2. Apply brake fluid to piston, rubber grease to piston boot, then
install piston boot in to piston groove.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston boot.
3. Insert into cylinder body by hand and insert piston boot piston-side lip into piston groove. CAUTION:
Press piston evenly and vary the pressing point to prevent cylinder inner wall from being rubbed.
4. Install sliding pins and sliding pin boots to torque member.
5. Attach inner shim and inner shim cover to inner pad, and attach the outer shim to the outer pad.
6. Install cylinder body. Tighten sliding pin bolt to the specified torque.
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. If any of them is detected, replace
applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, fix disc rotor to wheel hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge. [Measured at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.]
NOTE:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specifi-
cations before measuring runout. Refer to FAX-4, "
On-Vehicle
Inspection and Service" .
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
4. If runout is still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car brake lathe. (“MAD DL-8700”, “AMMCO 700 and 705” or equivalent.)
Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of disc rotor. If thickness is out-
side the standard, replace disc rotor.

Runout limit
(with the disc rotor attached to
the vehicle) : 0.04 mm (0.0016 in)
Runout limit

4. Fix piston boot with retaining ring.
CAUTION:

Make sure boot is firmly in cylinder body groove.

Do not reuse retaining ring.
5. Install sliding pin bolt and sliding pin boots to torque member.
6. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicon-based grease to the backside of pad and to both sides of shim, and attach inner shim and shim cover to inner pad, and the outer shim and outer shim cover to
outer pad.
7. Assembling shims and shim covers to pad. CAUTION:
When attaching pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it does
not float up higher than torque member, as shown in the fig-
ure.
8. Attach pad retainer and pad to torque member.
9. Install cylinder body. Tighten sliding pin bolts to the specified torque.
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. If any non-standard condition is
detected, replace applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, fix disc rotor to wheel hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge. [Measured at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside disk edge.]
NOTE:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specifi-
cation before measuring runout. Refer to RAX-5, "
On-Vehicle
Inspection and Service" .
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one
hole.
4. If runout still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car brake lathe (“MAD, DL-8700”, “AMMCO 700 and 705” or equivalent).

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect wheel sensor connector.
2. Remove wheel sensor mounting bolts, grommets (front sensor) and clip.
3. Remove wheel sensor.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when installing sensor.

As much as possible, avoid rotating sensor when removing it. Pull sensors out without pulling on
sensor harness.

Take care to avoid damaging sensor edges or rotor teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before
removing front wheel hub and bearing assembly and rear final drive. This is to avoid damage to
sensor wiring and loss of sensor function.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when installing sensor. Tighten installation bolts to specified torques.

When installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron chips on pick-up and mount-
ing hole of sensor. Make sure no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor. Remove
any foreign material and clean the mount.

When installing front sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at the three loca-
tions shown in the figure (2 at shock absorbers and 1 at body panel). When installed, harness
must not be twisted. White line on harness must be visible from front.
