Rear Disc Brake Pad InspectionS7RS0B4306004
Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit, 
replace with new one.
CAUTION! 
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If 
lining is polished with sandpaper, hard 
particles of sandpaper will be deposited in 
lining and may damage disc. When pad lining 
requires correction, replace it with a new one.
 
Rear brake pad thickness (lining thickness)
Standard: 9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
Limit: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
NOTE
When pads are removed, visually inspect 
caliper for brake fluid leak. Correct leaky 
point, if any.

Assembly
CAUTION! 
• Wash each part cleanly before installation in the same fluid as the one used in master 
cylinder reservoir.
• Never use other fluid or thinner.
• Before installing caliper to brake caliper  carrier, install slide pins with grease 
applied into carrier hole and check for its 
smooth movement in  thrust direction.
• Before installing piston seal to cylinder,  apply fluid to them.
• Install a piston seal into groove in cylinder  securely making sure that it is not twisted.
 
1) Apply thread lock cement to shaft thread (6) of  caliper.
“A”:  Thread lock cement 99000–32110 (Thread 
Lock Cement Super 1322) 
2) Apply grease to inside of new shaft cover (1).
3) Install new shaft cover, leve r (2), washer (3), parking 
nut (4) and return spring (5) to caliper.
Tightening torque
Parking nut (a):  27 N·m (2.7 kgf-m, 19.5 lb-ft) 4) Install bleeder plug and cap to caliper.
5) Install new piston seal to caliper.
6) Before inserting piston (2) into cylinder, install boot 
(1) onto piston as shown.
7) Fit boot as it is in figure into boot groove in cylinder  with fingers.
