw it away
and use new brake fluid from a
sealed container.

Brake fluid can damage your

vehicle's paint. Thoroughly clean
up any brake fluid spills.

Shift-on-the-Fly System

The fluid level in the system should
be checked at the intervals shown

in the Maintenance Schedule.

Remove the filler plug and make

sure the fluid level is up to the

edge of the hole. If it is not, add
GL-5 gear oil to bring to that
level. Use the same GL-5 gear oil

specified for the front axle (see
page

212

).

Front Wheel Bearings

Clean and repack the front wheel
bearings whenever the front brake
pads are replaced. Due to the
weight of the tire and wheel
assembly it is recommended that
they be removed from the hub
before lubricating the bearings to
prevent damage to the oil seal.

"Long Fiber" grease should not be

used to lubricate the wheel bearings.
It can cause damage. Clean the old
grease out of the bearings and hubs
before repacking.
