BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT
1. Turn up the carpet, etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated.
Standard value (A): 169.1 - 172.1 mm
3. If the brake pedal height is not within the standard value,
follow the procedure below.
(1) Disconnect the stop lamp switch connector.
(2) Loosen the stop lamp switch by turning it approx.
1/4 turns anticlockwise.
(3) Remove the brake booster. (Refer to P.35A-17.)
NOTE
With the master cylinder and brake pipe connected,
remove the brake booster only.
(4) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the clevis.
NOTE
When the clevis is turned 180_, the pedal hight is
changed approximately 2.4 mm.
(5) Install the brake booster. (Refer to P.35A-17.)
(6) Measure brake pedal height, and ensure that the
measured value is within the specified value. When
it is out of the specified value, repeat Step (3) - (6).
(7) Insert the stop lamp switch until it’s thread part touches
the stopper. Then lock the stop lamp switch by turning
it approx. 1/4 turns clockwise, and confirm that the
clearance between the switch plunger and the stopper
is as shown.
(8) Connect the connector at the stop lamp switch.
Caution
Check that the stop lamp does not illuminate when
the brake pedal is not depressed.
4. Return the carpet, etc.
BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY
1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two
or three times, After eliminating the vacuum in the power
brake booster, press the pedal down by hand, and confirm
that the amount of movement before resistance is met
(the free play) is within the standard value.
Standard value (B):3–8mm

2. If the brake pedal play is not within the standard value,
check the following, and adjust or replace if necessary:
DExcessive play between the brake pedal and the clevis
pin, or between the clevis pin and the brake booster
operating rod
DBrake pedal height
DInstallation position of the stop lamp switch, etc.
CLEARANCE BETWEEN BRAKE PEDAL AND FLOOR
BOARD
1. Turn up the carpet etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with
approximately 500 N of force, and measure the clearance
between the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value (C): 90 mm or more
3. If the clearance is outside the standard value, check for
air trapped in the brake line and thickness of the disc
brake pad and dragging in the parking brake.
Adjust and replace defective parts as required.
4. Return the carpet, etc.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING TEST
For simple checking of the brake booster operation, carry
out the following tests:
1. Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop
it.
If the pedal depresses fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly. If the pedal height remains
unchanged, the booster is defective.
2. With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times.
Then start the engine while the brake pedal is stepped
on.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is
defective.
3. With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and
then stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition.
If the pedal rises, the booster is defective.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance
can be determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at least, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be defective.

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM -Disc Brake35A-27
DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
Caution: Brembo disc brake
Take care not to contact the parts or tools to the caliper
because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And if
there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe out quickly.
AA"PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL

Remove the piston boot by pumping in air slowly from the
brake hose connection. Be sure to use the handle of a plastic
hammer and adjust the height of the two pistons while so
that the pistons protrude evenly.
Caution
Do not remove one piston completely before trying to
remove the other piston, because it will become
impossible to remove the second piston.

Use a piece of wood to protect the caliper body outer side,
and then apply compressed air through the brake hose
connection hole to withdraw the piston and piston boot.
Caution
If air is blown into the caliper body suddenly, the piston
will pop out, causing damage to the caliper body. Be
sure to apply compressed air gradually.
AB"PISTON SEAL REMOVAL
1. Remove the piston seal with finger tip.
Caution
Do not use a flat-tipped screwdriver or other tool to
prevent damage to inner cylinder.
2. Clean piston surface and inner bore with trichloroethylene,
alcohol or the specified brake fluid.
Specified brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT4
REASSEMBLY SERVICE POINT
Caution: Brembo disc brake
Take care not to contact the parts or tools to the caliper
because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And if
there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe out quickly.
