ARNING: BRAKE DUST, IF INHALED CAN DAMAGE
YOUR HEALTH. ALWAYS REMOVE BRAKE DUST USING A VACUUM
BRUSH. DO NOT USE A COMPRE SSED-AIR LINE TO DISPERSE
BRAKE DUST INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
• CAUTIONS:
Brake pads must always be replaced in axle sets.
Replacement of nuts and bolts: Various thread-locking
devices are used on nuts and bolts throughout the vehicle. These
devices restrict the number of ti mes a nut or bolt can be used.
For additional information, refer to: General Service Information

(10
0-00 General Information,
Description and Operation).
The High performance brake caliper is aligned to the brake
disc when it is first installed to the vehicle, therefore, care must
be taken not to disturb this alignment. When removing the
caliper; remove the bolts that se cure the anchor bracket to the
vertical link only. DO NOT loosen any other caliper bolts.
Open engine compartment and fit paint work protection covers
to fenders.

Loosen brake fluid reservoir-cap.
Position a cloth around the

7. Repeat above procedure to remo ve opposite side brake pads.

1. CAUTIO
N: Make sure grease does not contact brake-pad
friction surface or brake disc.
To prevent brake squeal apply grease to the shoulders of the
brake-pad backplate.
For additional information, refer to: Specifications
(206-0

Disc Brake, Specifications).
Apply a un iform
layer of grea
se to backplate shoulders,
making sure the whole sh oulder is covered.

2. CAUTIO
N: Make sure the brake pads are fitted with the
direction arrow following the direction of wheel rotation.
Make sure the brake pads are fi tted with the direction arrow
following the direction of wheel rotation.

3. CAUTI O
NS:
Retracting the caliper piston may cause the fluid reservoir
to over-flow. Remove brake flui d spillage immediately from paint
work with clean water.
Make sure the brake pads are installed to the correct
orientation.
Make sure the brake pads ar e fitted with the direction
arrow following the direction of wheel rotation.
Note the condition of pins and replace if necessary.
• NOTE: Slowly retract caliper pistons.

Hydraulic Brake Actuation
Description and Operation

The hydraulic brake system is split in to two independent circuits: the primary ci rcuit operates the front brakes and the
secondary circuit operates the re ar brakes. This type of system prevents comple te brake failure in the event of a brake tube
fracture.
The hydraulic brake system consists of the following components:

uid Level Warning-Lamp

The t
andem master cylinder contains two in
dependent pistons, fluid pressure to each brake circuit is controlled by its own
individual piston. Brake fluid is supplied to the master cylinder by the reservoir, which is divided into two sections to preve nt
total fluid loss should one of the circuits fail. A port situated at the bottom of each section of the reservoir supplies the f luid
to each piston.
The fluid reservoir has a fluid-le vel indicator switch installed, which operates when the fluid level is low, causing the brake
fluid level warning-lamp to illuminate.
Bra
ke Caliper
The brake
calipers are of the single piston
type. The caliper carrier, which is secured to the vertical link by two bolts, carr ies
the single-piston caliper housing. The cali per housing is secured to the caliper carrier by two guide-pins and an anti-rattle
spring. When the brakes are applied, the caliper-housing piston pushes the brake pad in front of it, to wards the brake disc.
This movement forces the calipe r housing to move along the guid e-pins, in the opposite direction of the piston, to apply the
second brake pad.
Br
embo Brake Caliper
The four
cylinder brake caliper is rigidly attached to the vert
ical link via an anchor bracket. The caliper is a split assembly
with each side of the caliper, housing two pistons. The two-pairs of opposed pistons act direct ly on the brake pads mounted
one each side of the disc.
