Use a handy vacuum pump to check.
Replace vacuum hose with the check valve as a set if damage or
deformation is present at the vacuum hose.When connected to booster side (1):
Vacuum decrease should be within 1.3 kPa
(10 mmHg, 0.39 inHg) for 15 seconds under

CAUTION:
• Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
• While removing brake pad or cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolts 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.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• When replacing brake pad, replace shim with a new one.

to the torque member.
CAUTION:
• When installing pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it is
not lifted up from torque member, as shown.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily press to piston in.
CAUTION:
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank for fluid level because brake fluid returns to mas-
ter cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt (lower side), and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-23, "
Compo-
nent" .
5. Check brake for drag.

DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surfaces of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace applicable part as neces-
sary.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, secure disc rotor to wheels hub 2 or more positions.
2. Using a dial indicator, check runout.
CAUTION:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the
specifications before measuring runout. Refer to FA X - 5 ,
"On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by
shifting the mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by
one hole.
Thickness Inspection

FRONT DISC BRAKE
1. Using a micrometer, check thickness of disc rotor. If thickness is
outside the standard, replace disc rotor.
2. If runout is still out of the specification, grind rotor with on-car
brake lathe (″MAD, DL-8700″, ″AMMCO 700 and 705″ or equiv-
alent) until runout becomes within the specified limit.
Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000001703801
Burnish the new braking surfaces according to following procedure after refinishing or replacing disc rotors,
pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
• Be careful of vehicle speed because brake does not operate easily until pad 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 pedal for a few minutes to cool brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.Standard thickness : 24.0 mm (0.945 in)
Repair limit thickness : 22.0 mm (0.866 in)
Maximum uneven wear
(measured at 8 positions): 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
or less
