 While removing cylinder body, never depr ess brake pedal because piston will pop out.
 It is not necessary to remove bolts on torq ue member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspe nd cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
 Do not damage piston boot.
 If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
 Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
 Keep rotor clean, from brake fluid.
 Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-23, "
Brake Burnishing Procedure".
Removal and Installation of Brake PadINFOID:0000000001327629
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers,
shims from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing pad retainer from torque member, lift pad
retainer in the direction show n by arrow (shown in the fig-
ure) so as not to deform it.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) or silicone-based grease to the both sides of inner shim and outer shim, install inner shim and
inner shim cover to inner pad, and outer shim and outer shim
cover to outer pad.
2. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) or silicone-based grease to pad contact surface on pad retainers, and install pad retainers and
pads to torque member.
CAUTION:
Inner pad and outer pad have pad-return mechanism on
upper side of pad retainer. When installing pad to torque
member, be sure to install pad return lever to pad wear sen-
sor securely.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member. CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new ones, press in piston until pads can be installed. In this case, care-
fully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank because brake fluid will return to master cylinder
reservoir tank.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-18, "
Component".
5. Secure disc rotor with wheel nuts. Depress brake pedal a few times until it gets a responsive touch.
6. Check brake for drag.
7. Install tires to vehicle.
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper AssemblyINFOID:0000000001327630
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Fasten disc rotor using wheel nut.
3. Drain brake fluid. Refer to BR-8, "

REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Remove sliding pin bolt (one on top).
3. Suspend cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers, shim from torque member.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silic one-based grease to the backside of pad and to both sides
of shim, and install inner shim and shim cover to inner pad, and install the outer shim to outer pad.
2. Install pad retainer and mount pad assemblies to torque member.
3. Push piston in so that pad is firmly installed and mount cylinder body to torque member. CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new ones, press in piston until pads can be installed. In this case, care-
fully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank because brake fluid will return to master cylinder
reservoir tank.
4. Install sliding pin bolt (one on top) and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to BR-24, "
Component".
