3) Remove caliper (1) from caliper carrier (2).
4) Remove brake pads (3).
INSPECTION
Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit, replace with
new one.
Brake pad thickness (lining thickness)
Standard : 10 mm (0.40 in.)
Limit : 1 mm (0.04 in.)
INSTALLATION
1) Set brake pad springs (1) and shim (2) and install brake
pads (3).
2) Install caliper and tighten caliper pin bolts (1) to specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Caliper pin bolts (a) : 26 N·m (2.6 kg-m, 19.0 lb-ft)
3) Tighten wheel temporarily and lower lift.NOTE:
Hang removed caliper (1) with a wire hook (4) or the like
so as to prevent brake hose from bending and twisting
excessively or being pulled.
Don’t operate brake pedal with brake pads removed.
CAUTION:
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If lining is pol-
ished with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be
deposited in lining and may damage disc. When pad lin-
ing requires correction, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
When pads are removed, visually inspect caliper for
brake fluid leak. Correct leaky point, if any.
NOTE:
For right side brake, install pad with wear indicator (4) to
vehicle center side.

ness.
CALIPER ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Remove E-ring (1).
3) Loosen flexible hose joint bolt (1) a little at caliper.
4) Remove caliper pin bolts (1).
5) Remove caliper from caliper carrier.
6) Disconnect flexible hose from caliper using care not to twist
it. As this will allow brake fluid to flow out of flexible hose,
have a container ready beforehand.
