WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:

While removing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.

It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolts on torque member and brake hose
except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a
wire so that brake hose is not under tension.

If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.

Always replace shim and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.

Keep disc rotor clean of brake fluid.

Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces after refinishing or replacing
rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-38, "

DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surfaces of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. If a malfunction is detected,
replace applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, secure disc rotor to wheels hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Using a dial indicator, check runout.
NOTE:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is with in the speci-
fication before measuring runout. Refer to FA X - 4 , "
On-Vehicle
Inspection" .
3. If runout is outside limit, find the minimum runout point by shift-
ing the mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
4. If runout is still outside the limit after performing the above operation, replace or lathe the disc rotor.
[When lathing, use the Pro–Cut PFM On–Car Brake Lathe (Tool No. 38–PFM90.5) or equivalent.]
Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of disc rotor. If thickness is out-
side standard, replace disc rotor.
