1.Clean the piston and caliper bore with brake fluid,
and inspect for wear and damage.
Coat a new Diston seal with the recommended rub-
ber grease in the caliper seal set, and installthe seal
in the cylinder groove.
Apply the recommended seal grease in the caliper
seal set to the sealing lips and inside ol a new pis-
ton boot, and securely install it in the caliper with a
new boot clip.

Master Cylinder/Brake Booster
Pushrod Glearance Adjustment
NOTEr
. The master cylinder pushrod-to-piston clearancemust be checked and adjustments made, if neces_sary, before installing the master cylinder.. ABS type is shown, conventional brake type is similar.
1. Set the special tool on the master cylinde. body; push
in the center shaft until the top of it contacts the endofthe secondary piston by turning the adjusting nut.
Without disturbing the center shaft's Dosition, installthe specialtool upside down on the booster.Install the master cylinder nuts, and tighten to thespecified torque.
Connect the booster in-line with a vacuum gauge O _
101 kPa (0 - 760 mmHg, 30 in.Hg) to the booster,sengine vacuum supply, and maintain an enginespeed that will deliver 66 kpa (500 mmHg, 20 in.Hg)vacuum.
With a feeler gauge. measure the clearance Detweenthe gauge body and the adjusting nut as shown.

NOTE: lf the clearance between the gauge bodyand 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 is0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm(0.02 in) or more. Therefore, it must be adjusted andrechecked.
6. lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut, andturn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
NOTE;
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuumis applied to the booster.. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star locknut securely.

Brake Booster InsPection
FunctionalTest
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 lf
the pedal sinks' either the master cYlinder is
bypassing internally, or the brake system (master
cylinder. lines. modulator, proportioning control
valve, or caliPer) is ieaking.
2. Start the engine with the pedal depressed lf the
pedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is operating
normally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the
booster or check valve is faultY.
3. 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 cvlinder is faulty. A slight change in
pedal height when the A'lC compressor cycles on
and off if 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
faulty.
2, With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure When the
Dedal is first depressed, it should be low On con-
secutive applications, the pedal height should grad-
uallv rise. lf the pedal position does not vary, checK
the booster check valve.

Booster Check Valve Test
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster.
2. Stan the engine and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum. lf no vacuum is available, the check valve is
not working properly. Replace the brake booster
vacuum hose and check valve, and retest.

Rear Brake Disc
Disc Runout Inspection
1.Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise thevehicle, and suppon it on safety stands. Removethe front wheels.
Remove the brake pads (see page 19-24).
Inspect the disc surface for damage and cracks.Clean the disc thoaoughly, and remove a

rust.
Use wheel nuts and suitable plain washers to holdthe disc securely against the hub. then mount a dialindicator as shown. and measure the runout at10 mm (0.4 in) from the outer edge of the disc.
Brake Disc Runout:
Service Limit:0.10 mm {0.00,t in)
5. lf the disc is beyond the service limit, refinish thebrake disc,
Max. Retinishing Limit: 8.0 mm {0.31 in)
NOTE: A new disc should be refinished if its runoutis greater than 0.10 mm (0.004 in).

Disc Thickness and Parallelism
Inspection
1. Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise thevehicle, and support it on safety stands. Removethe front wh6els.
2. Remove the brake pads (see page j9-24).
3. Using a micrometer. measure disc thickness aterght points, approximately 45" apart and 1o mm{0.4 in) in from the outer edge of the disc. Replacethe brake disc if the smallest measurement is lessthan the max. refinishing limit.
Brake Disc Thickness:
Standard: 8.9 - 9.1 mm (0.350 - 0.358 in)Max. Rsfinishing Limit: 8.0 mm {0.31 in}
Brake Disc Parallelirm: 0.015 mm(0.0006 inl msx.
NOTE; This is the maximum allowable differencebetween the thickness measurements.
4. lf the disc is beyond the service limit for Darallelism.refinish the brake disc.
NOTE; See section 18 for brake disc replacement.
