CHECK FOR FRONT BRAKE AFTER INSTALLATION
Mount tires and make certain that they rotate smoothly, with a
force of less than 3.0 kg (6.6 Ib).
If tire rotation is heavy, check the following:
Piston, piston seal and cylinder slide bush of caliper for
installation.
Wheel bearings for breakage.
Disc for flatness (Improper flatness brings disc into contact
with lining during rotation and makes rotation heavy).
To check this, measure disc deflection.NOTE:
For above check the following must be observed.
Jack up front wheels, both right and left, off the
ground.
Shift transfer shift lever to 2H (rear wheel) position (if
equipped) and start engine for a few seconds then
stop.
Side figure shows outer periphery of tire.
Be careful not to depress brake pedal when checking
tire for rotation.
