Rear Brake Pads
Inspection and Replacement
Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brakeassemblies.
Use an OsHA-apptoved vacuum cl€aner to avoidbreathing brake dust,
Block the front wheels, loosen the rear wneet nutsslightly, support the rear of the vehicle on safetystands, then remove the rear wheels.
Release the parking brake, and remove the calioersh ield.
CALIPER SHIELD
Remove the brake hose clamp bolt from the trailingarm first, then remove the two caliper mountingbolts and the caliper from the bracket.
CAUTION:
. Thoroughly clean the outside of the caliDer toprevent dust and dirt trom entering inside.. Support the calipor with a pieco of wire so thatit does not hang fuom the brake hose.

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).

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.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABSI
Featu res/Construction
When the brake pedal is depressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop, In such a case,the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is reduced if therear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels toensure the grip force of the tires. and it thereby ensures the maneuverbility and stability of the vehicle.Judging the vehicle speed. the ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the vehicle speed and the wheel speed,then it controls the brake fluid pressure to attain the target slip rate.
