Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000003890162
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000003811170
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake with a vacuum dust collector. Never blow with com-
pressed air.
CAUTION:
 Only use “DOT 3 or DOT 4” brake fluid. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
 Always clean with new brake fluid when cleaning the master cylinder, brake caliper and other com-
ponents.
 Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and
cause improper operation.
 Always loosen the brake tube flare nut with a flare nut wrench.
 Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with
torque wrench (A).
 Always confirm the specified tightening torque when install-
ing the brake pipes.
 Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator
and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery nega-
tive terminal before performing the work.
 Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing
the parts.
 Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replac-
ing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at
very low mileage.

BRAKE PAD : Inspection and Adjustment".
- Front disc rotor: refer to BR-13, "
DISC ROTOR : Inspection and Adjustment".
- Rear brake pad: refer to BR-15, "

FRONT DISC BRAKE
BRAKE PAD
BRAKE PAD : Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000003811179
INSPECTION
Check brake pad wear thickness from an inspection hole on cylinder
body. Check using a scale if necessary.
ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
 Burnish contact surfaces between pads according to the following procedure after refinishing or
replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
 Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate firmly/securely until pads and disc
rotor are securely fitted.
 Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.
DISC ROTOR
DISC ROTOR : Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000003811180
INSPECTION
Appearance
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace if there are any abnormal
conditions.
Runout
1. Fix the disc rotor to the wheel hub and bearing assembly with
wheel nuts (2 points at least).
2. Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection.
Refer to FA X - 6 , "
Inspection".
3. Inspect the runout with a dial indicator to measured at 10 mm
(0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
4. Find the installation position with a minimum runout by shifting the disc rotor-to-wheel hub and bearing
assembly installation position by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit value.
5. Replace or refinish the disc rotor if the runout is outside the limit even after performing the above opera-
tion.

BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : InspectionINFOID:0000000003811210
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
Check the inner wall of the cylinder for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.
CAUTION:
Always clean with new brake fluid. Never clean with mineral oil such as gasoline and light oil.
Torque Member
Check the torque member for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.
Piston
Check the surface of the piston for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.
CAUTION:
A piston sliding surface is plated. Never polish with sandpaper.
Sliding Pin, Sliding Pin Boot and Bushing
Check the sliding pins, sliding boot and bushing for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check a drag of front disc brake. If any drag is found, follow the procedure described below.
2. Remove brake pads.
3. Press the piston.
CAUTION:
 Never damage the piston boot.
 When replacing a pad with new one, check a brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake
fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool to easily press piston.
4. Install brake pads.
5. Depress the brake pedal several times.
6. Check a drag of front disc brake again. If any drag is found, disassemble the cylinder body. Refer to BR-
36, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Disassembly and Assembly".
7. Burnish contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing disc rotors, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mile-
age. Refer to BR-13, "
