3. Drain brake fluid. Refer to BR-8, "Bleeding Brake System".
4. Remove connecting bolt and torque member bolts using power tool, and remove cylinder body.
5. Remove caliper and disc rotor. If the disc rotor cannot be removed, remove as follows:
Make sure parking brake lever is completely disengaged.
Hold down the disc rotor with the wheel nut and remove the
adjuster hole plug.
Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver through the plug opening and
rotate the star wheel on the adjuster assembly in the direction
shown to loosen and retract the brake shoes.
Prior to removing disc rotor, make alignment mark using a
marker between the hub and disc rotor.
Remove wheel nut and rotor.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Refill with new brake fluid. Refer to MA-19, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Install disc rotor.
Align marks made during removal on the hub and disc rotor.
2. Install cylinder body to the vehicle, and tighten torque member bolts to the specification. Refer to BR-27,
"Component".
CAUTION:
Before installing cylinder body to the vehicle, wipe off oil and grease on washer seats on axle
assembly and mounting surface of cylinder body.
3. Install brake hose to cylinder body and tighten connecting bolt to the specification. Refer to BR-27, "
Com-
ponent".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the copper washer for connecting bolts.
Securely attach brake hose to protrusion on cylinder body.
4. Add new brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to BR-8, "
Bleeding Brake System".
5. Install master cylinder reservoir cap.
6. Adjust the parking brake. Refer to PB-4, "
On-Vehicle Service".
7. Attach the tires to the vehicle. Refer to WT-6, "
Rotation".
CAUTION:
Burnish the brake contact surfaces when refinishing or replacing brake rotors, after replacing pads, or
if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-29, "
Brake Burnishing".
Brake BurnishingINFOID:0000000001724670
Burnish the brake contact surface according to the following procedure after refinishing or replacing rotors,
after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31 MPH).
2. Use medium brake pedal /foot effort to bring the vehicle to a complete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH).
Adjust brake pedal /foot pressure such that vehicle stopping time equals 3 to 5 seconds.
3. To cool the brake system, drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 MPH) for 1 minute without stopping.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3, 10 times or more to complete the burnishing procedure.

conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Inspection ProcedureINFOID:0000000001396664
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. Cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks to
repair the noise.
TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
