NOTE: lf the clearance between the gauge body
and adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-
to-piston clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clear-
ance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is
0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm(0.02 in) or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
rechecked.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
NOTE:
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star Iocknut securely.
Remove the special tool.

Brake Booster Inspection
Functions Tgst
1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times to deplete the vacuum reservoir, then
depress the pedal hard and hold it for 15 seconds. ll
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally; or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator proportioning valve, orcaliper) are leaking.
Start the engine with the pedal depressed. lf thepedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is operat-
ing normally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the
booster or check valve is faulty.
With the engine running, depress the brake pedal
lightly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back
automatic transmission creep, lf the brake pedal
sinks more than 25 mm (1.0 in.) in three minutes,
the master cylinder is faulty. A slight change inpedal height when the A,,/C compressor cycles on
and off is normal. (The A/C compressor load
changes the vacuum available to the booster.)
Leak Test
1. Depress the brake pedal with the engine running,
then stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not
vary while depressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum
booster is OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is
fau lty.
2. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure. When thepedal is first depressed, it should be low. On con-
secutive applications, the pedal height should grad-
ually rise. lf the pedal position does not vary, check
the booster check valve.
Boostor Ch€ck Valve T6st
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster,
Start the engine and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum available. It no vacuum is available. the check
valve is not working properly. Replace the brake
booster vacuum hose and check valve, and retest.

Inspection and Replacement
Never use an air hose or dry b.ush to clean brake
assemblies.
Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner to avoid
breathing brake dust.
Block the front wheels. loosen tha rear wheel nuts
slightly, support the rear of vehicle on sstety
stands, then remove the rear wheels.
Relaase the parking brake,
Remove the caliper shield.
Remove the two caliper mounting bolts and the
caliper trom the bracket.
CAUTION:
. Thoroughly clesn the out3ide ol tho csliper to
prsvent dust and dirt from entering in3ido,
. Support the caliper with a pi€c€ ot wire so that
it doss not hang lrom ths brako hose.

VINNER PAD SHIMCheck for weakness.(All exc.pt Type Rmod.ll
Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness of
each brake pad lining. The measurement does not
include the pad backing plate thickness.
Brake Pad Thickn..s:
Standard:
Typo R Model:
8.5 - 9.5 mm (0.33 - 0.37 in)
All except Type R Model:
7.0 - 8.0 mm {0.27 - 0.31 in)
Sorvie Limit: 1.6 mm {0.06 inl

lf the pad thickness is less than the service limit,
replace the pads and shims together as a set.

Rear Brake Disc
Disc Runout Inspection
Loosen the rear wheel nuts slightly, then raise the
vehicle and support it on safety stands. Remove the
rear wneers.
Remove the brake pads (see page 19-16).
Inspect the disc surface for damage or cracks. Clean
the disc thoroughly and remove all rust.
Use wheel nuts and suitable plain washers to hold
the disc securely against the hub, then mount a dial
indicator as shown, and measure the runout at 10
mm (0.4 in) in from the outer edge of the disc.
Brake Disc Runout:
Se.vice Limit: O.1O mm {0.0O4 in) max.
ll the disc is beyond the service limit, refinish the
brake disc.
Max. Refinishing Limit: 8.0 mm (0.32 in)
DIAL INDICATOR
NOTEi A new disc should be refinished if its runout
is greater than 0.'10 mm (O.O04 in).
Disc Thickness and Parallelism
Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts slightly, then raise
the vehicle and support it on safety stands. Remove
the rear wheels.
Remove the brake pads (see page 19-16).
Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at
eight points, approximately 45" apart and 10 mm
(0.4 in) in from the outer edge of the disc. Replace
the brake disc if the smallest measurement is less
than the max. retinishing limit.
Bfake Disc Thickness:
Standard: 8.9 - 9.1 mm
(0.35-0.36 in)
Max. Refinishinq Limit:8.O mm (0.31 in)
NOTE: Replace the brake disc it the smaLlest mea-
surement is less than the max. retinishing limit.
Brake Disc Parallelism: O.O15 mm
(O.00O6 in) max.
NOTE: This is the maximum allowable difference be-
tween the thickness measurement.
lf the disc is bevond the service limit for parallelism,
refinish the brake disc.
NOTE: See section 18 for brake disc replacement.
