Inspection
Visually inspect brake pads for uneven lining wear. Also inspect for excessive lining deterioration. Check the clear-
ance between the tips of the wear indicators (if equipped) on the pads and the brake rotors. If a visual inspection
does not adequately determine the condition of the lining, a physical check will be necessary. To check the amount
of lining wear, remove the disc brake pads from the vehicle. Measure the brake pad minimum thickness. Brake pads
must be replaced when usable material on a brake pad lining measured at its thinnest point measures one millimeter
or less. Replace both disc brake pads (inboard and outboard) at each caliper. It is also necessary to replace the pads
on the opposite side of the vehicle as well as the pads failing inspection to maintain proper braking characteristics.
If the brake pad assemblies do not require replacement, be sure to reinstall the brake pads in the original position
from which they were removed.

2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the tire and wheel assembly.
(Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
NOTE :
In some cases, it may be necessary to retract the caliper piston in its bore a small amount in order to provide suf-
ficient clearance between the pads and the rotor. 3. Remove the lower rear caliper guide pin bolt (2). (Tighten: Rear caliper guide pin bolt to 23 N·m)
CAUTION: When moving rear brake caliper
upward, use extreme care not to damage or
overextend the flex hose.

enough to allow brake pad removal.
