2. Loosen the hose eye-bolt (B) and caliper mounting bolts (C), then remove the rear caliper assembly (A).

Tightening torque
Brake hose to caliper (B):
24.5 - 29.4 N.m (2.5 - 3.0 kgf.m, 18.1 - 21.7 lb-ft)
Caliper assembly to carrier (C):
78.5 - 98.1 N.m (8.0 - 10.0 kgf.m, 57.9 - 72.3 lb-ft)




3. Remove the rear brake disc by loosening the screws (A).





Brembo caliper type

3. Remove the rear brake disc by loosening the screws (A).






Replacement

Rear Brake Pads (General caliper type)
1. Loosen the guide rod bolt (B) and remove the caliper body (A).

Tightening torque :
21.6 - 31.4 N.m (2.2 - 3.2 kgf.m, 15.9 - 23.1 lb-ft)




2. Replace pad shim, pad retainers (C) and brake pads (B) in the caliper bracket (A).





Rear Brake Pads (Brembo caliper type)
1. Remove the guide pin (B) of the lower part with the pin punch (A).

Tightening torque :
21.6 - 31.4 N.m (2.2 - 3.2 kgf.m, 15.9 - 23.1 lb-ft)




2. Remove the guide pin (C) of the upper part and the retraction spring (D).




3. Replace brake pads (E) at the caliper body.






Inspection

Rear Brake Disc Thickness Check
1. Check the brake pads for wear and fade.
2. Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
3. Remove all rust and contamination from the surface, and measure the disc thickness at 8 points, at least, of same distance (5mm) from the brake disc outer circle.

Brake disc thickness
General caliper type
Standard: 13mm (0.51in)
Service limit: 11.4mm (0.45in)
Deviation: Less than 0.005mm (0.0002in) - circumference
Less than 0.01mm (0.00039in) - radius
Brembo caliper type
Standard: 20mm (0.79in)
Service limit: 18mm (0.71in)
Deviation: Less than 0.01mm (0.0004in) - circumference
Less than 0.04mm (0.0016in) - radius




4. If wear exceeds the limit, replace the discs and pad assembly left and right of the vehicle.

Rear Brake Pad Check
1. Check the pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace it, if it is less than the specified value.

Pad thickness
General caliper type
Standard value: 9mm (0.354in)
Service limit : 2.0mm (0.0787in)
Brembo caliper type
Standard value : 9.1mm (0.358in)
Service limit : 2.0mm (0.0787in)

2. Check that grease is applied, to sliding contact points and the pad and backing metal for damage.

Rear Brake Disc Runout Check
1. Place a dial gauge about 5mm (0.2 in.) from the outer circumference of the brake disc, and measure the runout of the disc.

Brake disc runout
Limit: 0.035mm (0.00137in.) or less (new one)




2. If the runout of the brake disc exceeds the limit specification, replace the disc, and then measure the runout again.
3. If the runout exceeds the limit specification, install the brake disc after turning it 180° and then check the runout of the brake disc again.
4. If the runout cannot be corrected by changing the position of the brake disc, replace the brake disc.

Installation

1. Installation is the reverse of removal.
2. Use a SST (09581-11000) when installing the brake caliper assembly.
3. After installation, bleed the brake system.
