Pad lining thickness
Standard value : 10.5 mm (0.413 in.)
Service limit : 2.0 mm (0.0787 in.)






CAUTION:
1. If the pad lining thickness is out of specification, left and right pads must be replaced as a complete set.
2. When the thickness difference between the left pad and right pad is large, check the sliding condition of the piston, the lock pin and the guide pin.

2. Remove the guide pin, lift the caliper assembly up and suspend it with a wire.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to contaminate the lock pin and guide pin with grease.

A. Pad and wear sensor assembly
B. Pad spring
C. Outer shim
