REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
- When the limit is exceeded, the brake pads on both the left and right wheels must be replaced as a set.
- If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses of the pads on the left and right sides, check the sliding condition of the piston, lock pin and guide pin.
Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the slide pin or allow it to contaminate the friction surface of the pads.
- Refer to the illustration when servicing the pads.
1. Remove the guide pin and rotate the caliper assembly upwards.
2. Support the assembly with wire.
3. Remove the pad and wear indicator assembly.
Guide Pin/Caliper Support:
4. Remove the outer shim.
5. Remove the pad assembly.
6. Remove the pad and wear indicator assembly.
7. Remove clip.
- Reverse procedure to install, noting the following:
- Measure the brake drag force. If the drag force of the disc brake exceeds the standard value, disassemble piston and clean piston. Check for corrosion or worn piston seal, and check the sliding condition of the slide pins. Replace as necessary.
CAUTION: Do not deposit grease or other dirt on pad or brake disc friction surfaces. The grease should be applied so that it does not protrude from the shim surfaces.
