REAR DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

CAUTION
Take care not to contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe it off quickly.

Disassembly Steps 1-10:

LUBRICATION POINTS





DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS

[A] PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL

CAUTION
Do not remove one piston separately before trying to remove the other piston, because it will become impossible to remove other pistons.





Remove the pistons by pumping in air slowly from the brake hose connection. Be sure to use a wood block and adjust the height of the two pistons while so that the pistons protrude evenly.

[B] PISTON SEAL REMOVAL

CAUTION
To prevent damage to inner cylinder, do not use a flat-tipped screwdriver or other tool.

1. Remove the piston seal with finger tip.
2. Clean the piston surface and cylinder inner face with alcohol or specified brake fluid.
Brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT4

INSPECTION
^ Check the cylinder for wear, damage or rust.
^ Check the piston surface for wear, damage or rust.
^ Check the caliper body for wear.
^ Check the pad for damage or adhesion of grease, check the backing metal for damage.

PAD WEAR CHECK

WARNING
^ Always replace both brake pads on each wheel as a set (both front wheels or both rear wheels). Failure to do so will result in uneven braking, which may cause unreliable brake operation.
^ If there is significant difference in the thickness of the pads on the left and right sides, check the moving parts.





Measure thickness at the thinnest, most worn area of the pad. Replace the pad assembly if pad thickness is less than the limit value.

Standard value: 9.0 mm (0.35 inch)
Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
