Pad ReplacementNBBR0032WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
IWhen cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal,
or piston will pop out.
IBe careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims when replacing pads.
IIf shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat,
replace them with new shims.
IIt is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
ICarefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.

DisassemblyNBBR0034WARNING:
Do not place your fingers in front of piston.
CAUTION:
Do not scratch or score cylinder wall.
1. Push out piston with dust seal with compressed air.
2. Remove piston seal with a suitable tool.
InspectionNBBR0035CALIPERNBBR0035S01Cylinder BodyNBBR0035S0101ICheck inside surface of cylinder for score, rust, wear, damage
or presence of foreign objects. If any of the above conditions
are observed, replace cylinder body.
IMinor damage from rust or foreign objects may be eliminated
by polishing surface with a fine emery paper. Replace cylinder
body if necessary.
CAUTION:
Use brake fluid to clean. Never use mineral oil.
PistonNBBR0035S0102Check piston for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of foreign
objects. Replace if any of the above conditions are observed.
CAUTION:
Piston sliding surface is plated. Do not polish with emery
paper even if rust or foreign objects are stuck to sliding sur-
face.
Slide Pin, Pin Bolt and Pin BootNBBR0035S0103Check for wear, cracks, rust or other damage. Replace if any of the
above conditions are observed.

ROTORNBBR0035S02RunoutNBBR0035S02011. Secure rotor to wheel hub with at least two nuts (M12´1.25).
2. Check runout using a dial indicator.
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the
specifications before measuring. Refer to AX-4, ªFront Wheel
Bearingº.
Maximum runout:
0.1 mm (0.004 in)
3. If the runout is out of specification, find minimum runout posi-
tion as follows:
a. Remove nuts and rotor from wheel hub.
b. Shift the rotor one hole and secure rotor to wheel hub with
nuts.
c. Measure runout.
d. Repeat steps a. to c. so that minimum runout position can be
found.
4. If the runout is still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car
brake lathe (ªMAD, DL-8700º, ªAMMCO 700 and 705º or
equivalent).
