lowed to avoid any injury to the person doing the
work or people in the area.
1. OPERATION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective
goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary re-
moval, installation, disassembly and replacement.
•Use SUBARU genuine grease etc. or equivalent.
Do not mix grease etc. with that of another grade or
from other manufacturers.
•Before securing a part in a vise, place cushioning
material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate or
cloth between the part and the vise.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.
2. OIL
When handling oil, follow the rules below to prevent
unexpected accidents.
•Prepare container and waste cloths when per-
forming work which oil could possibly spill. If oil
spills, wipe it off immediately to prevent from pene-
trating into floor or flowing outside, for environmen-
tal protection.
•Follow all government and local regulations con-
cerning waste disposal.
3. BRAKE FLUID
If brake fluid gets in your eyes or on your skin, do
the following:
•Wash eyes and seek immediate medical atten-
tion.
•Wash your skin with soap and then rinse thor-
oughly with water.
Follow all government and local regulations con-
cerning waste disposal.

BRAKE
2. Front Brake Pad
A: REMOVAL
1) Lift-up the vehicle, and remove the front wheels.
2) Remove the caliper bolt.
3) Raise the caliper body and support it.
NOTE:
Do not disconnect the brake hose from the caliper
body.
4) Remove the pad.
B: INSTALLATION

clip.
2) Apply a thin coat of Molykote AS880N (Part No.
K0779YA010) to the contact surface between the
pad and pad inner shim.
3) Apply a thin coat of Molykote AS880N (Part No.
K0779YA010) to the three contact surfaces be-
tween inner shim and outer shim of outer pads.

4) Install the pad to support.
NOTE:
Install the pad indicator in proper direction.
CAUTION:
•Be sure to install so that the pad return
spring faces the input side of the direction of
brake rotor rotation, as shown in the figure.
•Correctly install the pad return spring to the
supporting surface of the pad clip as shown in
the figure.
•If the pad return spring is deformed or dam-
aged, replace the brake pad.
5) Install the caliper body to the support.
Tightening torque:
27 N·m (2.8 kgf-m, 19.9 ft-lb)
C: INSPECTION
Check thickness A of the pad.
NOTE:
•Always replace the pads on both sides as a set.
•Replace pad clips if they are twisted or worn.
•Replace the pad if there is oil or grease on it.

Front Disc Rotor
BRAKE
3. Front Disc Rotor
A: REMOVAL
1) Lift-up the vehicle, and remove the front wheels.
2) Remove the caliper body and the support from
housing, and suspend it from the strut using a wire.
3) Remove the disc rotor.
NOTE:
If it is difficult to remove the disc rotor from the hub,
drive an 8 mm bolt into the threaded section (B) of
the rotor, then remove the rotor.
4) Remove mud and foreign matter from the caliper
body assembly and support.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Install the disc rotor.
2) Install the caliper body and the support to hous-
ing.
Tightening torque:
120 N·m (12.2 kgf-m, 88.5 ft-lb)
3) Install the front wheels.
C: INSPECTION
1) Check the front wheel bearing play and axle hub
runout before the inspection of disc rotor runout
limit.
2) Secure the disc rotor by tightening the five wheel
nuts.
3) Set a dial gauge 10 mm (0. 39 in) inward from
the disc rotor outer circumference. Rotate the disc
rotor to check runout. If the disc rotor runout ex-
ceeds the limit, replace with a new disc rotor. After
grinding, check disk rotor thickness according to
step 4).
Disc rotor runout limit:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
4) Set a micrometer 10 mm (0.39 in) inward from
the disc rotor outer perimeter, and then measure
the disc rotor thickness. If the thickness of the disc
rotor exceeds the service limit, replace with a new
disc rotor.
