Rear

REAR DISC BRAKES - The rear disc brakes consist of:
^ rear brake shoes and linings.
^ disc brake rotors.
^ floating type caliper assemblies with integral mechanically (cable) operated parking brake mechanism.
^ disc brake caliper anchor plate.
^ a cable operated lever on the back of the disc brake calipers to activate the parking brake feature.
^ self adjusting parking brake mechanism in the disc brake caliper.
^ wheel brake hoses.

OPERATION - The rear disc brake system operates as follows:
^ Hydraulic pressure pushes rear disc brake piston and adjuster outward and applies pressure on the inboard rear brake shoe and lining.
^ The rear disc brake caliper slides inward on the disc brake caliper locating pins to apply pressure on the outboard brake shoe and lining.
^ As the rear disc brake piston and adjuster travels outward, the square-cut piston seal distorts.
^ When brake pedal is released, the square-cut seal returns the rear disc brake piston and adjuster to its normal position.
^ If the movement of the rear disc brake piston and adjuster is less than the square-cut seal deformation limit, no self-adjustment takes place. If the movement of the rear disc brake piston and adjuster is greater than the deformation limit of the square-cut seal, the rear disc brake piston and adjuster and sleeve nut will travel on the threads of the rear disc brake adjuster spindle. This is because the loosened rear wheel brake caliper springs allow the sleeve nut to rotate.
^ When the brake pedal is released, the rear disc brake piston and adjuster returns the amount the square-cut seal was deformed, but it does not return to its original position. This is because the tightened rear wheel brake caliper springs do not allow the sleeve nut to rotate and travel on the thread of the rear disc brake adjuster spindle

ROTOR
^ vented, full-cast 252 mm (9.90 inch) rotor.
^ The cast-iron disc brake rotor is mounted to the wheel hub.
^ Braking surfaces are separated by non-directional cooling fins.

CALIPER - The rear disc brake caliper assembly consists of:
^ hydraulically-actuated, pin slider type caliper assemblies with integral mechanically (cable) operated parking brake mechanism.
^ rear disc brake caliper body
^ rear disc brake piston and adjuster and dust boot
^ rear disc brake caliper anchor plate
^ rear brake shoes and linings
^ parking brake mechanism
^ The disc brake caliper slides on a hollow guide pin and a disc brake caliper locating pin. The guide pin is secured to the disc brake caliper anchor plate.

BRAKE SHOE AND LINING - The rear brake shoes and linings are held in the disc brake caliper anchor plate by two clips. The disc brake caliper must be removed to replace brake shoes and linings.

ANTI-RATTLE CLIP - A single disc brake pad anti-rattle clip is mounted on the top of the rear disc brake caliper applying spring tension on the brake shoe and lining.

SUPPORT BRACKET - The rear disc brake caliper anchor plate transmits braking torque from the inner and outer brake shoe and lining to the wheel spindle.


NOISE - Brake friction materials inherently generate noise and heat in order to dissipate energy. As a result, occasional squeal is possible, which may be aggravated by severe environmental conditions such as cold, heat, rain, snow, salt and mud.
